A member asked:
Is it true that root canals are bad for your health in the long run? are you more at risk for certain heart conditions and other health issues after a root canal?

If what you stated were true, there wouldn't be a specialty in the dental field called an endodontist. Lots of misinformation on the internet with no valid evidence.

Where did you hear this drivel? Root canal treatment, especially when done by an Endodontist, are exceptionally safe and effective. No, root canal treatment does not cause heart conditions.
