First Visit
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Many times, treatment will be done the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plans involving endodontic retreatment or surgery will require an initial evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your referral slip and any X-rays if applicable.
- A list of medications you are presently taking.
- If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e antibiotics, for pre-med.)
X-Rays
If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 6-months), you may request that they forward them to our office. We routinely take x-rays as a part of our diagnosis. At Cary Endodontics, we have the latest in digital radiography equipment requiring the least amount of radiation possible.
