Ask: Ask your dentist to be referred to a specialist. Don't know what treatment you need.

Just go: If you have dmo insurance just ask your dentist for a referral. If you have traditional dental insurance or no insurance, the formality of a referral is not necessary. You can ask your dentist for a recommendation, or just choose a specialist and call for an appointment.
