Root canal treatment is one of the most common dental procedures, yet it’s surrounded by myths that make many patients feel nervous. At Sood Dental Care & Implant Centre, under the expert guidance of Dr. Isha Sood (BDS, MDS, Dental Surgeon – 10+ years of experience), patients learn the truth: root canals are safe, effective, and often no more uncomfortable than a routine filling.

Myth 1: Root Canals Are Very Painful

Fact: With modern anesthesia and advanced techniques, root canals are virtually painless. At Sood Dental, patients often report feeling relief rather than pain, since the infection causing discomfort is treated.

Myth 2: It’s Better to Remove the Tooth Instead of Doing a Root Canal

Fact: Saving your natural tooth is always the healthier option. While extraction might sound easier, it creates gaps in your smile and often requires replacements like dental implants or bridges which can be more expensive and time-consuming. A root canal preserves your natural tooth structure, maintains chewing ability, and keeps your smile intact.

Myth 3: Root Canals Take Many Long Appointments

Fact: With advanced techniques, many root canals can be completed in just one or two visits. At Sood Dental, Dr. Isha Sood uses digital imaging and modern rotary instruments that make the procedure faster, more efficient, and comfortable for patients.

Myth 4: Root Canal-Treated Teeth Are Weak and Don’t Last

Fact: After a root canal, the tooth is restored with a filling or a crown. With proper care, the treated tooth can last a lifetime. Patients at Sood Dental Care & Implant Centre are advised to maintain good oral hygiene and regular check-ups to keep their restored teeth healthy and strong.

Myth 5: Root Canals Can Cause Illness in the Body

Fact: This is an outdated belief based on research that has long been disproven. Scientific evidence shows that root canals are safe and actually prevent bacteria from spreading to other parts of the body. By cleaning and sealing the tooth, a root canal protects both oral and overall health.

Myth 6: Root Canals Are Only for Very Painful Teeth

Fact: Not all teeth that need a root canal are painful. Sometimes, an infection progresses silently, without severe symptoms. During a dental check-up at Sood Dental, Dr. Isha Sood may discover the problem through X-rays, even if you’re not experiencing pain yet. Early treatment prevents future complications.
