Root Canal Treatment

At White Cross, we offer the very latest in endodontic technology and services. We are one of the few centres that offer root canal therapy treatment using a laser to ensure the highest standard of treatment. A tooth has a core of blood vessels and nerves at its centre, this living tissue is called pulp and it is in the space called a root canal, and the number of canals a tooth has varies, depending on how far back the tooth is in the mouth. Your front teeth often have one root canal, and back teeth have three or more. If your tooth’s pulp is damaged, the blood vessels may die; this results in a dead tooth, and the pulp becomes infected. The aim of Root Canal Treatment is to remove all the damaged pulp and bacteria that is causing infection in the root canal. This involves removing of dead nerves and blood vessels from the tooth
