A root canal is designed to save your natural tooth, and with proper care, it can last for many years or even a lifetime. However, in some cases, a treated tooth may become loose or fall out due to a fracture, recurrent decay, gum disease, or a failed restoration such as a missing or damaged crown. Regular dental checkups and timely placement of a permanent crown help protect the tooth and reduce the risk of future problems. If you notice pain, looseness, or swelling, see your dentist promptly for evaluation.
