Your teeth are the best friends you’ll ever have. Look after them and they’ll look after you. For that very reason we will do our best to ensure we can save a tooth even if it has become damaged due to decay, disease or injury.
One of the best methods to save a tooth is root canal treatment. Root canal treatment is successful in most cases.
To save a tooth, root canal treatment is needed when the pulp becomes severely inflamed or infected. This can be caused by:
- Breakdown of a filling or crown
- A deep cavity
- Trauma
- Gum disease
- Crack or chip in the tooth
- Extreme wear
- Extensive dental work to the tooth
To improve the chances of success, root canal treatment should be started as soon as possible.
