Most Popular Questions Patient

Specialist Endodontist is a dentist who specialises in saving teeth.   Endodontists receive three or more years of advanced education in Endodontics following general dentistry school.   As a result of the specialist training,  endodontists are skilled in finding the cause of oral and facial pain, treating traumatic injuries to the tooth,  diagnosing cracked tooth and performing other procedures that save teeth.

As endodontists,  limiting our practice solely to endodontic treatment,  we perform routine as well as difficult and very complex procedures,  including root canal treatment,  root canal retreatment and endodontic microsurgery.   We use the most advanced technology in the field and we are therefore most efficient and precise.  This equates to positive experiences and faster healing.

We offer tremendous flexibility in accommodating emergency cases,  so delays in treatment are kept to a minimum and patients can be relieved of dental pain quickly.   We are also readily available for post-treatment questions or concerns.

A local anesthesia is used before any root canal therapy so please eat a full breakfast or lunch,  if possible as it might be difficult to eat once you are still numb after the procedure.

We like our patients to feel comfortable and relaxed.   Feel free to bring a sweater to keep you warm and headphones if you prefer to listen to your favorite music while in the dental chair.

For most patients, the feeling of numbness after local anaesthesia usually subsides after 1-4 hours. Please do not eat anything “hot or cold” or drink anything “hot” during this period.

After your root canal treatment or retreatment,  it is normal to feel some tenderness in the area over the next few days as your body undergoes the natural healing process.   It will take time to repair the irritated and inflamed tissues that support your tooth in the jawbone.   Your tooth will be tender to biting for the first few weeks and you may notice a difference in biting for even a few months. This tenderness is normal and is no cause for alarm.   Please follow below:

  • Do not eat anything or drink hot beverages until the numbness in your mouth wears off. This will prevent you from biting your cheek or tongue.
  • Do not chew or or bite on the treated tooth until you have had it restored by your dentist.  
  • Be sure to brush and floss your teeth as you normally would.
  • Please contact your dentist as soon as you are in no pain to have the final restoration done on the treated tooth.

Contact our practice right away if you develop any of the following:

  • swelling inside or outside of your mouth;
  • an allergic reaction to medication, normally indicated by rash, hives or itching (nausea is not an allergic reaction);
  • a return of original symptoms; or
  • your bite feels uneven.

For most patients, the feeling of numbness after local anaesthesia usually subsides after 1-4 hours.   Do not eat anything or drink hot beverages until the numbness in your mouth wears off.

Please note that there is a small risk of pain and discomfort which can probably controlled with pain killers.

To control swelling,  use an ice bag over the surgical area.   Alternate keeping the ice bag on the site for 15 minutes,  then off for 15 minutes.   Keep alternating with the ice bag for the first 6 –8 hours after surgery.

Do not raise your lip to examine the surgical site for at least 24 hours.   This can tear the very thin sutures.   Please leave them alone.

Brush normally but gently,  and only use electrical toothbrush on the surgical area from the third day after the surgical procedure day.   From the third day after the surgical procedure day you can use your mouthwash (corsodyl) twice a day for at least two days after having the sutures removed to clean the surgical area. Alternatively,  you can use hot salt mouthwashes (1 teaspoon of salt dissolved into a glass of warm water) every 3-4 hours until the sutures are removed to improve healing.

Maintain a soft nutritious diet.   Avoid eating on the surgical area for two days.   Be sure to drink large amounts of liquids.

The following are expected and should cause no concern:

Slight oozing of blood for 24-36 hours.

Swelling within 24 hours, and may come and go over the course of a few days.

Mild discomfort.

Discoloration or bruising of the skin.

Do not participate in athletic activity for the first day.

Keep your post-op appointment to have the sutures removed.

Should any difficulties or questions arise,   please do not hesitate to call the practice at any time at 023 9275 4333.

When your root canal therapy has been completed,  a record of your treatment will be sent to the dentist who referred you.   We advise you return to your general dentist between two to six weeks after your root canal treatment/retreatment is completed to have your final restoration done unless advised differently by us.   This amount of time will allow most of your tenderness to subside before having further procedures done on your tooth.   If your tooth does not get the necessary final restoration (crown or filling) and the temporary filling wears out,  the root canal will become infected and need retreatment,  microsurgery or extraction.

