Exeter Endodontics
Sometimes decay or trauma can lead to an abscess, meaning that the tooth is dying. Often it is possible to save the tooth by having root canal treatment. This involves cleaning the inside of the tooth and roots to remove the dying or dead nerve. The tooth can then be restored back to function.
This procedure can take several visits and occasionally the more complicated cases may require referral to a trusted specialist in this field.

Save your natural tooth and remove pain
The purpose of the treatment is to remove the bacteria from inside the tooth and to disinfect the root canals. This is achieved by making a small hole through the tooth into the pulp chamber, locating and measuring the root canals, then cleaning and widening them using fine instruments called files. Once clean, the canals are filled to seal them from re-infection. In most cases an abscess will start to heal at this point.
