What happens at an endodontic assessment?

The aim is to understand the cause of your symptoms before recommending treatment. Your dentist may ask about the pain, check the tooth and surrounding gum, test sensitivity or biting pressure, and take dental X-rays if needed.

Once the cause is clearer, the dentist can explain whether monitoring, a filling, root canal treatment, extraction or emergency dental treatment is the more appropriate next step.

Symptoms worth having checked

  • Persistent toothache or pain that wakes you at night
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • Pain when biting or releasing pressure
  • Swelling, tenderness, a bad taste or a gum abscess
  • A cracked, heavily filled or previously injured tooth

Endodontic care FAQs

Endodontic care is the area of dentistry concerned with the inside of the tooth. Root canal treatment is one possible endodontic treatment, but an assessment is needed before deciding whether it is suitable.

Not necessarily. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so the right next step may be monitoring, a filling, root canal treatment, extraction or emergency dental care.

If you have severe pain, swelling, trauma, fever, difficulty swallowing or symptoms that are getting worse, contact the practice promptly so the team can advise on appointment timing or urgent care.
