Suitability for root canal treatment depends on clinical findings, imaging and the overall condition of the tooth. Not every painful tooth needs this procedure, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
In some cases, alternative care may be more appropriate. If you develop spreading swelling, fever, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek urgent medical or dental help immediately.
We will always discuss benefits, limitations and likely longevity before any treatment is started.
If you are in or around Peckham Rye and would like to explore root canal care with our Camberwell team, please contact us to arrange an assessment. We will listen to your concerns, explain your options and help you decide on a plan that fits your needs and timeline.
Not always. Toothache can have several causes. We examine the tooth and take X-rays where needed to confirm whether the pulp is affected and if root canal treatment, another treatment, or monitoring is most appropriate.
Local anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable. You may feel pressure or vibration during treatment. Some tenderness afterwards is possible and usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief used as directed. We explain comfort and aftercare before you leave.
Many straightforward cases are completed in one or two appointments. Teeth with multiple roots, complex anatomy or significant infection may need additional visits. We will outline the likely number once we have examined the tooth and reviewed the imaging.
It depends on the tooth and how much sound structure remains. Back teeth often benefit from a crown to help protect against fracture. We will advise whether a filling or crown is best after treatment when the tooth is reassessed.
If the tooth is not restorable or root canal treatment is not advisable, we will discuss alternatives, including extraction and replacement options. Your plan will reflect clinical findings, your preferences and long-term oral health.
Yes. Our practice is in Camberwell and within reach of local transport links. We will aim to offer appointment times that work around study or work where possible, and provide clear instructions before and after visits.
