Together with his postgraduate training this gives him experience particularly suited to appreciate the problems of diagnosis, treatment planning and case management often associated with teeth that require endodontic treatment. He regularly teaches on courses for dentists throughout East Anglia.He is supported by his team who have worked together for many years to provide a relaxed and friendly environment so that he can deliver the best possible care. The latest techniques are used such as the picture of Richard (above) working with his microscope to find all the tiny root canals in the root so the best possible outcome can be achieved.
