To prevent dental problems and the need for root canal treatment, you should brush and floss daily, maintain a healthy diet, and visit a dentist near you every six months for dental cleanings and exams. Following a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water can also improve your dental health, and reduce your risk of tooth decay, oral cancer, and bone loss.Watch this video from the American Dental Association for more information about how your diet can impact your dental health. Consuming foods and beverages that are acidic or high in sugar can contribute to the buildup of harmful bacteria, plaque, and tartar on and around your teeth and potentially cause the need for root canal treatment.
