Save Your Tooth Month, sponsored by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.endovision.info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EndoVision<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sonendo<\/a>, is a national initiative designed to showcase the benefits of root canal treatment from a specialist, and thanking general dentists for their referrals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe perfect companion to our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aae.org\/worthsaving\">Worth Saving<\/a> consumer campaign, Save Your Tooth Month emphasizes the importance of saving natural teeth, among other treasured items,\u201d said AAE President Dr. Keith V. Krell. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to expand Root Canal Awareness Week in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A new survey we conducted that was dedicated towards figuring out what Americans believe is worth saving tells us that millennials care about saving their natural teeth just as much &#8212; if not more &#8212; than any other aspect of their body.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some other stats &#8220;worth sharing&#8221;:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The top reasons people value saving their natural teeth are because \u201cit\u2019s healthier\u201d and \u201cit gives you a better appearance.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Sixty-one percent of women feel strongly that saving their natural teeth helps them feel better about themselves compared to 51 percent of men.<\/li>\n<li>Twenty-four percent of millennials ranked teeth as the No. 1 thing they would save or maintain about their body compared to baby boomers\u2019 preference for saving their eyesight (37 percent).<\/li>\n<li>More than 95 percent of people say it\u2019s important to save your natural teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In another survey of the public, 48 percent of respondents would make an appointment to see their dentist if they experienced tooth pain. Roughly half of respondents said if they were to feel tooth pain, they would only wait between two and six days to seek treatment. Another 23 percent said they would seek treatment that same day. Clearly, most people wish to resolve tooth pain very quickly, and that&#8217;s exactly what endodontists are trained to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We expect Save Your Tooth Month \u2013 and our overall Worth Saving campaign \u2013 to have a big impact, the kinds of results and exposure our organization hasn\u2019t yet seen,\u201d Dr. Krell said. \u201cSo we are enlisting you to help us spread the word in your practices and local communities.
