BLOGS & PODCASTS
As the world of endodontics changes and progresses, here are some links to information that might be useful to growing your practice or simply keeping up with the latest in our industry. I have also written blogs that might be useful to you.
IS YOUR ENDODONTIC PRACTICE IN A RUT?
Connecting with as many Endos as I do, I’ve observed that so many have lost the passion for their profession. They often come to me looking for a magic answer to being as excited as when they started practicing. I don’t have a magic answer but I do have a few thoughts to
Does efficiency just mean working harder?
It’s been my experience, when observing anyone who is particularly efficient at anything, that there is a certain grace, confidence and trust of others involved. Every chef has a sous chef to prep the ingredients so the process of preparing even a complex dinner goes smoothly. Everyone knows their role in that kitchen –
IS IT TIME TO REEVALUATE YOUR PROFESSIONAL WHY?
When I decided on a career in endodontics many years ago, I have to say that my WHY was to earn a really good income and avoid the strict 9-5 routine. Life being what it is, my thoughts and my WHY have morphed over time into something that resonates much more with me. To be specific,
What can you learn from a FREE 30-minute E2E Introductory phone call with me
I think the first thing you’ll realize is that just scheduling the call says something is not quite right in your practice and you’re open to new possibilities. But you’re not alone. Sad but true, the majority of Endos I have asked to rate their practice satisfaction level from 1 to 10 replied “4 or
The Efficient Endodontist: Increase Profits, Without Compromising Patient Care
Every endodontist does things a little different. Sure, the procedures are all the same, but it’s up to every endodontist to decide how they want to run their practice. There are only so many approaches to a root canal, but there are infinite ways to handle scheduling, staffing, patient management and general operations. Are
If You’re Not Part of the Steamroller, You’re Part of the Road
No one likes change. It’s difficult to adapt to something unfamiliar and new—especially if you’re comfortable with doing things the way they’ve always been done. But resistance to change means an inability to adapt. Instead of digging in and getting steamrolled, recognize when there’s an opportunity to embrace change and all the benefits that
Why Mindset Matters
Everyone approaches their morning differently. I have friends who bound out of bed at the last minute, shower, drink a cup of coffee and rush to the office. Others who get stressed watching the morning news. What I want to share here is a routine that developed over many years that fits my nature. Perhaps this will

What’s the difference between a general dentist and an endodontist?
General dentists are essential practitioners who keep teeth healthy by performing a wide variety of treatments from fillings to crowns to extractions, bridges, cleanings and much more. In the field of dentistry, there are several specialists including cosmetic dentistry, orthodontic services, periodontics, teeth restoration, oral-maxillofacial surgery and much more.
ENDODONTISTS ARE SPECIALISTS IN SAVING TEETH.
Just like a specialized doctor in any other field (heart specialists, oncologists, pediatricians, etc.), endodontists are specialists at diagnosing tooth pain and root canal treatment and other procedures relating to the interior of the tooth. In many cases, a diseased tooth can be saved with endodontic treatment.
ENDODONTISTS MUST COMPLETE MORE TRAINING. Along with two to three years of advanced training beyond dental school, endodontists must have incredible precision and hand-eye coordination, making them highly skilled at performing complex treatments.
ENDODONTISTS DO AN AVERAGE OF 25 ROOT CANAL TREATMENTS A WEEK, WHILE GENERAL DENTISTS TYPICALLY DO 2. Endodontists are skilled specialists in finding the cause of oral and facial pain that has been difficult to diagnosis.
ENDODONTISTS ARE EXPERTS IN PAIN MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENTS THAT ARE LESS INVASIVE. They use specialized techniques to ensure comfort during their treatments AND they are adept at minimizing tooth pain after their root canal procedure when the pulp infection or inflammation heals.
ENDODONTISTS USE CUTTING-EDGE SPECIALTY TECHNOLOGIES. Endodontists use the most advanced materials and equipment designed specifically to treat tooth pain, perform root canal treatment and make the experience more comfortable and successful. Some examples of technology: Digital radiographs and 3-D imaging allow endodontists to take detailed pictures of tiny tooth anatomy to better see the root canals and any related infections. Endodontists use dental operating microscopes to better see inside the root canals to thoroughly treat them.
