- A Resource About Tooth Saving Tips

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- More than 40 million teeth are extracted each year and many of these
- teeth could be saved, according to the American Association of Endodontists.
- "People should think of loosing a tooth the same way they think of losing an
- arm or leg," according to Dr. Joseph D. Maggio, President of the association
- of dentists who specialize in root canal dentistry. As a patient you have the
- right to know why an extraction is necessary, what the consequences are as
- well as any possible alternative treatments. While many teeth are unsavable
- because of extensive disease, modern techniques and anesthetics make it
- possible to save badly damaged teeth that were hopeless just a few years ago.
- Dr. Maggio also tells us that " losing just one tooth can lead to shifting
- teeth, peridental disease and other problems." You can obtain important
- "Tooth Saving Tips" without charge by sending a stamped self addressed
- business envelope to the American Association of Endodontists, Suite 1501,
- Dept. AB, 211 East Chicago Ave., Chicago, IL 60611. It is well worth writing
- for.
