The following information is designed to answer many questions you may have regarding your treatment. We want you to know about our policies and methods of practice. Please feel free to contact us at our Boston office at: 617-742-3525 or our Lynnfield office at: 781-245-8828.

Initial Consultation

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, root canal therapy can be done the same day as the consultation. It is common in our practice to see emergency patients who present with discomfort or infection. When emergencies occur, we are able to accommodate patients as soon as possible, usually on the same day. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.

Please provide the following information at the time of your consultation:

  • Your referral slip and X-rays if applicable
  • A list of medications you are presently taking
  • If you have dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save us time and allow us to help you process any claims.

IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under the age of 18 at the consultation.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (e.g. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
