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.
