Contact Endodontist Melton Mowbray
Book an appointment online, or call the practice to ask about a tooth that is worrying you. If you are in pain, say so when you call so that you can be seen as soon as possible.
What to mention when you call
Which tooth or side is painful, how long it has been troubling you, what makes it worse and whether your dentist has seen it or taken X-rays recently. If you have been referred, tell us your dentist's name so that we can keep them informed. If dental treatment makes you anxious, say so — we will plan your visit around it.
Why we prefer a call
A brief conversation tells us what a form cannot: how urgent the problem is, whether the tooth has been treated before and how long an appointment you will need. It also means you receive an answer straight away.
Before your visit
- Bring a note of your medication 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
- Avoid eating on that side until the numbness has worn off (two to four hours)
In pain now?
- Say your symptoms are urgent when you call — see emergency root canal care
- A swelling that is spreading fast, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or feeling very unwell needs medical help now: NHS 111 or A&E
- A knocked-out adult tooth should be replanted or kept in milk and seen within the hour — see dental injuries
