Dr. Patrick Caldwell is a registered specialist in Endodontics. He graduated in dentistry with honours from the University of Queensland in 1998 and then went on to work for the Royal Australian Navy, both ashore and at sea. During this time, he undertook advanced training in restorative dentistry and in 2002 sat examinations and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons. In 2003, Dr. Caldwell began a three-year, full-time training programme in root-canal therapy, and graduated with a Master of Dental Science in Endodontics at the end of 2005. He returned to work with the Royal Australian Navy and was also engaged as a visiting specialist at the Sydney Dental Hospital. In 2009, he moved to Shanghai, China, where he was the only endodontist in a city of 21 million people. In late 2010, he returned home to Brisbane and started Brisbane Microsurgical Endodontics. He is involved in teaching at the University of Queensland and has conducted courses both nationally and internationally to help general dentists improve their root-canal skills.