 The final restoration is either a filling or a crown and will be placed to protect your tooth from fracture and further contamination and restore your tooth to its full function.   As the unrestored tooth is susceptible to fracture,  please do not chew or bite on the treated tooth until you have it restored by your dentist.

When your surgical procedure has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to the dentist who referred you.   We advise you return to your general dentist for routine appointments.

We know that many patients have a very high level of dental fear and anxiety when it comes to root canal treatment.   The goal of our practice is to minimize discomfort and anxiety,  allowing fearful patients to receive the care they need.   Our team is specially trained to take care of individuals who need the extra care and attention.

Most Popular Questions Procedures

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

A root canal treatment is needed when the soft tissue located in a canal inside the root of a tooth,  known as the pulp, experiences inflammation or infection.   The pulp is like the “heart of the tooth” and it contains blood vessels, nerves and soft tissues. The anatomy inside of a tooth is very complex and most of the times a single tooth presents more than one canal. 

Inflammation or infection can occur as a result of several things including deep decay,  repeated dental procedures,  faulty fillings or crowns, or trauma to the tooth.   Your dentist will search for signs,  symptoms or abnormality in the radiography prior to refer you to a root canal specialist (Specialist Endodontist).   Signs of pulp damage include pain,  prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold,  discolouration of the tooth,  and swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums.   However,  sometimes you may not experience any symptoms but still be in need of endodontic treatment and if left untreated,  it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.

Specialist Endodontist is a dentist who specialises in saving teeth.   Endodontists receive three or more years of advanced education in Endodontics following general dentistry school.  As a result of the specialist training, endodontists are skilled in finding the cause of oral and facial pain,  treating traumatic injuries to the tooth,  diagnosing cracked tooth and performing other procedures that save teeth.

We offer tremendous flexibility in accommodating emergency cases,  so delays in treatment are kept to a minimum and patients can be relieved of dental pain quickly.   We are also readily available for post-treatment questions or concerns.

Endodontic treatment usually can be completed in one appointment,  depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances.   We use local anesthesia in your tooth area and only start the treatment when we are sure you are fully numb.   A non-latex protective shield called dental rubber dam is placed to isolate your tooth to keep it clean and dry during the procedure,  avoiding further contamination.   An opening in the crown is made and with the help of a dental microscope we locate the canals,  remove the infected or dental pulp,  clean, shape and disinfect the canals.   The canals are then filled with a biocompatible material and a temporary filling is placed over the access opening to protect your roots from being exposed or contaminated until you return to your general dentist for your final restoration.

A local anaesthesia is used and we also take every measure to ensure that your procedure is in no way uncomfortable or painful.   For most patients,  the feeling of numbness usually subsides after 2-3 hours.   It is normal for teeth to be sore for a few days after root canal treatment.   Some teeth,  particularly ones that have been problematic for a while,  may take a few months to settle.   This discomfort is normally from the inflamed supporting tissues.

When your root canal therapy has been completed,  a record of your treatment will be sent to the dentist who referred you.   We advise you return to your general dentist between two to six weeks after your root canal treatment is completed to have your final restoration done unless advised differently by us. This amount of time will allow most of your tenderness to subside before having further procedures done on your tooth.   If your tooth does not get the necessary final restoration (crown or filling) and the temporary filling wears out,  the root canal will become infected and need retreatment,  microsurgery or extraction.

ROOT CANAL RETREATMENT

A root canal retreatment is needed when the tooth does not heal as expected after initial root canal treatment.   Occasionally, the tooth can become painful or diseased months or even years after successful root canal therapy.   If your tooth has not healed or has developed new problems,  you have a second chance at saving your tooth through the root canal retreatment.

As with any dental or medical procedures, occasionally,  a tooth may fail to heal following the initial treatment for several reasons:  the final restoration was delayed following endodontic treatment;  narrow or curved canals were not treated in full during the first treatment;  complicated canal anatomy went undetected in the first treatment;  the placement of the crown or other restoration was delayed following the endodontic treatment;  the restoration did not prevent salivary contamination to the inside of the tooth (human saliva is full of bacteria that can cause disease if they find their way into the root canal system).   In addition,  new decay or fracture in the tooth,  defective crown or delay in fitting the crown after primary root treatment can expose the tooth to new infection. 

Advancements are constantly changing the way root canal treatment is performed,  so together with our expertise we use new technologies and techniques that were probably not available when you had the first root canal treatment.

