Dr. William P. Caldon, D.M.D., owner of High Peaks Dental, explains how today’s dental drills prevent tooth loss with minimal pain and invasiveness.

Plattsburgh, NY — November 24, 2014 — Well-known Plattsburgh and Lake Placid dentist Dr. William Caldon published a new blog post entitled “Need a Root Canal? Don’t Be Afraid of the Drill.” In the article, he discusses how drills allow dentists to restore teeth to good health without a significant amount of pain or compromising the structural integrity of the tooth.

Caldon says, “Let’s put any misgivings to rest once and for all: Drilling a properly anesthetized tooth does not cause pain. In fact, it can actually save patients from the serious tooth pain caused by infections.”

Dr. Caldon has been a co-owner of High Peaks Dental since 1996 after serving in the United States Air Force for 20 years and retiring as a Colonel. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville and his Bachelor’s from Thomas More College. In 2013, USA Today featured Caldon as one of America’s Premier Dentists.
