Chief Surgeon · MDS (Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics)
Dr. Sandeep Chandran is the Chief Surgeon at Providence Dental Clinic in Thirumala, Trivandrum, and leads its team of dentists. His postgraduate specialty, Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics, is the branch of dentistry that focuses on keeping natural teeth healthy and working.
His approach is conservative. He saves a tooth whenever it can sensibly be saved, and he explains the options, the likely number of visits and the cost before treatment begins. He sees patients for tooth pain, root canal treatment, root canal re-treatment and tooth-coloured restorations.
Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics is a recognised dental specialty in India. A dentist qualifies in it through a three-year Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) programme, taken after the five-year BDS degree.
Endodontics deals with the pulp and root canals inside a tooth. It covers finding the cause of tooth pain, treating infected or inflamed teeth with root canal treatment, re-treating root canals that have not healed, and managing teeth that have been injured.
Conservative dentistry repairs teeth damaged by decay, wear or fracture while keeping as much natural tooth as possible. It uses tooth-coloured fillings, inlays, onlays and crowns.
When a tooth hurts or a root canal is difficult, specialist training helps. The aim is always to save your own tooth before extraction is considered.
