Experience: | 12 years |
Education: | Government Dental College Calicut |
Academic degree: | Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) |
Area of specialization: | I am an endodontist who mostly works with root canal cases, and over the years I kind of developed a focus on single-visit root canal treatments. Patients usually walk in expecting multiple painful sittings, and when they realize it can be done in one visit with proper planning, they feel lighter immediately. For me it’s not about speed though, it’s about being precise—making sure canals are cleaned, shaped, filled right, without cutting corners.
I rely on advanced techniques like rotary systems, magnification, proper irrigation protocols, but I also try not to lose the human side of it. Some patients are terrified just by the word “RCT”, so I spend time explaining step by step, sometimes even drawing things out on paper if needed. Anxiety is often bigger than the tooth problem itself, and addressing that is part of my specialty too.
Each case is different—curved canals, calcified ones, hidden infections—nothing is “routine” really. But when treatment works, when pain eases and the tooth is saved, that’s the part I find most rewarding. Long lasting results need both technique and patient trust, and I keep that balance in mind every single time. |
Achievements: | I am a dentist who did both my graduation and post graduation from Government Dental College, which gave me a strong base in academics and clinicals. Later I got the chance to work at AIIMS New Delhi, and that exposure was huge for me. Handling advanced cases, watching seniors deal with complicated procedures, learning how to stay calm under pressure—it all shaped the way I practice now. Those steps still feel like the real milestones in my journey. |
I am Dr. Mohammed Salman, an Endodontist with a little over 10 years in dentistry, and honestly those years taught me way more than just technique. I started my journey at Government Dental College where I did both graduation and post-graduation—solid academic training, yes, but the real shaping happened later when I joined AIIMS, New Delhi. Working there exposed me to advanced dental procedures and a range of complex cases that kind of force you to think deeper, not just follow the same step-by-step routine. Endodontics became my focus pretty early. I deal with root canals daily, but I’ve developed a special interest in single-visit root canal treatments. Patients usually dread multiple appointments, and I saw how much relief it brings when things can be completed quickly and precisely in one sitting. It’s not about rushing, it’s about balancing efficiency with accuracy—making sure comfort and long-term success are both there. Over time I’ve worked on refining my clinical approach—using updated techniques, magnification, proper irrigation protocols—all while keeping the patient’s perspective at the center. Sometimes the challenge is not just the anatomy of the tooth but the anxiety of the person sitting in the chair. That’s where communication, patience, and reassurance matter more than files or drills. Colleagues describe me as meticulous, which is fair because I don’t like leaving things half-done or compromised. But I also know dentistry isn’t perfect—every case has it’s own curveballs, canals that don’t show, post-ops that don’t settle immediately. In those moments, what matters is staying calm and persistent, not making promises you can’t keep but guiding patients honestly through the process. After a decade of practice, I see my role as more than fixing teeth—it’s about restoring function, easing pain, and keeping natural teeth alive for as long as possible. And while I’ve done this for years, each patient still reminds me why precision and compassion need to go hand in hand. That’s the part I hold onto every day.
