CHICAGO, Ill., USA: A new video from the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) addresses the safety of root canal treatment. In the video, practicing endodontists Dr. Milton L. Davenport and Dr. Nermeen M. Moussa of Chicago debunk century-old claims that root canal treatment can lead to disease.
“There is a lot of misinformation online about the safety of root canal treatment, and sensational headlines tend to attract attention,” explained AAE President Dr. Robert S. Roda, an endodontist in Scottsdale, Ariz. “The AAE developed this video to help concerned patients understand that there is no valid, scientific evidence linking root canal treatment to other diseases.”
The video was unveiled by AAE during Root Canal Awareness Week, which was held March 22-28.
Dental professionals are encouraged to share this video with patients who may ask questions about the safety and effectiveness of root canal treatment. The video and other authoritative and reliable information addressing the safety of root canal treatment are available at www.aae.org/rootcanalsafety.
“The AAE asks everyone in the dental industry to be an advocate for good dental health and share information about root canal safety and the importance of saving the natural dentition,” Roda said. “As dental professionals, we know there is no evidence of a link between root canal treatment and cancer. It is in the best interest of patients to understand the advancements in modern dentistry that make endodontic treatment predictable, effective and successful.”
Held annually by the AAE, Root Canal Awareness Week is a nationwide effort to dispel myths surrounding root canal treatment and encourage general dentists to involve endodontists in case assessment and treatment planning to save patients’ natural teeth.
Dental professionals who wish to help promote Root Canal Awareness Week may use an AAE poster in offices and clinics and share the AAE’s root canal safety and other treatment videos available on the AAE YouTube channel.
More information is available at www.aae.org/rcaw, and dental professionals are also invited to follow the AAE on Facebook and Twitter or search for #rootcanal.
