Now The Root Has Been Saved, What Next?

Now that we have successfully saved your tooth’s root, it’s highly recommended that you have a Crown placed over the top. As the tooth could become brittle and prone to fracture, a Crown acts as a strong helmet, protecting the tooth in question.

Saving Your Teeth Is The Highest Priority

Conducting a Root Canal treatment is a way of saving your tooth, and we always try and save a tooth if we possibly can.

Firstly, to avoid infection, we’ll begin by treating the nerve under the affected tooth with an antibiotic.
