Should you need to see our Oral Surgeon in Drogheda, your general dentist will refer you. During your consultation with the specialist, they might need to take additional X-rays or a scan of your mouth and head to determine precisely what your needs are. They will also review your medical history. It’s very important to mention all medications you take including over-the-counter products, vitamins and supplements.
