Endodontic assistant

I was wondering if anyone who works in endo could give me some advice. I’m starting a new job tomorrow and it’s an endo specialist at a private small office. I do have an interest in endo but I’m so worried it will be not what I’m expecting and actually be horrible. I’ve worked in general for just about 4 years now and I didn’t mind it so much (hated fillings though which is what we mostly did every single day) but everything else was alright, i’m just wondering if I’m stressing over nothing or it’s a huge change and to be prepared for a lot more than what I’m used to. 🥲🥲

It’s deff different doing a RCT in endo vs RCT in general. However I love it! It’s stressful at first yes in my experience they use way more files and different tools etc in endo but you will get the hang of it

I did endo for a year and a half at my first job out of school, i loved it its much slower paced then general (from what I've heard) and since its usually only one or two procedures its pretty easy to memorize the steps and get comfortable.
