Q.8:- HOW LONG IS THE TOOTH LIKELY TO LASTAFTER IT IS ROOT FILLED ?

..ROOT FILLED TEETH OFTEN LAST FOR MANY YEARS. IT IS,OWEVER, VERY DIFFICULT FOR A DENTIST TO COMPLETELYRADICATE THE INFECTION INSIDE THE TOOTH. AS A RESULT,

IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GUARANTEE THAT THE TOOTH WILLURVIVE FOR A PARTICULAR LENGTH OF LENGTH OF TIME.

..IN ANY EVENT, THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF ANY TOOTH ISNTNTIRELY DOWN TO UR DENTIST, BUT IS GREATLY INFLUENCEDY FACTORS UNDER UR OWN CONTROL, SUCH AS UR DIET & HO

ELL U LOOK AFTER UR TEETH.

..IF THE INFECTION COMES BACK IT IS OFTEN POSSIBLE FORR DENTIST TO REPEAT THE RCT TO GET RID OF THE INFECTION

GAIN & AVOID EXTRACTING THE TOOTH.
