Featuring Dr. Sharma Sinanan, DMD

Duration: 42 seconds

Endodontists usually see their referrals from the general dentist, and the general dentist would refer the more difficult cases.

For example, cases that have severely curved roots, cases that are very infected, cases that are failing for whatever reason.

And the endodontist would then take that patient and treat that patient under the microscope using our specialized instruments and techniques.

If you feel you're having this type of problem, then by all means refer yourself to the endodontist near you.
