Preanesthetic Testing
We will let you know in advance if we require any preanesthetic diagnostics for patients having procedures done. While we are able to perform this in-hospital the morning of surgery, it is ideal to have the preanesthetic testing completed at your hospital prior to your patients' visits.
One of my patients just fractured a tooth this morning. Is there anything that can be done?
For a fresh fracture please call us right away! There is a very short window of time (usually within 48 hours) in which a fractured tooth with nerve exposure potentially can be saved as a living tooth when the apices are closed in adult patients. We treat these patients as emergent. After that window of time has elapsed, the tooth may still be a candidate for salvage using root canal therapy.
There is a much longer time window (up to two weeks or longer) to salvage a pulp-exposed tooth if the apex is still open in young patients.
