Something for Seniors to Smile About
Summary
A generation ago, dentures and bridgework were common among U.S. seniors. Today, thanks to advancements in dental care, more Americans are keeping their natural teeth longer, particularly with the help of endodontists.Article
In the past, U.S. seniors often relied on dentures and bridgework. However, a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights a positive trend: more Americans are preserving their natural teeth as they age. Much of this progress is due to the expertise of endodontists?"specialists who focus on root canal treatments and saving natural teeth.
Endodontists have advanced training and use the latest technologies to preserve teeth that might have previously been deemed unsalvageable. As people age, the canals within their teeth often narrow, complicating tooth-saving procedures. However, modern tools such as ultrasonics and operating microscopes enable endodontists to accurately locate even the smallest canals, allowing them to remove inflamed tissue and nerves effectively. Digital imaging has also replaced traditional X-rays, greatly enhancing their ability to pinpoint sources of pain in even the narrowest root canals.
"Endodontists are accustomed to working within very small spaces," explains Dr. Marc Balson, D.D.S., president of the American Association of Endodontists. "Our extensive training, which includes four years of dental school followed by two to three years of specialized education, equips us to perform root canal treatments efficiently for any patient."
The root canal process involves removing infected pulp, cleaning and shaping the canal, and then filling and sealing the space. A successful root canal provides a strong foundation for further restorative work, promoting the long-term health and stability of the tooth.
Endodontists also consider seniors’ unique medical needs. Many prescription medications that support healthier lifestyles can complicate dental procedures. Endodontists carefully review medical histories to avoid harmful drug interactions and safely treat patients with conditions like high blood pressure.
Experience is a key advantage offered by endodontists. They perform an average of 25 root canal treatments per week, compared to just two by general dentists. For seniors, consulting an endodontist is the best way to avoid dentures, bridgework, or implants and to maintain their natural smiles for a lifetime.
