National Root Canal Appreciation Day

National Root Canal Appreciation Day is a worldwide holiday dedicated to root canal treatment. It is celebrated every year on the second Wednesday of May. Root canal therapy is an important dental procedure that can save a tooth from falling out and save it.

History

The history of National Root Canal Appreciation Day begins in 2005. Its creator is C. Kammer, an American doctor who developed his own methods of oral care.

Root canal extraction is a fairly new dental procedure, because it requires modern equipment that allows you to accurately reach the inside of the tooth. This procedure is indicated when the pulp (the soft part of the tooth far into the gum, which consists of nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue) is damaged due to severe decay or other dental interventions. It plays a major role in the developmental stage of the teeth by allowing them to grow. Symptoms that indicate the need for treatment include a sore or burning sensation in the gum next to the tooth.
