Endodontic Symptoms
Typical Symptoms
It may be a clue that you need endodontic treatment if you have dental pain or discomfort. Below, we've included a few typical signs and likely causes. Contact us right away if you have any of these symptoms.
Symptom:
Transient sensitivity to meals that are hot or cold
Possible issue: If this soreness lasts only a brief period of time, it could be a sign that the pulp of your tooth is inflamed. However, a minor bit of decay, a loose filling, or gum recession could be to blame for the sensitivity.
What to do:
Try using a de-sensitizing toothpaste if you are sensitive. If this doesn't work, get additional guidance from your regular dentist.
Symptom:
Sensitivity to hot or cold meals following dental work
Potential issue:
Dental work may irritate the pulp inside the tooth, temporarily increasing sensitivity.
What to do:
Wait a few weeks to see whether the sensitivity fades, then take action. A regular dentist should be seen if the pain continues or gets worse.
Symptom:
Acute discomfort when biting into food
Possible Problem:
This type of pain may be brought on by a number of issues, including tooth decay, a loosened filling, and perhaps even a break in the tooth. The pulp tissue inside the tooth may potentially sustain injury.
What to do:
Make an appointment with your usual dentist for a checkup as soon as possible. If you need a root canal because of pulp tissue damage, your dentist might recommend an endodontist.
Symptom:
Persistent discomfort after consuming hot or cold foods.
Possible issue:
If you are experiencing tooth pain, it most likely signifies that the pulp has been harmed by either severe decay or physical trauma.
What to do:
Visit your family dentist for more guidance, or make an appointment with an endodontist to save the tooth by having a root canal.
Symptoms include gum swelling, sensitivity to touch, and ongoing, excruciating pain.
Possible issue:
You can have an abscess that has infected the bone and tissue around it.
What to do:
Visit an endodontist for a diagnosis and therapy to ease the discomfort and save the tooth.
Symptom:
Pressure and dull pain in the upper teeth and jaw
Possible issue:
The face and teeth are frequently affected by sinus headache pain. This kind of pain can also result from the disease known as bruxism, which involves teeth grinding. What to do: We advise visiting your doctor to get relief from a sinus headache. You should speak with your dentist about bruxism. Consult an endodontist for a diagnosis if the pain is severe and ongoing.

Reviews
It is my 3rd time going to see Laura, first time Laura was so helpful, I was very nervous and worried, have had a lot of work done she always reassured me, I'm so glad I listened to her !, I have beautiful teeth and I could not be happier I didn't think it was possible to have a lovely smile ? still continuing with her, she is so lovely and caring and professional, also Sarah too and rest of girls. Thanks so much.
Dr. Laura Fee and the entire team are amazing, so friendly throughout and really reassuring! I recently had a wisdom tooth extraction under sedation and didn’t feel a thing. Everything was explained very clearly and I felt totally comfortable - would recommend this dental practice to anyone, they really do go above and beyond!
After a number of years away from the dentist I bit the bullet and went and so happy I did, Dr. Laura and her team made me feel so relaxed and they provided top-quality service. I didn't even realize the job had been done and to top it off best prices around highly recommended
Visited the clinic myself for the first time today along with my son who was having his first visit to the dentist too. We had a really great experience, Dr. Fee and all of the staff were so friendly, it was a really positive experience! My son even said he had a brilliant time, so that speaks for itself! I would highly recommend the clinic and delighted to have this service in the community!
I don't normally leave reviews but wanted to say thanks so much to Dr Laura for her great work this weekend. I'm quite a nervous patient but she had me completely at ease for my treatment this morning. Also highly recommend for children - her and the nurses were fantastic with my son and his teddy Justin Beaver! They went above and beyond in making sure he had a great experience! he's now so excited for his next six month check and I'm thrilled he won't be growing up with a fear of the dentist! Thanks again!
I couldn't recommend Dr Laura Fee & the Smile Hub Dental Clinic enough. Top class service from someone that previously had a fear of the dentist 🤜 🤛
Couldn’t recommend Dr Laura enough, amazing work done throughout the clear braces process and couldn’t be happier with the results.
My daughter had an accident late at night. When I phoned that night they were able to get her in at 07.30 the next morning. All friendly and helpful staff. Very happy with the dental work care carried out. Would highly recommend.
The team were fantastic. They saw me on Paddys Day for an emergency. Life savers and so friendly. My dentist was incredible. Thank you all!
