How to Avoid a Root Canal
Prevent deep decay and infection with smart daily care.
A root canal treats deep infection inside a tooth. The best prevention is early, steady care.
Brush and floss daily
Plaque leads to decay that can reach the nerve. Use fluoride toothpaste and replace your brush every three months.
Eat low-sugar meals
Cut down sticky snacks and soda. Bacteria feed on sugar and release acid that erodes enamel.
Watch for warning signs
Pain when chewing, sensitivity, or gum swelling mean you should see a dentist soon. Quick fillings stop infection before it reaches the pulp.
Regular cleanings and early treatment keep your teeth healthy and pain-free.
