Why choose an Endodontist?

Check out our website: www.drchoby.com 

Many have wondered "why choose an Endodontist for my root canal treatment?" Below are a few reasons why:


REASON 1: EXPERIENCE
On average, Endodontists perform nearly 25 root canal treatments a week, while general dentists perform less than two.

REASON 2: EFFICIENCY

Because they limit their practice solely to endodontic treatment, endodontists are efficient and precise. This equates to positive experiences and faster healing.

REASON 3: AVAILABILITY

Most endodontists offer tremendous flexibility in accommodating emergency cases, so delays in treatment are kept to a minimum and patients can be relieved of dental pain quickly.

REASON 4: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Many endodontists use state-of-the-art technology such as operating microscopes, digital imaging, ultrasonic instrumentation and fiber optics, to treat their patients quickly and comfortably. In our office, we even have a CBCT scanner to help us with our most difficult cases. Today, getting root canal treatment is often no more uncomfortable than having a filling.
Give our office a call if you're ever in need of a root canal!

CBCT Scan: Maxillary Resorption by Tooth #1

Despite years of training and practice, it has been difficult to correctly diagnose what can barely be seen on 2-D intra-oral images. The  Kodak 3D extra oral imaging (CBCT) shows the whole picture from the axial, coronal, and sagittal views. CBCT provides additional information that is essential when used in Endodontics for finding evidence of resorption .  This patient was diagnosed with pain in the maxillary right area. The patient was sent to this office for root canal therapy on tooth 2. Ordinary radiographs did not show a clear picture of the area. A CT was taken and the results show resorption of tooth #2 by tooth #1. Clearly the prognosis is poor. CT scans are recommended to diagnose the relationship of tooth #1 in relationship to tooth #2.   If you're in any doubts as to the prognosis of your patient's tooth, please let us help you save a tooth.

Face Shields: Do We Need Them?

The last few months have brought many changes on how the world operates. Dental offices are no exception. In our office, we wear extra gear, such as wearing mask at all times, disposable jackets, hair bouffant cap, gloves and etc. According to a recent article in the The Wall Street Journal: “With face shields a growing part of hospital protocol, some infectious disease doctors are calling for greater adoption outside the medical setting.” You may wonder, how does a face shield offer protection from COVID-19? Let’s understand how one gets infected with COVID-19. This virus spreads through droplets that are released into the air from an infectious person when they cough, sneeze or talk. The mouth, nose and the eyes are potential areas of how the virus can get into your system. Masks protect your mouth and nose, but what about the eyes? According to the vice president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and an infectious disease physician Dr. Daniel McQu...

Luckily, there have been many wonderful webinars full of awesome information. It's never bad to welcome change. To help us service our patients and community in a healthier and safer environment, we are implementing some changes in our office. Here are some precautions we are taking to help fight COVID-19: 1. We ask of patients, if you're having a cough, fever or any symptoms that suggest an illness, stay home! Seek medical assistance. 2. Prior to the pandemic, we went to great lengths to provide a clean and safe environment for our patients. We're taking it a step further! The office is cleaned & disinfected every morning, in between patients and every afternoon. Even if there are no patients seen that day. Kat wiping down the front desk counter. 3.
