How to Prepare for Your Endodontic Appointment

A little preparation before your visit goes a long way toward making your appointment smooth and comfortable. Here are a few simple things to keep in mind:

01

Eat normally before your appointment unless you have been advised otherwise. There is no need to fast before a root canal or endodontic consultation.

02

Take any regularly prescribed medications as normal unless your doctor has given you specific instructions.

03

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment if sedation or strong anesthesia is anticipated.

04

Arrange for someone to drive you if you have any concerns about how you may feel after your procedure.

05

If you are anxious about your visit, let us know when you call. Dr. Sundar and our team are experienced in caring for nervous patients and will do everything possible to put you at ease.

Common Questions From New Patients

Q: What is an endodontist?

An endodontist is a dental specialist with advanced training focused on diagnosing and treating conditions inside the tooth, primarily root canals, retreatment, and dental trauma. Dr. Sundar completed a Master of Science in Endodontics in addition to her dental degree, making her a specialist in this focused area of care.

Q: Is a root canal painful?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable modern root canal therapy is. Dr. Sundar uses precise local anesthesia to ensure you feel little to nothing during the procedure. Any mild soreness afterward typically resolves within a few days and is easily managed.

Q: What is endodontic retreatment?

Endodontic retreatment is performed when a previously treated root canal has not healed properly or has become reinfected. Dr. Sundar carefully removes the original filling material, re-cleans the canal system, and reseals the tooth to restore long term health.

Q: Do you accept dental insurance?

Yes. We accept most major dental insurance plans and are happy to help verify your benefits before your appointment. Visit our Insurance page for the full list of accepted plans or call our office to confirm your specific coverage.
