H.R. No. 895 |
|
||
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. | ||
