Before Endodontic Treatment

This procedure will be performed using local anesthesia. In most cases, you may drive and return to work afterward. A doctor is available at all times if any concerns arise after your appointment.

Continue taking all medications prescribed by your physician for blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid conditions, or any other health issues. If you are unsure about a specific medication, please contact our office before your visit.

Please eat a full breakfast or lunch, depending on the time of your appointment.

If your physician or dentist has instructed you to take antibiotics before dental procedures due to conditions such as mitral valve prolapse, heart murmurs, joint or heart prostheses, rheumatic heart disease, or similar concerns, be sure to take the prescribed medication the day of your appointment. If you have questions, please call our office beforehand.

If you can take ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve), taking two tablets 2–4 hours before your appointment may help reduce inflammation.

If you have any questions prior to your visit, please call our office at (480) 400-4112.
