Can root canals cause health problems and complications?

No, root canals do not cause any systemic health problems, and this is the common myth many people have. In modern dentistry, which uses modern technology, root canal treatment is a safe and highly successful procedure. However, in any medical treatment, it can have some possible complications, but they are restricted to the part treated and can't have an impact on total health. This was the doubt my brother had when he underwent a root canal treatment, and as discussed with our family dentist, facts are known instead of myths.
