Simple Pretreatment Tips For Endodontic Patients

Endodontic treatment is a great alternative for those who have had a tooth that has become injured or diseased. Root canal therapy or endodontic care addresses the pulp or nerve inside a tooth when it has become infected or inflamed. This is often caused by everything from trauma to a fracture or decay. Whatever the injury to the tooth, endodontic treatment can help. When a tooth becomes severely damaged root canal treatment is often a better option than removing the tooth itself.

A Bridge or Implant Requires More In-Depth Surgery

Best of all, endodontic care is highly successful in helping to restore chewing functionality as well as reducing the chances of adjacent teeth shifting. As a matter of fact any time a tooth is removed most dental care providers recommend that a bridge or implant be placed so that teeth do not shift. The bridge or implant requires more in-depth surgery or dental procedures and may affect adjacent teeth in the form of requiring a crown or cap. That is why patients often turn to endodontic care as a more cost-effective and time effective way of dealing with a diseased or injured tooth.

You Should Have Your Current Insurance Information Handy

Patient’s preparing for an endodontic treatment appointment should consult with their dental care provider or endodontist regarding specifics. That said in general it is best not to change your eating habits and bring any x-rays or related information to your appointment. It is also a good idea to pre-medicate as advised by your endodontics professional prior to your appointment. You should also have your current insurance information handy as well as any other payment related issues in order. Finally, any forms that have not been filled out should be completed at home or plan to arrive early at your appointment to fill out any incomplete forms. Contact your Houston root canal specialist and Endodontist today for more information on this highly effective form of treatment.
