Alexander is a young, quirky and entrepreneurial endodontist.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Most patients have just one question burning on their minds: why choose a profession that requires you to be poking through other people\u2019s teeth all day long?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Alexander Schryvers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA toothache can be unbearable. I\u2019ve had patients \u2014 innocent little kids, powerful women, and fierce men alike \u2014 crying their eyes out when they walked into my dental clinic. The pain is killing them. And then I pull out my instruments to offer them relief. Isn\u2019t that wonderful? In my teens I came across a documentary on microsurgery and I was immediately hooked. To be able to perform a medical procedure with such an astonishing amount of precision? Wow! Even today, after all these years, it still feels amazing to be working meticulously on just a few square millimeters, with a lens that magnifies everything 15 times. Our job requires maniacal focus and tremendously well-developed fine motoric skills. And yes, I admit it\u2019s a bit of a kick, the monomania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes my friends mock me. They claim one must be a bit odd if one wants to become an endodontist. But that depends on the perspective you take. Here\u2019s how I see things: I use my tools to drill to the very heart of a tooth \u2014 which is the hardest part of the human body \u2014 and I remove something that has died a long time ago. Some find that a gross and appalling idea. It is. Sometimes I see pus gushing from a tooth on the rhythm of a beating heart. And I love it. Removing filthiness from a human body \u2014 providing relief from a dirty, smelly liquid that causes pain \u2014 has a certain beauty to it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KU Leuven<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Alexander obtained his degree as a general dentist at KU Leuven (2015) and graduated summa cum laude for his postgraduate degree in endodontics (2018). He combines a somewhat blunt, idiosyncratic mind with a rigorous discipline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
