Advances in dentistry have made it such that most people who undergo root canals feel little or no pain.

This slide show guides you through the reasons a root canal may be necessary and the steps taken during a root canal procedure.

Oral health--learn what's behind your smile
There's more to oral health than flossing and brushing your teeth. Your mouth serves a variety of functions including eating, tasting, and talking. These are all good reasons to keep your mouth as healthy as possible. Poor dentition can not only affect your ability to chew, it can affect the pronunciation of words. Furthermore, good oral hygiene can prevent tooth decay and bad breath. Learn more about proper oral health in this slide show from the Mayo Clinic.
