When we get a toothache, we think of the worst. After all, toothaches<\/a> are painful and difficult to ignore. Then again, going to the dentist frightens some of us, so we will try our best to ignore tooth pain for as long as we can take it. Because the last thing we want to hear is \u2018you need a root canal\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Root canals<\/a> have received such a bad reputation over the years, but with all of the technological advances in dentistry, root canal therapy can now be comfortable and quick. So, why don\u2019t we clear the air on any myths you\u2019ve heard about root canals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Root canals are painful.<\/strong> Root canals are done to\nrelieve the pain you already have. Sure, a local anesthetic is used to numb the\ntooth and surround area, but the procedure itself is virtually painless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare for tooth pain.<\/strong> In some cases, teeth that\nhave already died may need root canals to prevent it from becoming infected.\nYour dentist will run tests to confirm that a tooth is dead and needs root\ncanal therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My tooth, or parts, will be removed.<\/strong> Root canal\ntherapy is meant to save a tooth, so inner parts are cleaned, scraped and\/or\nremoved to ensure that the bacteria has been removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They cause illness.<\/strong> This common myth indicates that\nroot canals can lead to negative health risks but has since been debunked. Root\ncanal therapy is safe and effective, improving your oral and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing the tooth is better than root canal therapy.<\/strong> Having a tooth pulled is traumatic procedure that allows harmful bacteria to enter the blood stream; a root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
