Complications after root canal treatment. Who pays?

Question:

I've had a root canal in my tooth and when this began to crumble, I got a crown instead (in February 2009). Now I have got an infection in the same tooth, which has evolved into a large tooth abscess. It has been incredibly painful and been on pencilinkur and painkillers. I have today (d. 7/9-09) been to the dentist and get the knowledge that it is a tandrodsbetændelse. I have now studied the NetDoctor what caused this and it says that the reason for tandrodsbetændelse is that there are still hiding in dead tissue, and thus bacteria in root canal nooks. It will then say to the dentist in the dawn of time have not made my root canal well enough. Can it be true that I have to pay for a tandrodsbehandling, or more surgery?? That is because those who have not done their needlework good enough, due to my problem today. There must be some kind of warranty. Hope you can answer my question. Sincerely f

Answer:

Dear Sisse,

There is usually no guarantee of dentistry. Your dentist has probably done its job properly, but there are limits to how we can achieve with our instruments. There is one of several main channels in the roots depending on the tooth type we are talking about. And there are also these little bikanaler where we can not come up with The instrument. Sometimes it was undesirable to come infection in them. The only way you can get to them is through this little rodoperation.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen
