R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Endodontists are dental care experts who specialize
  in treating tooth pain and tooth disease and performing root canal
  treatments and other procedures with the goal of saving a patient's
  natural teeth; and
         WHEREAS, As specialists, these individuals complete three
  years of additional training beyond dental school to acquire the
  knowledge and skills necessary to identify and treat complex issues
  related to the interior of the teeth; they possess outstanding
  precision and hand-eye coordination, and they utilize the most
  advanced and up-to-date technology to provide their patients with
  the highest standard of care; and
         WHEREAS, Endodontists limit their practice solely to
  endodontic treatments and perform an average of 25 root canal
  procedures per week; they often work as partners with general
  dentists, and they explore all treatment options to determine the
  best course of action for each individual case; and
         WHEREAS, Through the important services they provide,
  endodontists help patients maintain their natural smiles and avoid
  the need for dental care at emergency rooms and urgent care
  facilities, and their expertise is crucial to the well-being of
  countless Texans each year; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize May 2023 as Save Your Tooth Month and
  pay tribute to the many hardworking endodontists across the state.
