About Medications
If you have been advised by your physician or dentist to use antibiotic premedication because of mitral valve prolapse (MVP), heart murmur, hip, knee, cardiac or other prosthesis, or if you have rheumatic heart disease, please make sure you are on the appropriate antibiotic on the day of your appointment. If there is a question, please call our office prior to your appointment.
If you can take ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen sodium (Aleve), it does help reduce inflammation when taken pre-operatively. We recommend 2 tablets of either medication 2-4 hours before endodontic therapy.
Before Endodontic Surgery
For any medical condition that requires modifications in your treatment a consultation with your physician may be needed.
For example, use of blood thinners or a daily dose of aspirin hinders clotting and their use may be discontinued prior to your surgery by your medical doctor.
For questions or assistance, please call your endodontic office.
