How many visits will it take?

Often one or two, depending on the tooth, the number of canals and whether there is active infection. Molars generally take longer than front teeth.

Why do I need a crown afterwards?

A tooth that has had a root canal has lost internal structure and its blood supply, which makes it more likely to fracture. A crown holds it together.

Is extraction cheaper?

In the short term, usually. But replacing a missing tooth later — with a bridge or an implant — costs more than keeping the natural one. Keeping the tooth is almost always the better long-term decision when it is possible.

Positive dental visits from the start

Children’s dentistry is about more than treating a tooth. It is about helping a child feel comfortable, guiding brushing and diet, monitoring development and finding small problems before they become urgent.

Prevention that fits real life

Small habits are easier to build when the advice is practical. We talk through brushing, snacks, thumb-sucking, mouth breathing and the signs that deserve an earlier appointment.

Common questions

Before you book

An early introduction is useful, especially when the first teeth appear or when a parent notices a concern. The first visit can be short and simply about becoming familiar.

That is common. We slow the appointment down, explain each step and let the child become comfortable before asking them to do more.

They do. Baby teeth help with eating, speech and the space needed for adult teeth, so pain or decay should not simply be ignored.

Next step

Good care starts with a clear conversation.
