October 16 is World Endodontics Day! This date marks the birthday of Dr. Louis I. Grossman, who is considered the 'father of endodontics.'
Most importantly, though, World Endodontics Day is a chance to discuss the importance of saving your natural teeth.
Your teeth are meant to stay with you your entire life, but one in three Americans are missing at least one tooth. By age 65, one in ten Americans have lost all their teeth.
Tooth loss is often caused by untreated decay, gum disease, or injury. Treatments like root canals can address these issues and help preserve your natural teeth for years to come!
You don't have to accept tooth loss as a normal part of life. Call our office at 703-546-9941 to learn how we can help save your teeth and maintain your smile.
