Excelling in endodontics

Dental nursing is a profession that the dental industry simply could not live without. The support and guidance dental nurses provide is vital to a well-functioning practice and no more so than now as we emerge into a post-pandemic world. This rings especially true in endodontic practices. Dental nurses have become an integral part of the necessary teamwork to achieve excellent endodontic outcomes and are perfectly placed to become an important part of the patient journey, every step of the way.

So, what does modern endodontic dental nursing involve?

Emotional support from the very first step

As much as we’d like to tell ourselves that root canal treatment isn’t a daunting prospect for patients, there is still a lot of fear associated with this type of dentistry. The vast majority of patients are put on edge when they hear that they need endodontic treatment, exacerbated by the poor reputation the procedure has and the supposed pain it is meant to cause.
