Before Endodontic Treatment

We developed the following list to assist you as you prepare for your appointment:

• Please fill out our patient registration form before your appointment.
• Please call our office at least 24hrs prior to your visit and give us the names of ANY medications that you may be taking. By having this information in advance we will be able to research possible interactions between the medications you currently take and any that we may give you. Having this information prior to your visit will save you wasted time in the dental chair.
• Please ensure that you have your current insurance information before your appointment.
• Pre-medicate, if you normally do, before dental appointments.
• Eat regular meals before your appointment.
• If you are given X-rays or a referral card by your general dentist, please bring them to your appointment.
• Please contact our office for any questions about payment requirements before your appointment.
• If you can take Ibuprofen (Advil), it does help reduce inflammation if taken pre-operatively. We recommended 2 tablets (400mg) be taken 2-4 hours before endodontic therapy for those patients who: are able to comfortably take it, who have no history of allergic reaction to it, and who are not taking medications that may interact with it.
