Book an appointment with the endodontist for Burton upon Trent
A consultation, a question about a tooth or help with acute pain all start the same way: book online in about a minute, or telephone and a person will book you in and pass anything urgent on the same day. Practice details are confirmed when the appointment is made.
What it helps to tell us
Which tooth or side is bothering you, how long it has been going on, what brings the pain on and whether your dentist has examined it or taken X-rays recently. If you have been referred, give your dentist's name so they can be kept in the picture. If the dentist frightens you, say so — the appointment is planned with that in mind, and sedation can be discussed at the consultation.
Acute pain
Severe or throbbing pain, a swelling and a tooth you cannot bite on are prioritised. Say that your symptoms are urgent when you book; the first appointment deals with the pain and the rest of the treatment is planned once you are comfortable. The emergency root canal treatment page explains what helps in the meantime.
Before you come
- Bring a list of your medicines and any medical conditions
- Bring recent X-rays of the tooth, or ask your dentist to send them
- Eat beforehand — an appointment can last up to 90 minutes
- Plan to avoid chewing on that side until the numbness has gone (two to four hours)
