When to refer to a specialist endodontist
When in doubt, call us — we are always happy to discuss a case before you refer. Below are the most common indications for specialist referral:
- Curved, calcified, or complex root canal anatomy that is beyond your comfortable scope of practice
- Previous root canal treatment that has failed or is not healing — persistent symptoms or an enlarging periapical radiolucency
- Suspected missed or untreated canals contributing to treatment failure
- Fractured endodontic instrument lodged in the canal — particularly at or near the apex
- Root canal perforation — strip, furcation, or access perforation requiring specialist repair
- Suspected vertical root fracture — diagnosis requiring operating microscope and CBCT confirmation
- Dental trauma — avulsion, luxation injury, root fracture, or complicated crown fracture with pulp exposure
- Any case where you are uncertain about the diagnosis or prognosis — a phone discussion takes two minutes and we are always available
Our commitment to referring dentists
Electronic reports — same day
A consultation report with operating microscope photographs is sent electronically after every patient appointment — so you always know exactly what we found and what we did.
Open communication — always
Call us any time to discuss a case before, during, or after referral. We treat every referral as a collaboration between colleagues, not a handover.
Your patient returned to you
Your patient is returned to your care for final restoration after endodontic treatment is complete. We work alongside you — not instead of you.
