Hi Richard, Well I have now removed the UR4 (a horrible slanting fractured tip was tricky to remove) and you’ll be glad to hear that the sinus between UR3 and UR2 has gone confirming your diagnosis! Great pictures from your Clever Bit of Computer Technology (CBCT for short!). Thank you from both of us and thought you would like to know!
Hi Richard, Great suggestion. I had already retracted under LA with no success – I should have thought a little more laterally! I will make contact with this gentleman for a small flap to investigate further. Many thanks
...it was all painless and a pleasure. No untoward after-effects and tell him I was terribly offended by those ‘Curb your Enthusiasm’ videos so will have to watch another one to reinforce my indignation.
Thank you very much indeed for such detailed consultation and very impressive report. My apologies for the delay in response and treatment. I really appreciate the great effort and time you took to describe every single tooth in such details. I have found your explanation very clear, reasoned, with a huge level of accuracy and expertise.
Dear Richard: to add to your store of post-operative experience I would like to say that everything is absolutely perfect! No discomfort, no pain, just a feeling that the tooth is secure, happy, and as it has not been for many months! Many many thanks for your skill from a very satisfied patient!
Dear Richard, Thank you for the report. Very helpful in the managing process for this slightly confusing situation. Appreciated.
Richard you are absolutely fantastic. Thanks for the yellow arrow in case I overlooked MB2 in my interpretation of the scan. Very grateful.
All feeling pretty sound too. I have already seen the pix and will pass on a further view. The view in my shaving mirror is enough for me. Thanks to Richard for making it all …well, not a pleasure of course, but as painless as it possibly could be. I must put on the record that I did actually fall asleep in the chair. It’s v satisfying that such a long-standing source of infection is banished from my face. Thank you.
My name is Anne, a GDP colleague of BP. She tells me you are the endo guru. Praise indeed especially given that she is my endo guru! Anyway, sadly, I need a CBCT scan and report of my own tooth. Thanks.
Dear Joanne, Many thanks for your copy email – and I report that I am completely without pain or apparent symptoms of any kind – so well done Mr Kahan, ably assisted by Larry David! I did not use Mr Kahan’s prescription for antibiotics at all – nor any painkillers afterwards actually. Please give him my compliments – and Happy New Year to you both. Regards
Hi Joanne, The tooth is a little sensitive when I bite. Nothing I don’t expect to settle down over the next 24 hours or so though. Whilst I can’t say that having a root canal treatment would make my top 50 things to do before you die list, my overall experience was excellent. Please tell Richard I said thank you
Dear Joanne, Please pass on my thanks to Mr Kahan for an experience which proved very interesting and in fact strangely enjoyable. Best wishes
Dear Richard, Great images!! Many thanks for seeing him and for the usual comprehensive report. I’ll get in touch with him and let him know that it has to go – at least he has enough bone palatal to the root for an implant. Cheers.
Dear Jo, Many thanks for copying me in on Richard’s report to Tony, and for your concern. My tooth is feeling quite fine now. I took ibuprofen over last weekend and one on Monday as it was a bit worrisome, but since then it’s been pain free. I’m still being a little cautious in what I chew on that side, but other than that nothing to report. Richard did a great job; the most ‘comfortable’ root canal work in London I reckon!
Dear Richard, Many thanks for this exceptional work! An amazing result in view of the particular and unusual anatomy of this tooth. Kind regards
Dear Richard, Many thanks for the work you did on my tooth last Friday. It has given me no pain or trouble at all, which is great … except that I now need to find a way to watch to the last 10 minutes of Argo! Also, Joanne, you were so super-efficient and charming – thanks! Best wishes
