We are not an In-Network provider for dental insurance, however we are able to file claims for any non-HMO dental plans. Dental insurance is complex, and each plan is unique. If you call our office we will gladly go over any questions you have about dental insurance and our office policies regarding it (Including potential fees). Please be aware that all professional services rendered are the patient's responsibility regardless of your insurance coverage and payment is expected at the time of service.
Before your first visit we ask that you:
Click on the button above labeled "Patient Login", or click here to visit the patient portal. You will be asked for your User ID and password. This information is found in the email that was sent when you scheduled your appointment. Fill out the medical history forms.
The short answer is most likely, yes. When the nerve of a tooth is dying, it can cause extreme pain. Once the nerve has completely died, sometimes, the pain will subside. However, the tooth is still infected and the infection needs to be removed.
Yes. Antibiotics may help reduce the amount of infection, however it will never fully eliminate it. Treatment of the disease can only occur by either having root canal therapy or an extraction.
Each patient's experience is different. Mild discomfort from the treated tooth is common for 3-4 days. It is advised and recommended that you take over the counter pain medications if necessary. In rare cases, it may be necessary for us to advise you on how to care for your discomfort. If you should need help, please call our office (850-878-5131) for further advice and instructions on how to care for your tooth.
When you leave our office, you will have a temporary filling placed in the tooth, unless otherwise informed. It is imperative that you return to your general dentist's office to have the temporary filling removed and have a permanent filling placed within 30 days to provide the protection both the tooth and root canal require. Failure to replace the temporary in a timely manner can result in failure.
