The Latest from Facebook
Root canal treatment of a cheek tooth - same case as the last video - this is flushing the pulp canals once the necrotic dead pulp tissue was removed - great to be able to offer an alternative to extraction in selected cases - root canal therapy is not suitable for all tooth infections / abscesses but increasingly we view extraction as the ‘easy’ option;
The benefits of root canal treatment
- the horse keeps the tooth
- the balance of the mouth is un-altered
- the opposite tooth continues to wear normally
- the horse can go straight back into work, with almost no time off
This technique gives us real flexibility when choosing how to manage a tooth abscess :)
