🦷 Let’s Talk About Root Canals 🦷

When you hear the words “root canal,” you might picture something scary—but the truth is, root canals are one of the most effective ways to save your natural teeth!

👉 What is a root canal?
A root canal is a procedure that removes infection from the inside of a tooth. Once cleaned, the tooth is sealed and restored so you can bite and chew comfortably again.

👉 Common Myths About Root Canals
❌ Myth 1: Root canals are painful.
✔️ Fact: Thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia, root canals are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.

❌ Myth 2: It’s better to pull the tooth.
✔️ Fact: Keeping your natural tooth is almost always the best option for your smile and long-term oral health.

❌ Myth 3: Recovery takes forever.
✔️ Fact: Most patients return to normal activities the very next day!

✨ If you’ve been putting off treatment because of fear or myths you’ve heard, know this: root canals relieve pain—they don’t cause it!

Your dentist finds cavities during a regular dental checkup. She or he will probe your teeth, looking for soft spots, or use X-rays to check between your teeth.

If you’ve had a cavity for a while, you might get a toothache, especially after you eat or drink something sweet, hot, or cold. Sometimes you can see pits or holes in your teeth.

Cavities happen as a result of tooth decay. Learn more about cavities and taking care of your teeth.

🦷 Myth: Sugar is the only cause of cavities.

Fact: While sugar is a major culprit, starchy foods like bread, chips, and crackers can be just as sneaky. Bacteria feed on carbs, producing acids that damage enamel — whether they come from cupcakes or white bread. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and rinse with water after snacks to keep your smile healthy!

Did you know that chewing sugarless gum can have some benefits for your dental health? The physical act of chewing increases salivary flow in the mouth. Plaque forms when leftover food particles and saliva mix in your mouth. Plaque contains bacteria that feed on carbs and sugars, producing acid as they metabolize the sugars. These acids can lead to gum disease and tooth decay. Here's some good news! Chewing on sugar-free gum, or gum with xylitol, for a few minutes after you finish eating increases salivary flow, which can help neutralize and wash away the acids that are produced by the bacteria in plaque. Just don’t do it for a prolonged period, to avoid other issues.
