Dr Karen LA Lam is a female Specialist Endodontist.
I became interested in endodontics in my second year after graduation. It fascinated me that such a small tissue like the dental pulp can be the major cause of dental symptoms. We have come a long way in learning to respect the dental pulp, from the time of 'extension for prevention' to the present day 'minimally invasive dentistry'. However, root canal treatment still plays a big role in the maintenance of a healthy smile.
