Steffan J. Scherer, DDS, MS, Endodontist in Private Practice
Get to know Endodontist Dr. Steffan J. Scherer, who serves the population of Lubbock, Texas.
Dr. Scherer is a Endodontist currently practicing with his private practice in Lubbock, Texas. He has graduated with his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree, and holds a Master’s of Science degree.
To earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree, students generally need a four-year undergraduate education. Afterward, they go to dental school for another four years of educational, clinical and dental laboratory training. After graduating with a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree, dentists have to pass rigorous examinations. In the United States, dentists must pass the National Board Dental Examinations, which is a national written exam. They also have to pass a state exam to be licensed to practice there. With such extensive education and examination requirements, patients can rest assured that any dentist with a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree is well qualified.
While all endodontists are dentists, less than three percent of dentists are endodontists. Just like a doctor in any other field, endodontists are specialists because they’ve completed an additional two or more years of training beyond dental school. Their additional training focuses on diagnosing tooth pain and root canal treatment and other procedures relating to the interior of the tooth. In many cases, a diseased tooth can be saved with endodontic treatment. For this reason, endodontists proudly refer to themselves as Specialists in Saving Teeth.
