1. Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is probably the most maligned dental procedure, but the reputation of pain typically (associating, associated) with "having a root canal" is really not deserved. 2. Root canal therapy refers to the treatment of the inner aspects of a tooth, specifically that area inside a tooth originally (occupied, occupying) by the tooth's "pulp tissue". 3. If you get an infection from bacteria (entered, entering) a cut on your skin, your body will transport white blood cells to and from the area. 4. As we discussed previously, this cleaning process will remove any bacteria (harbored, harboring) inside your tooth. 5. Sometimes, since the tooth (received, receiving) the root canal treatment feels so much better, a person is eager to make use of their tooth again. 6. Any antibiotics (prescribed, prescribing) should always be taken as (directed, directing). 7. The tooth damage (caused, causing) by these whiteners was irreversible. 8. The extra time (required, requiring) for repair of the braces and wires will usually require an additional fee. 9. Anyone (bleached, bleaching) their teeth must be certain that the specific whitener they are using is safe.
