For patients
Endodontic care explained for patients.
Plain-language guides to endodontic diagnosis and treatment, plus how to reach the practice when something is uncomfortable.
Pain & diagnosis
What we do to work out where tooth pain is coming from before any treatment is started.
Root canal treatment
How root canal treatment is carried out, what to expect on the day, and how the tooth is restored afterwards.
Cracked tooth
How cracks are assessed, when teeth can be saved, and how decisions are made carefully with your dentist.
Contact the practice
Reach out by phone, WhatsApp, or the patient enquiry form. No referral letter is required.
Care areas
Topics patients ask about most.
Each page describes the diagnosis, the treatment, and what to expect — written for patients, reviewed by Dr. Shah.
Endodontic diagnosis & pain
Carefully working out whether tooth pain is coming from the pulp, surrounding tissues, or another source — using history, clinical tests, and focused imaging.
Root canal treatment
Calm, magnification-led treatment of the inside of a tooth so that the natural tooth can be kept and restored.
Root canal retreatment
A focused review and re-treatment of a previously treated tooth that has not settled or has developed new findings.
Cracked tooth assessment
A structured look at suspected cracks — using transillumination, dye, bite testing, and imaging — before deciding what is salvageable.
Apical microsurgery
Microsurgical endodontics for cases where non-surgical retreatment is not the right answer or has been exhausted.
Dental trauma
Time-sensitive endodontic management of luxated, avulsed, fractured, and immature traumatised teeth.
When to call sooner
Signs that should not wait.
If something is uncomfortable enough to wake you, or if a tooth feels different after a knock or fall, please reach out the same day rather than waiting.
Patient enquiries

A short message with what is happening, when it started, and how to reach you is enough to begin. Photographs and earlier records can come later.
