Oral health and overall health are deeply interconnected. Endodontic care plays a vital role in maintaining strong oral health by eliminating infection, alleviating pain, and preserving natural teeth.
A key responsibility of dentists is to reassure patients concerned about the safety of endodontic treatment. For accurate, comprehensive information on the safety and effectiveness of root canal treatments and other endodontic procedures, we recommend visiting the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) website.
When conducting research online, it’s important to rely on reputable and trusted sources. While organizations like the AAE provide reliable information, be cautious of websites that may offer misleading or outdated claims. Many of these sources are based on poorly conducted research from the early 1920s. Over the decades, extensive studies have confirmed that root canal therapy and other endodontic procedures are safe, effective, and crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.
