Neck pain, eye strain, and shoulder tension aren't just annoyances—they're warning signs. If you're leaning over patients to perform endo, it's only a matter of time before discomfort becomes dysfunction. A dental microscope isn't just about magnification—it's about longevity.

Endodontic retreatment is a specialized dental procedure performed when a previously treated tooth requires additional treatment due to persistent or recurring issues. It involves the removal of the existing root canal filling material, thorough cleaning and disinfection of the root canals, and subsequent re-filling to address any unresolved problems.

Magnification is no longer a luxury in dentistry—it’s a necessity.

At Global Surgical, we have dedicated over 30 years to advancing dental technology, creating precision tools that enhance the capabilities of dental professionals.

When your general dentist refers you to an endodontist, it’s not just a matter of passing you off to another provider—it’s a referral to a dental specialist with advanced training in saving your natural teeth.

In the face of dental discomfort or disease, the knee-jerk reaction might often be to consider extraction. However, there's a branch of dental specialists for whom the mantra is "Save Your Tooth".

Endodontists are dedicated to preserving natural teeth, often preventing the need for dental implants or bridges.

Today, we're exploring the invaluable role endodontists play in dental health and why saving your natural tooth is often the best course of action.

As we step into 2025, the dental industry continues to evolve, with new technologies, changing patient expectations, and increased competition shaping the landscape.
