A recent study by the American Association of Endodontists (AAE), the dental specialists who save your natural teeth, showed more people (59%) are afraid of getting a root canal than speaking in public (57%), spiders (55%) or being trapped in an elevator (54%).<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/f3f142zs0k2w1kg84k5p9i1o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/specialty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Halloween-Findings-Infographic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 2019 survey<\/a> of 1,000 U.S. adults also found that when given the option of a root canal or another activity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>57% would rather spend 1 hour in a room with 10 spiders.<\/li>\n<li>54% would rather sing the national anthem at a sport game.<\/li>\n<li>53% would rather have a snake in their lap for 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>41% would rather go swimming with sharks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fear of root canals is even greater for young people, where 73% of 18- to 24-year-olds would rather speak in public, and 71% percent would rather run a marathon than get a root canal. Forty seven percent of 18- to 24-olds said they would even rather go swimming with sharks than get a root canal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is there\u2019s nothing to be afraid of when it comes to root canals,\u201d said Keith V. Krell, D.D.S., M.S., M.A., president of the AAE.<strong>\u201c<\/strong>As pain management experts skilled in advanced dental technology and anesthetics, endodontists can deliver a virtually painless procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As trick or treaters get ready to indulge in large amounts of Halloween candy, the study also asked: What\u2019s the safest candy for your teeth?\u00a0 Out of a list of traditional Halloween-style candies, only 19% of people were able to identify chocolate as one of the safest candies for your teeth and just over 1 in 5 (22.5%) of 18- to 24-year-olds were able to identify \u201cgummy candy\u201d as being the worst for your teeth. Meanwhile 68.1% of those 65 and older successfully ranked sugarless candy as one of the safest options compared to only 39.5% of those who are 25-34 years old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile wearing fake teeth can be fun at Halloween, there\u2019s nothing like your natural teeth year-round for how they look and how they perform,\u201d Dr. Krell said. \u201cIf you\u2019re experiencing tooth pain or need a root canal treatment, the best way to ensure you save your natural teeth is to see an endodontist right away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/f3f142zs0k2w1kg84k5p9i1o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/specialty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Halloween-Findings-Infographic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Other interesting findings<\/a> from the Halloween study include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>65% of women are afraid of root canals compared to 53% of men that are afraid of root canals.<\/li>\n<li>77% of 55- to 64-year-olds would rather spend one hour in a room with 10 spiders than get a root canal.<a href=\"https:\/\/f3f142zs0k2w1kg84k5p9i1o-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/specialty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/Halloween-Findings-Infographic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13500 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/specialty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/AAEHalloweenInfographic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"652\" height=\"838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aae.org\/specialty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/AAEHalloweenInfographic.jpg 652w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/specialty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/AAEHalloweenInfographic-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/specialty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/AAEHalloweenInfographic-150x193.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/specialty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/AAEHalloweenInfographic-233x300@2x.jpg 466w, https:\/\/www.aae.org\/specialty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/10\/AAEHalloweenInfographic-150x193@2x.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">###<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the American Association of Endodontists:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe American Association of Endodontists (AAE).
