You Will Then Be Able To See If Your Dental Hygiene And Oral Healthcare Routine Is Effective And Improving Over Time.

"I cannot recommend Peter Davis enough. I had root treatment 13 years ago and it's still going strong (after being advised I needed an extraction/implant) so pleased I got a second opinion and was able to save my tooth. 1 am a nervous patient and I have read all the horror stories, but you really don't need to be worries as you are in the best hands possible. Both procedures I have had have been completely painless too. I have to travel 1 hour 30 minutes to get to Tavistock, but I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Peter and the team are, quite frankly, absolutely fantastic. I have had to undergo two route canals in the last 2 years. Both carried out in a caring and professional manor by Peter and the team. Would highly recommend. And worth the 5hr round trip for me traveling from Bristol.
