🦷 MYTH vs. FACT 🦷

❌ MYTH: Root canals cause pain.
✅ FACT: Root canals remove infection and help RELIEVE pain.

One of the most common misconceptions we hear is that root canal treatment is painful — but in reality, the discomfort usually comes from the infection itself, not the procedure.

Modern endodontic treatment is designed to:

✔️ Relieve pain
✔️ Eliminate infection
✔️ Save your natural tooth
✔️ Restore your smile and comfort

At Ritter Endodontics, our goal is to make your experience as comfortable, gentle, and stress-free as possible. ✨