In many cases, complex restorative materials like crowns and posts must be disassembled and removed to permit access to the root canals.   After removing the canal filling, a search for any additional canal,  hidden fracture or unusual anatomy that requires treatment is thoroughly done before cleaning,  shaping and disinfecting the canals.  The canals are then filled with a biocompatible material and a temporary filling is placed over the access opening to protect your roots from being exposed or contaminated until you return to your general dentist for your final restoration.

ENDODONTIC MICROSURGERY (APICECTOMY)

Endodontic microsurgery is needed when the tooth does not heal as expected after initial root canal treatment or root canal retreatment.   In some cases,  root canal treatment is insufficient to save your tooth.  In such a situation,  your endodontist may recommend alternative strategies, which may include endodontic microsurgery.   The endodontic microsurgery is a surgical procedure performed under microscope. As with any dental or medical procedures, occasionally,  a tooth may fail to heal following the initial treatment for several reasons.   There are several situations in which endodontic surgery can help save your tooth where normal root canal therapy would be lacking:

  • Surgery may be used for extensive diagnosis. Some patients have recurring symptoms, but no visible problems appear on their X-rays.   These cases can sometimes indicate a tiny fracture or break in the tooth structure or root that could not be detected during nonsurgical treatment.   In such a case,  endodontic microsurgery can give your endodontist a chance to thoroughly examine the tooth’s structure without relying on X-rays,  find the problem and provide treatment.
  • In some cases, calcium deposits make a canal too narrow for the cleaning and shaping instruments used in nonsurgical root canal treatment to reach the end of the root of the tooth. In this case,  when there is a “calcification”,  endodontic microsurgery would be needed for your tooth to be completely cleaned and sealed.
  • In some cases, a tooth may fail to heal after successful root canal treatment or retreatment. Symptoms or problems may persist, or reoccur later  –  possibly months or even years after the original procedure.   In these cases,  endodontic microsurgery can still be an option in order to save the remaining tooth.
  • If the tooth disease has spread to the surface of the tooth root or if an infection has spread into the surrounding bone, endodontic microsurgery may be required to treat these areas.

The most common type of endodontic surgery is called apicectomy,  or “root-end resection”.  When the tooth’s infection or inflammation spreads to the bone area around the tip of the tooth’s root after a root canal treatment or retreatment,  an apicectomy may be needed.

As with any dental or medical procedures, occasionally,  a tooth may fail to heal following the initial treatment for several reasons:  the final restoration was delayed following endodontic treatment;  narrow or curved canals were not treated in full during the first treatment;  complicated canal anatomy went undetected in the first treatment;  the placement of the crown or other restoration was delayed following the endodontic treatment;  the restoration did not prevent salivary contamination to the inside of the tooth (human saliva is full of bacteria that can cause disease if they find their way into the root canal system).   In addition,  new decay or fracture in the tooth,  defective crown or delay in fitting the crown after primary root treatment can expose the tooth to new infection.

We use local anesthesia in your tooth area and only start the treatment when we are sure you are fully numb.   With the help of a dental microscope we locate the underlying bone through a window in the gum near the area and remove any inflamed and infected tissue.   The very end of the root is also removed.   A small filling may be placed to seal the end of the root canal to prevent it from attracting more infection,  this is termed “retrofilling”,  and a few stiches or suture are placed in the gum to help the tissue to heal properly.   Over the course of the next few months,  the existing bone tissue will gradually grow back in to replace the removed infected tissue.   Most patients are able to return to their normal routine as early as the day after their surgery.

In many cases,  the only alternative to endodontic surgery is the removal (or extraction) of the tooth.   After this procedure,  the tooth must be replaced with an artificial replacement  –  an implant,  bridge or denture  –  to restore the tooth’s function and to prevent the surrounding teeth from moving.   These alternatives usually require surgery or procedures on adjacent healthy teeth,  which means that endodontic surgery is not only cost-effective,  it is the most natural treatment for maintaining your oral health.

A local anaesthesia is used and we also take every measure to ensure that your procedure is in no way uncomfortable or painful.   For most patients, the feeling of numbness usually subsides after 2-3 hours.  It is normal for area to be sore for a few days after the surgical procedure or even for a slight swelling to occur while the incision heals.   We will discuss everything with you in your consultation prior to the surgery.   A Post-operative instructions will also be given to you together with a prescription of pain medication to alleviate the discomfort.

When your surgical procedure has been completed,  a record of your treatment will be sent to the dentist who referred you.   We advise you return to your general dentist for routine appointments.

