Recently, on Facebook, a hygienist posted a question to the group: “What mouthrinse should I have my patient use to help with a bleeding gum, moderate tartar build up and a bad breath problem?” Ah, were it that easy; a simple mouth rinse switch could wash all those problems down the drain. Rather than try to answer that question in one of those little bubbles on Facebook, I decided to give her and you, my wonderful readers, an answer here.

Root canals are a procedure for saving decayed or severely infected teeth. This procedure is needed when the infection, which may have been a ‘mere toothache’ in the beginning, forms an abscess which expands throughout the tooth’s root. Done by an endodontist or a dentist, root canal therapy eliminates the infection from the insides of the tooth, and removes the pulp and nerve present inside the root canal, saving the natural tooth.

The AP concluded that floss does little for oral health, but it’s important to note that the evidence they cited was very weak at best.
