How is a Board Certified Endodontist different from a regular endodontist?
All endodontists have completed dental school and are graduated from a two or three year residency program that includes advanced training in root canal therapy, endodontic surgery, endodontic re treatment and more. Because an endodontist is a specialist, only endodontic services are provided in the practice; a few endodontists complete an additional rigorous process that culminates in a day-long written test, case presentations, and an oral exam before the American Board of Endodontics to achieve Board Certification. 19% of all Endodontists worldwide have achieved Diplomate status and are certified to be the best in their field. There are seven board certified Endodontists in Kentucky, one is in Somerset serving southeastern and south central Kentucky.
