An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in treating problems involving the inside of the tooth, an area known as the tooth pulp (which contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue). It can become inflamed or infected due to factors such as deep tooth decay, traumatic injury to a tooth, or repeated dental work on a tooth. In such cases, an endodontist performs a root canal, a procedure in which they remove the damaged or infected tooth’s nerve and pulp. If left untreated, the pulp will become inflamed and painful, ultimately leading to the death of the tooth. While general dentists can perform root canals, an endodontist has extensive experience in performing these procedures.
“I’m very glad that Dr. Yoon join our practice. He brings a lot to the table and I think he will fit in great with the culture and atmosphere we maintain here at our practice. I’m looking forward to working with Dr. Yoon in the future to successfully treat our patients,” said Dr. Rachana Vora at Reading Dental Associates.
Dr. Howard Yoon earned his bachelor of science and doctorate in dental medicine with distinction from McGill University. He pursued further education and advanced specialty training, obtaining his AEGD certificate at the University of Rochester. Subsequently, he completed the advanced graduate program in endodontics at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where he served as chief resident.
