MAY IS ENDODONTISTS’ favorite month: Save Your Tooth Month. Having good dental health is a huge part of our overall well-being, and endodontists are the ones to turn to when a tooth needs rescuing.
Why save a tooth instead of extracting it? Because our natural teeth are superior to every type of replacement tooth modern technology can create. Even a tooth that has had dental work is better at being a tooth than something like a dental implant. Tooth extraction can also be more painful than a tooth infection.
When a front tooth is missing, it can severely impact a person’s confidence in their smile, but even missing back teeth that are hard to see can negatively impact someone’s quality of life. The neighboring teeth gradually shift towards the gap, the jaw bone atrophies, and the replacement efforts may require several different dental visits. When it’s possible, saving the tooth with one root canal treatment is better all around.
Modern endodontists’ offices are equipped with all kinds of advanced technology that makes the tooth-saving process more effective and more comfortable for patients. Some general dentists offer root canal treatment, but the best quality of care comes from the endodontist. Only the experts can give a tooth the best chance of lasting a lifetime.
