As a practicing dentist who has treated thousands of patients with infected and damaged teeth, one of the most common concerns I hear from patients in Berkeley, California is:
"Do I really need a root canal?"
The answer depends on what is happening inside the tooth. Many people assume a root canal is needed whenever a tooth hurts. In reality, some painful teeth do not require root canal treatment, while some severely infected teeth may cause little or no pain at all.

After a tooth extraction, many patients ask: “When and how can I brush my teeth safely?”
From the perspective of dental practitioners across Africa, the answer is clear—you can brush your teeth, but you must be careful around the extraction site.
Proper brushing helps prevent infection, but incorrect technique can dislodge the blood clot and lead to complications like Dry Socket.
Healing after a tooth extraction is a gradual process, and understanding what happens each day can help reduce anxiety and ensure proper recovery. Immediately after the procedure (Day 1), a blood clot forms in the socket. This clot is essential—it protects the underlying bone and nerves while starting the healing process. Mild bleeding and swelling are normal during this stage.