WHY CHOOSE US

My own Dentist's glowing recommendation to ask Dani Mancusa to carry out my root canal treatment was well founded. I felt immediately reassured in the clinic that I was in good hands. S.P.
What a super practise - very efficient, friendly and communicative from start to finish. I was hugely nervous but was treated with the utmost kindness from the minute I entered the practise till the moment I left! M.k.
I was very nervous of having root canal treatment but I can honestly say that it was fine. I was incredibly well looked after, there was no pain and everything was very calm and controlled, so I felt reassured and in safe hands throughout. C.L
To say I was nervous of having a root canal done is an understatement. I’ve had such terrible dental experiences in the past and I’d heard root canals were pretty painful. However, this was the best dental experience I’ve ever had! Great central location and parking was easy. K.S.

I was extremely nervous about the root canal procedure having had a prolonged and painful experience in the past with infections. My experience at this clinic was very different. I was made to feel welcome and relaxed, the two ladies (one a nurse and one receptionist) were very kind and reassuring. The whole procedure went well and the dentist talked to me about the procedure before starting. It was worth going ahead to save my tooth. It was an intense experience for that hour and a half but throughout the dentist made sure I was comfortable and properly anaesthised. I was very impressed with the clinic and would definitely recommend it.

I was incredibly nervous at the thought of a root canal filling,having heard many tales of the pain and discomfort of this treatment. I have to say,although obviously not pleasant,the whole experience was 100% better than I thought! Do not worry about attending this clinic,everyone was very calm and professional.

I was referred to the centre by my own dentist and attended last week for root canal treatment. I wasn't sure what to expect, but Cristina and her nurse were both very professional, efficient and kind. It was a long time in the chair (2 hours), but I felt safe and Cristina kept updating me on what was happening. I would recommend.

I visited the centre today for a root canal treatment after being referred by my dentist. The dentist carefully explained the CT scan results and made some suggestions for further treatment by my dentist. The root canal treatment that was carried out at the centre today was painless and the staff were kind and professional throughout. Thank you so much.

I award a five start!! I could not recommend this practice more; from the warmest welcome to the highest tech equipment alongside Dr da Silva expertise, my latest experience left me feeling that I have received the best treatment possible. The surgery is super clean and it has a lovely modern style , the environment was very serene with calm ambience music. I did not feel at any point rushed or confused about what procedure it has to be done . For every step the nurse and Dr Vanderley explained to me in simple terms what was going to happen and gave me options all along the way. I am a very nervous patient and have had a bad experience in the past from a different dental practice , I was recommended to the Specialist Endodontic Centre by a friend and I could have not made a better choice , it made my two hours journey totally worth it. Thank you the Specialist Endodontic Centre and its wonderful team.sheyla Johnson .

Root canal treatment can be very tricky; I was sent to the Endontic Centre by my regular dentist after he attempted the work himself, but he did not have the specialist equipment necessary to carry out this treatment successfully on a calcified tooth.It took two attempts at the centre to carry out my surgery, and completely remove the site of infection which would have resulted in tooth loss had it not been cleared and plugged.A follow up scan after the first, temporary treatment, revealed a pathway to the root canal in my tooth, which sits in my gum at a slightly awkward angle.This is a practice, which like my regular dental practitioner will do everything they can to save a tooth.I was treated with kindness and courtesy throughout.A detailed explanation of the procedure was given both times.I was put at my ease.Spending an hour with my mouth open was obviously not comfortable but there was no pain and I was informed of progress at key points. Additional x rays were taken during the procedure.This was a very thorough process carried out by a highly skilled practitioner, Reza - ably assisted by the Dental Nurse Karen. The reception team, it was Sarah today, are also friendly and courteousMy thanks to the team. I recommend this practice without hesitation or reservation.

Best extraction I've had! :-D. I needed a specialist molar extaction from an Oral Surgeon due to curved roots that were embedded in the nerve. I was dreading it but Karin and her assistant were so lovely and very sensitive. Karin performed the procedure very skillfully and after having traumatic procedures in the past this was not bad at all. The practice were also proactive in making sure I had enough medicine and a backup prescription for the coming days which had been a concern as I would be working away. Price was reasonable and money well spent compared to the 14 month NHS wait. Thank you everyone.

