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!

New prescription mandate!!

Did you know that the Commonwealth of Virginia amended a bill, early this year, in which it mandates that all prescriptions containing opioids be electronically transmitted? This amendment becomes effective July 1, 2020. The code of Virginia §54.1-3408.02 reads: “A. Consistent with federal law and in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Board, prescriptions may be transmitted to a pharmacy by electronic transmission or by facsimile machine and shall be treated as valid original prescriptions B. Any prescription for a controlled substance that contains opioids shall be issued as an electronic prescription.” This information was brought to our attention in a dental meeting in Texas. Virginia is joining several other states in the fight against drug overdose.  For the complete regulation visit: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/54.1-3408.02 /

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...

We Got A New CT!

 A few months ago, disaster hit our office. 😱 Our CT went down! No fear, we got it replace with a newer and better CT scan. Introducing the Carestream 8100.  The CS8100 allows us to choose whether we want to concentrate on one quadrant of the teeth or if we choose to take a full mouth scan. We can even take 2D panoramic x-rays if we wish. The scan yields a high resolution image. These images are more clear and sharper than the images produced by our previous CT.  We are so happy to have this new CT scan in our office. It has helped diagnosis some of the more difficult cases we have seen recently.
