Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

We have no permanent fillings. The first little filling leads to an average expense of $2000 to $4000 per tooth filled through a lifetime of breakdown and repair. Thats why it is so important that we can now prevent the decay process from advancing to the stage that drilling and filling become necessary.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The dental hygienist can keep their young patients from having their teeth drilled and filled if they start with the 5 year old child.

There will be less chance of pain during this procedure because the tooth has been dead for 6 years since the root canal was done. That means the nerves that cause the pain are no longer in the tooth
