|
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. |
