What is an endodontist?
Root Canal Specialist
An endodontist is a dentist who has completed further training to specialise in diagnosis of dental pain and root canal treatment. While a root canal can be performed by a general dentist, there are situations when they might decide it is in the best interest of the patient to refer them onto a specialist endodontist. Dr Aggarwala is a qualified specialist endodontist who works in collaboration with your dentist and/or other treating health professionals to ensure you achieve the best outcomes.
Appointment Information
What to expect for your treatment
Appointment Information
During your first visit with us, we obtain a thorough medical and dental history, take some x-rays of your tooth/teeth, and carry out some tests to establish an accurate diagnosis. In some cases, we may recommend a three-dimensional scan, called a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, of your tooth or surrounding structures to aid in reaching a diagnosis. This helps us to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to you. We will discuss the different options that are available to you including the associated costs.
It is important that you bring the following to your consultation to assist us in looking after you:
- Referral letter from your dentist or treating health practitioner
- A list of any medications you may be taking
- Any other supporting information such as x-rays if available
- Information on private health insurance if available
We understand dental treatment can cause some level of anxiety for most patients. Here at Focus Endodontics, we feel it is important that you have a good understanding from the moment you walk in so you can feel reassured that you are receiving the very best and most pain-free care that is most appropriate for you. We encourage you to ask any questions you might have so you feel relaxed about your upcoming procedure.
You should be able to drive yourself home, however if you are worried or nervous then you are welcome to bring a family member or friend along for support. All children under 18 should have a parent or guardian present.
Should you wish to cancel or move your appointment, we ask that you give us at least 24 hours’ notice.
Our friendly team look forward to seeing you soon.
