Almost every root canal we perform began as a small cavity that could have been filled in a single visit.
The prevention checklist
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste for two full minutes
- Clean between teeth daily with floss or interdental brushes
- Limit sugary drinks to mealtimes
- Book a scale and polish every six months
- Treat sensitivity early rather than avoiding the tooth
- Replace your toothbrush every three months
A routine cleaning costs a fraction of restorative work. Prevention is always the cheaper appointment.
