  Endodontics  
 
Endodontics is a specialist sub-field of dentistry that deals with the tooth pulp and the tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. The pulp (containing nerves, arterioles and venules, lymphatic and fibrous tissue) can become diseased or injured, and is often unable to repair itself. If it dies, endodontic treatment is required.

Board Certification - What It Means

Dr. Fagundes has been in private practice for the past fourteen years mastering his technique through experience and continuing his education. His thirst for knowledge and his passion for his profession motivated Dr. Fagundes to complete the rigorous requirements to become Board-Certified in 2001.

Dr. Fagundes is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics. He is also a member of the American Association of Endodontists, the American Dental Association, and the Georgia Dental Association.

Board Certification is the highest level of achievement in Endodontics. Less than one-third of Endodontists are Board-Certified. We hope that this further instills your confidence in our office. Dr. Fagundes is the only Board-Certified Endodontist in the LaGrange, Newnan, and Columbus area.

A Board-Certified Endodontist has satisfied all requirements of the Board Certification process of the American Board of Endodontics (ABE). This individual is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics.

ABE Diplomate status is awarded to qualified endodontists who have demonstrated diagnostic skill, clinical proficiency, and professional judgment of a level that ensures the highest quality of care for patients. They have taken an examination administered by a panel of experts of their peers and have demonstrated an exemplary level of knowledge, understanding, and clinical expertise in Endodontics. Three exams over several years are completed which include a written exam, case submissions and finally an oral examination conducted by the Directors of the ABE. All of these must be completed satisfactorily within a specific timeframe.

Dr. Fagundes received his Diplomate status in 2001, and was recognized at the American Association of Endodontists Annual Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana in April 2001. He is thrilled to have achieved this milestone in his profession.
