Pls help.i had 4 root canal l last 2 months ago.and now i read that root canal can cause cancer iam so scared now bcoz breast pain this past few weeks?

Not true: Please do not worry about this. There is no valid scientific evidence that root canals cause cancer. There are some things written about this on the internet but they are based on patient stories and there is no evidence of linkage between root canals and cancer.
