A lot of what people think they know about root canals are actually myths! Sometimes those myths prevent them from getting very important tooth-saving procedures. We're here to cut through the misinformation today by debunking three of the biggest endodontic myths out there.

Myth 1: I should just have my tooth pulled instead of getting a root canal. 🦷

Some teeth cannot be saved by root canal therapy, but if root canal therapy is possible, it is the best option for that tooth. Prosthodontic options like dental implants might be much better than they used to be decades ago, but nothing beats a natural tooth. Extraction should be treated as a last resort, not an easier option than root canal therapy.

Myth 2: If I get root canal therapy, I'll get some kind of illness from it. 🤒

There is zero scientific evidence to support a connection between root canal therapy and illnesses, but that myth probably comes from false claims made in the early 1900s. As a result of those claims, countless teeth that could have been saved were pulled — and plenty of perfectly healthy teeth were pulled too!

Myth 3: A root canal will hurt! 😖

Root canals have never been more comfortable! Patients suffering severe tooth pain due to an infection will find relief from a root canal procedure. Root canals don't cause pain, they end it!

Hopefully we all know how crucial daily flossing and twice-daily brushing are to keeping a growing child’s smile healthy, but the foods they eat are also important for their oral health as they develop. 🍎🍌

Antioxidants like vitamin C help fight inflammation in the gums. Vitamin A helps with the production of saliva, the mouth’s first line of defense. A lot of the B vitamins play important roles in oral health too. Vitamin D makes it easier for the body to absorb all the other vitamins so they can do their jobs.

Minerals are critical too. 👍 The most obvious is calcium, which builds strong teeth and bones, but we need magnesium before we can get the most out of calcium, zinc helps our immune systems, and iron is what allows our red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout our bodies.

A multivitamin can help, but the best way for a child to get enough of all these important vitamins and minerals is to eat a varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, dairy, and fish. Don’t forget to keep the sugar to a minimum, because it’s the worst thing for healthy teeth and gums! 🦷

Eating healthy foods promotes healthy teeth! 🍓🥕🥛 Make sure you are getting in your daily dose of fruits, veggies and some calcium!
