A typical diagnostic or evaluation appointment with Dr. MacIntyre begins with completing paperwork, which includes your medical history and consent forms. You can download and print our personal information/ health questionnaire here. Please bring a list of all medications (over-the-counter and prescription) that you regularly/have taken within the past month. Once all forms are complete, our assistant will review and chart your chief complaint, referring dentist's information and history of the tooth pain before taking any possible x-rays of your teeth.

Once your x-rays are complete and Dr. MacIntyre has reviewed your paperwork, he will evaluate your symptoms and conduct some diagnostic tests on the tooth and adjacent teeth in question. After the tests are complete, a diagnosis will be given to determine the best treatment care and prognosis. Dr. MacIntyre will make you aware of the benefits, options and risks involved in order for you to understand how endodontic therapy can relieve your pain and save your tooth. Post-treatment decisions such as a crown or permanent restoration will be discussed and recommended.
