Nothing is as good as a natural tooth! And sometimes your natural tooth may need root canal (endodontic) treatment for it to remain a healthy part of your mouth.
Here at Charlton Road Dental we provide root canal treatment under the microscope using the most modern techniques. Dr Francesca Norton limits her practice of dentistry to the provision of high-level root canal treatments under the microscope.
Root Canal Treatment is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. In addition, an injury to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.
Most patients report that having root canal (endodontic) treatment today is as normal as having a filling.
