He and his team of providers enjoy their close working relationship. “Working together has given us an opportunity to get to know each other well and build friendships. That makes working together a pleasant experience, because I really enjoy the camaraderie we have and appreciate being able to communicate easily with the other doctors. We share the same priorities and enjoy the ability to collaborate on complex cases, which definitely benefits our patients.” Dr. Jaouni’s patients appreciate his commitment to providing “gentle touch” endodontic care. In his practice, every opportunity to enhance patient comfort has been addressed, from quality headphones and video, to the Dentapen anesthetic delivery device that minimizes discomfort during the numbing process. A full range of sedation options are available, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or a combination of the two, as well as IV sedation if necessary. Patients can feel reassured that their health is a top priority during any appointment at the practice, and that the latest CDC, TDA, and ADA guidelines for PPE, disinfection, and sterilization are being strictly followed. The impact of the recent COVID-19 crisis has been minimal for this conscientious practice since a high level of protection has been in place from the first day of operation. Dr. Jaouni uses a Sterisil Straw water filtration system, which works to continuously disinfect dental unit water lines so safe and clean water is always available, and a high-rate air filtration system to remove airborne pathogens. In the early days of the crisis, Dr. Jaouni acquired the latest technology for generating unlimited stable hypochlorous acid using salt, water, and electricity to ensure that disinfection protocol is never interrupted by supply disruptions. Dr. Jaouni considers referring doctors an integral part of the collaborative care team. “We strive to be valuable partners to our referring practices,” notes Dr. Jaouni. “We are here to help support their goal of providing the best possible treatment for every patient, and to tailor that partnership to their needs, whether their patient receives care from one specialist in the group or multiple specialists.” “We strive to be valuable partners to our referring practices.” Dr. Aaron Thompson notes, “Choosing a career as an endodontist has brought much joy to my life. I am truly blessed to love what I do and even moreso to work with the caliber of doctors at The Endodontic Specialists.” Dr. Pranali Patil says, “I come from a family of endodontists and have known that I wanted to be one for as long as I can remember. I am truly grateful to be able to provide pain relief and efficient endodontic care with a group of absolutely wonderful colleagues. The strong partnerships we create with our referring dentists and the love and trust of our patient’s is the fuel that drives us towards excellence.” “I absolutely love being part of a profession that can change people’s lives,” Dr. Andrew Fossum adds. “Getting someone out of pain and watching them change is one of the best feel good moments of life. On top of that, I am able to work with amazing people everyday — What a joy!” www.northtexasdentistry.com | NORTH TEXAS DENTISTRY 11
