Our endodontist uses digital x-rays, a clinical exam, and your personal history to evaluate the source of your tooth pain. We use this information to make an accurate diagnosis and discuss treatment options to fix your problem. Pro Tip: Remember not to take any pain medication like ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) or non-routine anti-anxiety medicine like (Xanax, Halcion, or Valium) prior to your appointment because it will make it harder to locate the problem. Please take any other daily medication that your primary care physician prescribed for you.
