Are there alternatives for root canal treatment?
是否有替代根管治疗的方法？
At times, the decay or fracture may be serious enough that it affects the integrity of the tooth and root structure. Root canal treatment will not be suitable in such cases as there is a possibility of failing.
A more suitable alternative would be dental extraction, where your tooth is extracted and replaced with a denture, bridge or implant. This helps to restore chewing, prevent shifting of teeth and reduce risks of gum diseases.
However, root canal treatment is the preferred treatment (if possible) as it fixes your natural tooth.
有时，腐烂或断裂可能严重到影响到牙齿和根部结构的完整性。在这种情况下，根管治疗将不适合，因为有可能会失败。
更合适的选择是拔牙，即拔掉你的牙齿，用假牙、牙桥或种植体来代替。这有助于恢复咀嚼，防止牙齿移位，减少牙龈疾病的风险。
然而，根管治疗是首选的治疗方法（如果可能的话），因为它可以修复你的天然牙齿。
