FAQ'S
You cannot tell for certain from symptoms alone. Toothache, prolonged sensitivity, swelling or a bad taste may indicate pulp involvement, but other conditions can feel similar. A clinical examination and X‑rays are required to confirm whether root canal treatment is appropriate.
We use local anaesthetic and a calm, measured approach to help manage discomfort. You may feel pressure or vibration rather than sharp pain. Some tenderness after treatment is possible and usually settles with simple measures. Tell us if you are anxious so we can support you.
It depends on your tooth and the extent of infection. Some cases are completed in one visit; others need two or more appointments to allow for thorough disinfection or to monitor healing. Your dentist will outline the likely sequence after assessment.
Many back teeth benefit from a crown after root canal treatment to protect them from fracture, particularly where there is substantial loss of tooth structure. Front teeth may be restored with a filling. Your restoration plan will be discussed once treatment is complete.
If keeping the tooth is unlikely to be successful, we will explain why and discuss alternatives. These may include extraction and options to restore function and appearance. We will provide guidance tailored to your oral health, bite and aesthetic considerations.
Yes. We regularly see patients from Sydenham and nearby areas. Our team will help you plan appointments and explain what to bring. If you have previous X‑rays or notes, please arrange for copies so we can assess your case efficiently.
