FAQ'S
You cannot be sure without an examination. Lingering pain, tenderness on biting, swelling or a gum pimple can suggest pulp involvement. We confirm with clinical tests and X-rays, then discuss suitable options for your situation.
We use local anaesthetic and work at a measured pace, explaining each step. Most people manage well. If you feel especially anxious, sedation may be considered when clinically appropriate.
Some straightforward cases can be completed in a single visit. More complex infections, curved canals or multi-rooted teeth often need two or more visits, sometimes with a medicated dressing and a temporary filling between appointments.
It depends on the tooth and how much sound structure remains. Back teeth and heavily restored teeth often benefit from a crown for protection. We will advise whether a filling or a crown is the safer long-term option.
Alternatives may include extraction, monitoring if symptoms are unclear, or referral for further assessment. We will explain the implications of each choice, including how a tooth might be replaced if removal becomes necessary.
Yes. People from the wider Brockwell Park area, including Herne Hill and Tulse Hill, are routinely seen at our Camberwell practice. We will help arrange a convenient appointment and tell you what to expect at your visit.
