What to Bring

Prior to your first appointment, it is strongly recommended to register online. Prepare for your visit with a list of all prescription and over-the-counter medications you take as well as information on your medical history.

Dr. Steve will review your X-rays and paperwork and talk with you about your symptoms at the appointment. Once the exam and required tests are completed you'll discuss treatment options including the benefits and risks associated with each option so that you can make an informed decision on how to proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a root canal painful?
With modern techniques and anesthetics, the vast majority of patients report that they are comfortable during the procedure. For the first few days following treatment, your tooth or jaw may be sensitive, especially if there was pain or infection before the procedure.

What are the benefits of root canal treatment versus extraction?
Whenever practical, saving your natural tooth is in most cases the best option. Extraction (removal) of a tooth that has a reasonable chance to be saved can lead to changes in the overall function of your bite.

What should I expect the day after treatment?
Some discomfort is normal for two to four days following root canal treatment. In some cases, the tooth and surrounding tissue may be sore for a few weeks. While uncommon, flare-ups do occur. If you experience significant pain or swelling please contact our office.
