Medications

Some dental procedures, such as tooth extractions and oral surgery, may call for our office to prescribe medications before or after a procedure. These medications are used to prevent or fight an infection, or to relieve any post-operative discomfort and pain.

For these reasons, it is extremely important that you share your entire medical history - including any medications you are currently taking - with our office. Some medications used in dentistry, and other medical practices, could interact with those medications in a detrimental way.  In addition, if you have any allergic reactions to certain medications, it is important for our office to know beforehand.

Finally, if you are prescribed any medication by our office, follow the dosage instructions very carefully, and if instructed, finish your entire prescription even if you are no longer feeling pain.

MEET YOUR DOCTOR

Vijaya Canakala, DMD

Dr.  Canakala graduated from Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine in 2006.  She worked in Private practice in Massachusetts for over nine years before she moved to Connecticut.

Dr. Canakala’s practice philosophy is to help restore and maintain good oral health for all her patients by providing excellent dental care in a gentle and compassionate way.  She strongly believes in continuing education and training, and she will continue to make it a top priority in her practice.  She gained extensive knowledge in not only general dentistry but expanded her skillset in aesthetic procedures and implant restorations in her practice.

Dr. Canakala is a member of American Dental Association (ADA), Connecticut State Dental Association (CSDA) and Middlesex County Dental Society.
