During the consultation, you should ask the endodontist questions. This is very important as this type of appointment is one that allows them to understand more about what the patient needs to achieve great oral health. The questions you should ask during this consultation are:

Is a root canal procedure necessary?
Yes, this procedure is necessary when there is an infection inside the tooth. If the pulp inside the tooth is infected, then this type of infection needs to be treated to save the tooth. If this infection does not heal by itself, then it will need to be treated by a dental professional to remove the infection. If this is left untreated, the tooth will be lost.

What pain management options are offered?
As with most dental procedures, there is a list of things that dental patients should do before they undergo a particular dental procedure.

What should I do before the procedure?
With most dental procedures, there is a list of things that a patient should do and not do before undergoing the procedure. For example, eating a healthy meal and getting plenty of rest. What you should not do is eat and drink heavily.

When choosing an endodontist, you should consider the following:

• What types of surgical technology and equipment does the office have? Our office here at Ideal Endodontics is equipped with the latest technology in the field of endodontics.
• What medication or pain-relief options are available?
• What is the cost of treatment, and does dental insurance accept or offer third-party financing options?
• Do they belong to any professional dental societies? Do you teach at any dental schools?
• Does the endodontist have a reasonable bedside manner and is the office staff friendly, helpful, and professional?
• What are the office hours and do they work with your schedule, and so, is the location convenient for you? Emergencies can happen unexpectedly. What are the official policies and procedures in case of an emergency?