If you are feeling nervous about having your dental treatment, be reassured that you could not go to a better place. Sarah gives you a warm and friendly welcome. Don't worry if you've had to travel to the appointment - they give you time to use the lovely clean bathroom on your way to the treatment room! Dani and her assistant, Nikki, worked perfectly as a team. Both were very good at checking that I was OK. Very calm, professional and reassuring atmosphere. They will look after you very well! Thank you to all the team for being so kind.

Absolutely Amazing!I was ready to dedicate a week of crying my eyes out to mentally prepare for my procedure but the reviews left by past clients left me feeling confident that I was in capable hands.Sarah was so reassuring over the phone and provided me with all the comfort and information I needed before booking my appointment.Dani was unbelievably gentle, my proceedure was painless even though my decay was horrendous.Nikki is the sweetest nurse who could tell how worried I was and was ready to sacrifice her hand and even threw in a stress ball for me.Thank you everyone for looking after me and making my fear and comfort a priority.

This was my first attendance at the SE Centre following which I have no hesitation in commending the staff there for their courtesy, care, professionalism and consideration.I was give prompt attention and received my treatment in a thoroughly professional manner that took into account any questions or concerns I may have had whether or not they were peripheral to or centred upon the actual treatment.The need for dental work normally arises as a matter of necessity and is rarely a pleasure but in so far as it could be, this most certainly was!

After a week of being in pain, I had my re-root canal with this lovely centre, I'm not surprised now anymore about all the positive reviews here.I had No pain at all during the procedure and even 5 hours later I still have no pain even without a painkiller. Lovely welcoming people, patient dentist and a kind nurse, really up to date tools and equipment! What else should I looking for?

I recently had my 3rd vist to Specialist Endodontic Centre in Southsea, and I would never go anywhere else...Over the last few years I have needed three root canal procedures and I was originally referred in 2017 to Specialist Endodontic Centre by my dentist. I imagine that most people have concerns when requiring dental work and root canal work is likely to raise the concerns even further.My first discussion was with Sarah, the Practice Manager — she has a vast knowledge and was very reassuring. My Endodonist is Dani and she is clearly an expert in her field. Her patience and obvious skills are very reassuring and with all three procedures I have never been anything other than extremely impressed and totally relaxed for the duration of the visit. I will never have any apprehensions regarding root canal work in future, and I have Dani to thank for that.Dani doesn't rush the procedure and she has a very calming, reassuring and caring manner, regularly asking that you are okay and quietly discussing every stage with her Dental Nurse who works closely alongside her at all times. I can honestly say that throughout the whole process I never once felt concerned and was surprised just how relaxed I did feel.My first treatment with Dani was about 5 years ago and those two teeth are still absolutely fine today. My latest appointment was yesterday (14th September 2022), and in fact I self-referred myself on this occasion by contacting Sarah initially who discussed and liased with Dani for me — and we then arranged my appointment within less than two weeks.Dani has definitely saved three of my teeth which otherwise would have been extracted, so I am very grateful indeed and have admiration for Dani's expert skills and wonderfully reassuring manner while she is working on my teeth.I can wholeheartedly recommend Dani and her wonderful team at "Specialist Endodontic Centre". Even though I have to travel a fair distance it's worth every mile to ensure faultess dental work.Alan

Having been referred by my own dentist to SEC for root canal treatment, I arrived at 9am. I was greeted by friendly staff and then met Dani and her assistant. The X-ray machine was the fanciest I'd ever seen! Procedures were clearly explained, then into the chair for the injections and the treatment. I have to say that at no point during the treatment did I feel or experience any pain or discomfort - the very slight momentary 'sting' from the last injection into the roof of the mouth was the only sensation. The procedure took the best part of an hour and throughout I was 'checked I was OK' and was allowed to rest and close my mouth a bit during the various stages. After completion, I was shown the 'before and after' X-rays and the filled canals.As I type this 24 hours after my visit, I have had no post-treatment pain, have needed no pain-killers and am only vaguely aware that I've had a procedure.It is so good (and reassuring!) to see and feel an expert at work and this was a very comfortable and professional experience for what has always been portrayed as one of the worst things to go through.Thank you Dani and your teamBest wishesSimon Watts

I was hugely nervous but was treated with the utmost kindness from the minute I entered the practise till the moment I left! All the staff were very keen for me to have a pleasant and pain free experience and that is exactly what I had. Never usually keen to have dental treatment, I’d return willingly and have my whole mouth renovated if I could! A super experience - thank you to all. 😃
