Endodontist Dr. Sonia Chopra knows that oral health is everything because when our mouth isn’t healthy and is experiencing infections, our whole bodies suffer.
Dr. Chopra knows this personally because she isn’t just an endodontist; she’s the ultimate dental patient. Born without eight teeth, she experienced everything: fillings, root canals, extractions, braces, implants, bridges, veneers, and grafts. You name it, she’s had it.
But when she was in college, a new, excruciating pain emerged. Her dentist searched for the source of her pain with no success. Then he referred her to specialist after specialist, but no one could identify it. He sent her to an oral surgeon to have the tooth pulled. But when she woke up from the extraction procedure, she was still in terrible pain; she had been misdiagnosed, and a perfectly healthy tooth was gone.
