Evaluation VISIT

Your scheduled evaluation appointment will consist of any necessary X-rays, diagnosis and a consultation regarding your treatment options. If your treatment plan calls for a root canal, we will schedule another appointment for treatment. If you are in extreme pain, we will do our best to see you, on most occasions, the same day that you call. We will make every effort to relieve your pain through emergency treatment, and then schedule you for the necessary follow-ups.

Treatment VISIT

Your scheduled treatment appointment will also consist of any necessary X-rays and a consultation if you have not received a separate evaluation appointment. Treatment may consist of non-surgical or surical root canal therapy or emergency treatment procedures as indicated.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation and /or treatment visit:

• Your referral slip and any X-rays if applicable
• A list of medications you are presently taking

If you have dental insurance, bring your current insurance card. If you don’t have one, we will need the subscriber number, group number, and phone number. This will save time and allow us to help you in the processing of your claim.

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the evaluation or treatment visit.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to treatment (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, infective endocarditis, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).

X-Rays

If your dentist or physician has taken X-rays, please bring them with your referral or have them forwarded to our office as they may be helpful in our diagnosis. A digital radiograph can be emailed to us. Additional films are usually necessary and are taken at our office.
