At Dental Art we carry out root canal treatment for teeth in which decay or trauma may have destroyed the nerve of the tooth. The treatment is often carried out over 2 dental visits and involves cleaning the roots followed by placement of a special root filling into the tooth. Following root canal treatment, the tooth is weakened and to prevent the tooth from fracturing a dental crown is often advised. This will all be discussed with your dentist in the initial consultation along with all risks and benefits of the treatment options.
