London Borough of Croydon, England – January 28, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Smile 4 U – Croydon has announced the availability of consultation appointments for patients requiring root canal treatment. The update reflects the practice’s provision of restorative dental care for individuals experiencing problems with infected or damaged tooth pulp. Appointments have been opened for those needing assessment for root canal procedures in the Croydon area.
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected or badly damaged. The treatment involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, then filling and sealing the space to prevent further infection. According to the announcement, root canal treatment can prevent the need for tooth extraction and allow patients to keep their natural teeth. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When this becomes infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip, it can cause severe pain and lead to abscess formation if left untreated.
The practice noted that root canal treatment is often required when tooth decay reaches the inner pulp, when a tooth suffers trauma, or when infection develops. Symptoms that may indicate the need for root canal treatment include persistent toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discolouration of the tooth, swelling and tenderness in nearby gums, or a recurring pimple on the gums. Not all teeth with these symptoms will require root canal treatment, which is why proper assessment during consultation is essential.
Smile 4 U – Croydon has confirmed that the consultation process begins with a thorough examination of the affected tooth. The dental team takes X-rays to assess the extent of infection and to view the shape of the root canals.

Consultations at Smile 4 U – Croydon include a discussion about what root canal treatment involves and what patients can expect during the procedure. The dental team explains that the treatment is typically carried out under local anaesthetic, so patients should not feel pain during the procedure. Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the complexity of the case. During the procedure, the dentist creates an opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber, removes the infected or damaged pulp, cleans and shapes the root canals, then fills them with a rubber-like material. A temporary filling is placed to close the opening, and a permanent crown or filling is usually fitted at a subsequent appointment to protect the tooth.
The practice has indicated that following root canal treatment, the tooth may feel sensitive for a few days as the surrounding tissues heal. Patients receive advice on managing any discomfort and are informed about signs of complications that would require further attention. The consultation covers aftercare instructions and the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene to protect the treated tooth. The dental team discusses the success rate of root canal treatment and explains that with proper care, a tooth that has undergone this procedure can last for many years.
