Why endo?
By David Baker
I’m often asked by other dentists why I chose to do further studying in endodontics.
All of the team at simplyendo are organising a fantastic day of endo at the end of June with all proceeds going towards supporting a treatment fund for one of our dear friends, Hannah. See below for more details.
This will be a fantastic day of structured learning about contemporary endodontics.
This programme discusses different concepts of canal shaping in modern endodontology. It will highlight the the background to endodontic disease and how successful treatment is related to predictable consistent canal shaping combined with efficient canal disinfection with irrigants. The programme will also present an overview on the requirements for an ideal obturation. This will be discussed together with the issues relating to hot and cold obturation techniques and conclude with a review of contemporary obturation materials and sealers.

Louise Crompton shares how she helps students to navigate the challenges of an MSc
While embarking on an MSc is an exciting time, it can also be quite daunting, especially for those who have never undertaken a postgraduate certificate. Here at simplyendo we are dedicated to providing a high level of teaching to ensure you get the most out of your Masters degree in Endodontology, which is why we don’t just stop at the endo side of things.
I live and work on the Isle of Man at the Tracey Bell Dental and Aesthetic Clinic, and we have an excellent visiting endodontist who has been treating our patients. However, he recently decided to cut down his hours and, although we have five dentists working at our practice, we all cover quite specific areas of dentistry. The thing is, I hated endo but I realised that I needed to become better at it in order to fill the gap and provide our patients with the service they need.
Simplyendo is simply the best!
As a dental professional there are many areas that you will face on a day-to-day basis. From general dentistry such as check ups and fillings, to cosmetic treatments like whitening and bonding, through to perio and endo surgeries that are rather more involved. It is natural for each individual to enjoy carrying out some treatments more than others, and to feel less confident in some areas.
If you are considering furthering your dental skillset, knowing which direction to turn your attentions to can often feel overwhelming. Dental professionals are extremely lucky to have a wealth of options open to them – from dental implants to facial aesthetics and everything in between – but inevitably all courses will cost you both time and money, so it is essential to choose wisely.
Mike Turner, tutor at simplyendo, shares what endodontics has brought to his life...
I started studying dentistry at the University of Liverpool in 1995 and graduated with my BDS in 2000. From there, I worked as an associate in general dental practice for a few years across Birkenhead before moving to Newcastle, then Northumberland, and then Hartlepool. It was around this time that I decided to concentrate my career in a narrower field.
"The clarity of what needs to be done at each stage and the easy accessibility of information and resources really is amazing.
I'm just working on improving my utilisation of the simplyendo website to answer any questions I have and the support you offer really is second to none. I can't imagine the time and effort you have to invest!
The more I think about how I approached dental treatment after dental school and the way I am doing it now the more I realise it has all been a journey, a journey that continues.
My journey from simplyendo to Endo Reality.........
I signed up to do the 10 day course with simplyendo in 2012 on the recommendation of a good friend in the endodontic world. I only intended to do the 10 day course and now three years later here I am with an MSc in Endodontics and a company producing endodontic training teeth!
