Initial Endodontic Consultation & First Visit Information

What to Expect at Your Initial Consultation

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, treatment can be done the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.

What to Bring to Your First Appointment

• Your referral slip and any X-rays if applicable.
• A list of medications you are presently taking.
• If you have medical or 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 18 at the consultation visit.

Medical Conditions and Medications to Discuss Before Treatment

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern before 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.) or require medication before dental cleanings (i.e antibiotics, for pre-med.)

Dental X-Rays for Your Consultation

If your previous dentist has taken recent X-rays (within 6-months), you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
