Many Americans Want to Keep Their Natural Teeth—But Aren’t Taking the Right Steps

  • A 2025 survey shows that while most Americans aim to retain their original teeth throughout life, many do not consistently maintain the dental care routines necessary to support this goal.
  • This gap exists because although 86% believe flossing saves teeth, nearly 60% skip flossing daily and 42% visit dentists only when in pain.
  • Specialists in root canal therapy focus on addressing dental pain and infections, playing a crucial role in saving natural teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted through prompt treatment.
  • Dr. Steven Katz, who leads the American Association of Endodontists, emphasized that the primary objective should be preserving natural teeth and highlighted the key role of preventive care.
  • May is designated as Save Your Tooth Month to encourage individuals to take preventive measures and seek appropriate dental expertise to avoid major issues and maintain their natural teeth for life.
