The management of patients with additional medical complexities is challenging and can cause apprehension when considering if dental treatment is able to be provided in primary care. Non-surgical endodontic treatment is generally a low-risk procedure for many patient cohorts. This paper describes commonly seen medical conditions, the impact on bleeding and infection, and where extraction would preferably be avoided. It explores the risk assessment of these conditions and provides 'hints and tips' for the provision of endodontic treatment, allowing for the safe and effective provision of dental care, in the appropriate setting, by the appropriate specialty.
