LOS ANGELES – Jan. 7, 2025 – PRLog — Thousand Oaks, CA – Dr. Greg Rubin, a renowned Los Angeles dentist with over 40 years of experience, underscores the critical importance of preserving natural teeth amidst growing concerns about unnecessary tooth extractions and the overuse of dental implants. Highlighted by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), this topic has sparked essential conversations within the dental community about ethical and effective dental care practices.
Why Preserving Natural Teeth Matters
The AAP emphasizes that tooth extraction should only be considered when no viable treatment options exist to save the tooth. Dr. Rubin explains, “Natural teeth are designed to work in harmony with your gums and jawbone, providing stability and long-term health benefits. Preserving them protects your oral health and prevents complications like gum disease or bone loss, which are risks associated with dental implants.”
Patients are encouraged to have open discussions with their dentists to explore all available treatment options, including periodontal therapy, root canals, and restorative solutions.
