Let’s face it – most people don’t think the most pleasant thoughts when they think about root canals. I had my own experience with a root canal just this past December: Root canals – a necessary evil.
The thing is, although it can hurt to have the procedure done, to NOT have it done, can be worse. If you need one, don’t be scared. Ask for recommendations for dentists and endodontists who do them regularly.
Anyway, to promote the necessity of root canals, and likely to reduce the untruths and fears, American Association of Endodontists is running Root Canal Awareness Week from today, March 30th, to April 5th.
Here’s to healthy teeth!
