Also know as cavitation cleaning. **** Hi His! Good grief. What in the world did your dentist do to you? I had a root canal more than 35 years ago. It has given me no trouble. What remains of that tooth supports a crown, which looks pretty nice -- although the original crown has been replaced once. If you have a root canal removed, then you lose the usefulness of that tooth altogether, don't you? MA (who probably has a couple more root canals in her future, as thirty-year old silver fillings are beginning to fail and the dentist won't replace them with composite) :-(
