Book an appointment — Endodontist Northampton
A consultation, a question about a tooth or urgent help with pain: 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.
Useful things to tell us
Which tooth or side is bothering you, how long it has been going on, what triggers the pain 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 loop. If the dentist frightens you, say so — the appointment is planned accordingly, and sedation can be discussed at your consultation.
Pain that cannot wait
Severe or throbbing pain, a swelling and a tooth you cannot bite on are given priority. 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 urgent root canal appointments page explains what helps in the meantime.
Before you arrive
- 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)
