Hi everyone, it's me again.
Well, I went in for my second root canal today, and it went okay.
I have read a lot about the procedure during the past few months, and my question is: Are rubber dams absolutely vital during the procedure?
My dentist does not use them.
I read that it's supposed to help keeping the tooth free from saliva, and therefore bacteria.
Can the root canal procedure be compromised without the use of a dam? Do most dentists use them?
Would be grateful for any answers, as always.
