Before Endodontic Treatment

This procedure will be performed using local anesthesia. There are usually no restrictions after the procedure concerning driving or returning to school or work.

Continue all medications for blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid problems and 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 for any reason, please make sure you are on the appropriate antibiotic on the day of your appointment.  If there is a question, please call our office prior to your appointment.

If you can take ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin), it does help reduce inflammation when taken pre-operatively. We recommend 2 tablets of 200mg ibuprofen 2-4 hours before endodontic therapy.

If you have any questions, please call our office at Wheeling Office Phone Number 304-233-4851
