Endo is often really daunting as new grads because the complications and failures can feel so catastrophic - broken files, perforations, hypochlorite accidents - you name it. In this episode, our Discord Endo Guru Zi (aka @zethan_.dental) talks us through ways of building our confidence to tackle root canals, how to manage patient expectations and how to communicate effectively with patients.

How do you talk a patient through whether to extract or save a tooth. How do you run through risks and complications without terrifying them? How do you explain to them when things don't go the way you'd hoped such as a separated file? 

All this and much more in this jam packed episode. I didn’t think I’d enjoy talking about endo as much as I did in this chat with Zi, but I think it really goes to show how infectious his passion and enthusiasm and willingness to share is.
