Endodontics

Endodontics is an area of dentistry specialising in dealing with the causes, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases of the dental pulp (the part in the centre of the tooth made up of living tissues and cells). Endodontic treatment is the last stage in attempting to save a tooth. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential, otherwise it may lead to a severe infection.

All dentists are trained in endodontic (root canal) therapy. An Endodontist is a dentist who has completed a minimum of 2 or 3 years of postgraduate specialist training. In the UK, this title is awarded after a rigorous assessment process.

In more difficult and complex cases, your dentist may refer you to a Specialist who will use a microscope and intricate equipment to give you the best possible result.

Our practice is one of few referral centres in the South East that has all specialities under one roof. Our highly skilled in-house Endodontist will strive to provide you with comfortable and painless treatment, so you can be rest assured you will be in good hands.

A Healthy Tooth vs Infected Tooth

An infection of the dental pulp (nerve and blood supply) of the tooth can occur as a result of a cavity or trauma. Your symptoms may include acute pain, swelling or an abscess.

Patient Journey

Consultation

The complexity of your problem will be assessed by our Specialist through detailed evaluation.

Treatment

The treatment will be carried out over one or two sessions to eradicate the infection within the tooth and bone.

Review

After a period of healing, you will be referred back to your dentist for a full coverage restoration, such as a crown.
