Clear, honest answers to the questions patients ask me most - from whether treatment hurts and the signs you might need a root canal, to how treatment is done under the dental operating microscope, why I use 3D scans, and how to care for your tooth afterwards.
These guides are written for patients who have been referred to me, and for anyone who wants to understand a symptom before seeing their dentist. Each guide explains one topic in plain language, from the early signs of a problem with the pulp (nerve) to what happens during root canal treatment.
The guides are grouped by where you are in your care. Start with Symptoms if you have toothache and are not sure of the cause. Before treatment and The treatment itself explain what to expect, including why I work under a dental operating microscope and use CBCT scans. Conditions I treat covers specific problems such as cracked teeth and dental trauma, and After treatment explains how to look after your tooth once treatment is finished.
