As a misleading article surfaced on the <em>New York Post<\/em>\u2019s website, we have taken swift action to send a letter to the publication\u2019s editor, as the article contained several false claims about root canals based on long-debunked research. Not only did the article purport that root canals are painful, but it likened the procedure to a \u201ctrend\u201d and quoted its source as saying root canal is \u201cthe only procedure we do where we keep human dead tissue inside you\u201d and other completely misleading, false statements.<\/p>\n<p>In his letter to the editor, AAE President Dr. Stefan I.
