Before Endodontic Treatment
General information: If you are scheduled for treatment, the procedure will be performed using local anesthesia. There are usually no restrictions after an endodontic procedure concerning driving or returning to work, unless oral sedation is performed. If oral sedation (triazolam) is used, an escort is required, and the patient should not drive.
Please continue all medications for blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid problems, and/or any other conditions as recommended by your physician. If there is a question, please call our office prior to your appointment.
Please eat a full breakfast or lunch as applicable
If you have been advised by your physician or dentist to use antibiotic premedication, please do so. If there is a question, please call our office prior to your appointment.
If you can take ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen sodium (Aleve), this can help reduce inflammation when taken pre-operatively in cases of irreversible pulpits.
