It is safe: Do you really think dentists would do something that causes cancer? Don't believe everything you read on the net.

Cancer ?: Endodontics is a specialty that dentists can train for following graduation from dental school. It is a multi-year program taught in some of the most prestigious universities. Do you honestly believe that the dental profession is being educated and trained to harm you ?

RCT vs EXT?: If the tooth can be saved with rct and a restoration, and that what was recommended to you, it would be a better choice. In all of history, there has never been a link between rct and cancer. There is more chance of getting cancer from eating, drinking, flying, and breathing than having rct. I hope you won't stop any of those activities for fear of cancer. Lead a happy life and make wise choices.
