Root canals often have a bad reputation in the world of dentistry. You've probably heard your fair share of horror stories and myths about this standard dental procedure. However, we believe in separating fact from fiction regarding root canals at Brite Family Dental in Stafford, Brisbane. In this article, we'll debunk some of the most prevalent myths about root canals and shed light on the truth behind this essential dental treatment. We'll highlight why seeking expert care at our clinic is crucial. Ready to learn more? Let's dive in.

Fact: This is one of the most common misconceptions. Root canals relieve pain, not cause it. Modern dentistry, advanced techniques, and anaesthesia make root canal treatments no more painful than getting a dental filling. They are often the solution to unbearable toothaches caused by infection or damage.

Fact: This myth has been debunked for decades. Root canals are effective procedures that remove infected or damaged pulp tissue while preserving the natural tooth. There is no scientific evidence proving root canals to systemic health problems.

Fact: Saving your natural tooth is almost always the best option. Tooth extraction can lead to problems like shifting teeth and difficulty chewing. A well-done root canal allows you to keep your tooth and maintain your oral health. 

Fact: Thanks to advancements in dental technology, many root canals are completed in one appointment. Your dentist will determine the best approach based on your unique situation.
