Formaldehyde harmful effects and root canals
16. December 2008 by admin.
Formaldehyde is really not used in root canals. In certain situations, they are used as a temporary disinfectant during partial root canal treatments. In those instances, they are only placed in the middle of the crown of the tooth, away from vital bone tissues. Also, the amount used is such that only vapors are necessary. We dab some in some cotton and dry that cotton to make sure it’s not soaked. But like I said, we don’t use it during an actual root canal treatment. The materials used in root canals are extremely inert.
