Preserve What’s Precious: Why Your Natural Teeth Matter

The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) recently emphasized the importance of preserving natural teeth whenever possible. In response to recent reports that some dental practitioners may be unnecessarily extracting teeth for implants, the AAP highlighted the need for patient-centered care. 

Natural teeth, when healthy and maintained, play a vital role in overall oral function and quality of life. “Preserving natural teeth should be a priority in treatment planning,” stated AAP President Dr. Mia Geisinger, urging patients to seek open discussions with specialists to explore all treatment options. 

To prevent unnecessary tooth loss, the AAP advises consulting with specialists trained in gum health and tooth preservation, such as periodontists and prosthodontists. 

In cases where a dental implant is indeed necessary, a specialist’s expertise ensures careful planning, successful placement, and long-term maintenance.
