Initial Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Endodontic treatment can be done the same day as the consultation if requested. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day. Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
-
Your endodntic referral slip and any X-rays if applicable (PLEASE NOTE: We will need to take our own X-rays in order to provide you with a comprehensive diagnosis)
-
A list of medications you are presently taking
-
If you have dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under the age of 18 years of age at the consultation visit.
A pre-operative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink 8 hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
