Root canal isn't that bad!
Jul 14, 2019
New Delhi, July 15 (ANI): Root canal isn't as unpleasant as people think when compared to other dental procedures. Self-reporting of dental health by patients revealed that they find the procedure no worse than other dental work which overturns the popular belief that root canal work is the most unpleasant dental treatment. The study published in the 'Journal of Endodontics' collected information from randomly selected 1069 Australian people aged 30-61 through questionnaires, dental records and treatment receipts in 2009. Their self-rated dental health score was checked when they had their dental work and two years later.
