Endodontist

Endodontists are qualified dentists who specialise in the treatment of tooth pulpitis and restorative treatments such as root canal therapy, dental implants, and internal bleaching. They help patients who have cracked teeth, discoloured teeth, and teeth that have become damaged and painful due to problems with the tooth pulp.

As an Endodontist you could be prepping a patient for root canal therapy, taking dental x-rays to check the integrity of a patient’s teeth who was injured while playing sports, providing a patient with information about internal tooth bleaching, conducting an oral examination on a patient after dental surgery, discussing a change to the treatment plan with a patient who has advanced pulpitis, writing up a referral to a dental specialist for a client with cleft lip deformities, or having a team meeting with the practice’s clinical staff.

To succeed in this occupation you must be committed to academic and technical excellence in dentistry and have outstanding interpersonal and communication skills.
