For patients with autoimmune conditions, root canal therapy may not be a good option. This is because they have delayed or poor healing after infections or surgeries. For patients who are receiving treatment for cancer or osteoporosis, root canals might be an excellent treatment option to avoid performing extractions. Each patient and tooth to be treated should be evaluated carefully to determine if root canal therapy is a good option. Our Lincoln family dentists can help you make a great decision for your overall health.
