Root canal therapy
Root canal therapy is provided when infection reaches the pulp chamber (the nerve) within the hollow centre of the tooth. High incidence of claims for this item of treatment may indicate: poor dietary habits leading to decay; social deprivation; or dental treatment being sought only after pain occurs.
