Before Endodontic Treatment

Before Your Endodontic Treatment

Endodontic treatment is typically performed using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities shortly after, unless advised otherwise.

Before your visit, our team will review your medical history and explain what to expect and we will provide clear instructions to help you prepare.

Preparing for Your Appointment

Please continue taking medications for conditions such as blood pressure, diabetes, or other medical concerns as directed by your physician. If you have questions about your medications before your visit, we recommend contacting our clinic for guidance.

We suggest eating a normal meal prior to your appointment, unless instructed otherwise, to help you remain comfortable during treatment. If your physician or dentist has recommended antibiotic premedication, be sure to take it as directed.

If advised, taking an anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen before your visit may help improve comfort. If you have any questions or concerns prior to your appointment, our team is available to assist you.
