Dr Rees is a periodontist. A few years ago he extracted a tooth in preparation for a dental implant. Now, I’m back with a loose tooth which I somehow traumatized. He is trying to save my tooth. I’ve had deep cleaning and scaling at his office and I have a pending appointment with an endodontist … for a possible root canal. Dr. Rees hopes to be able to save the tooth vs. extraction and implant. He is conservative and has attempted to achieve the best result for me at the least possible cost.
