Hampshire Endodontic Study Club Virtual Meeting No 21
Endodontics AMA (Ask Me Anything)
“There’s no such thing as a silly question.” said every lecturer ever. At HantsEndo we think it will be nice to come together for a free-of-charge Zoom webinar to test that theory. Having dictated the content of the prior 20 Study Club meetings ; we want to open the floor to the audience this time.
Please join the meeting and fire any endodontic questions at us. Please ask us the endodontic related question you have always pondered but been too afraid to ask. We intend to field questions submitted / typed via the Chat function in Zoom. We will be happy for questions from the get-go and plan to answer as many as is practicable.
Being English (and afraid of awkward silences) – we will have a gentle deck of PowerPoint slides prepared as 'background music' which we hope might stimulate questions you didn’t know you had. Over the course of a few slides we aim to take the audience through our approach to everyday endodontics – in theory and in practice.
When: Wednesday 23/10/24 6.30-8.00pm. 1.5 hrs verifiable CPD.
Where: Live on Zoom. Join from anywhere in the world. I dont think you need a

April '24 Fee increase.
Dear Referrers,
Our root canal treatment fee is rising by £150 to £1000 effective 1/6/24.
This will not strike you as good news but I hope you will still feel able to support us with your
referrals. We are very grateful for them. As most of you will know first hand ; operational costs have
increased all around us and this rise will allow us to maintain the service using first rate materials
etc.
With this increase in price we will go from ‘comfortably less costly’ than comparable endodontic
services to being ‘in-line’ with comparable endodontic services.
Our root canal treatment fee is still comprehensive and will still cover consultation, treatment and
review. We charge a single fee – it is the same £1000 fee whether treatment/retreatment/surgical
treatment/ non surgical treatment etc. We have never snuck in additional fees for placing (or
removing) posts or cores etc.
Many thanks for your understanding and for your support.
Peter Raftery
PS -While I have your attention I wanted to raise a small but significant housekeeping issue we face
in relation to referring Dentists who work across two or more sites. Our software (“TDO”) does not
tell us which Practice you are referring a case from and so we often have to guess where to send the
post op letter. We cannot ‘call to check’ each and every time. Clearly this leads to occasional
instances where your ‘other’ practice will email us to say “This patient isn’t registered here”.
For those Referrer’s who work across multiple sites – please remember let us know from which
practice you are referring from. Many thanks
PPS- Are you taking the opportunity to view additional clinical images we often publish alongside
your post-op radiographs on your TDO portal ? If not ; please ask us how.

Feb '23 We want you!
Did you know that for years we have welcomed General Dentists to come and spend half a day with us 'shadowing'? If you would like to spend some time watching and asking all things endo - please get in touch. We charge a small fee (£50) which we donate to charity. We are able to host dentists in either our Havant or Winchester sites. If you want to see a specific procedure (surgery/hot pulp/ fractiured file removal/retreatment/pulp therapy ) please say and we'll tailor the day to suit.
Dec -22 - Price rise. All new consultation from 01/23 will be discussed based on a fee of £850 in both Havant and Winchester branches. Our websire prices have been changed to reflect this Dentists are being informed too to try to ensure this information gets to as many patients as possible prior to any consultation visits.

March 2022 -During our first year in Winchester we operated out of a local colleague's lovely Practice in Upper High Street. More recently in May '22 we have moved to our own premises in Southgate Street - opposite Hoteldu Vin. We are now able to offer more appointment slots per week to Winchester patients. We have our own CBCT scanner on site. At present Havant is operational four days a week (Mo,Tu,We,Fri) and Winchester is for two (We, Th).
