Root fillings
When the nerve and blood supply to a tooth dies off, an abcess will form in the root. This can be the result of trauma, decay or
gum disease. The choice of treatment available are extracting the offending tooth or saving it with root canal therapy. With modern
techniques this is a reliable and painless procedure where the root of the tooth is cleaned out and then filled to prevent any area
for infection. The tooth can then be restored in appearance and function.
