Never let a dentist use formaldehyde on you or your toddler during a root canal. Ask if they are. Don't ask what they are using. You have to specifically ask if there is any formaldehyde being used. If the answer is yes, or they waffle, it is time to RUN. Don't be swayed by their defending of it.

Don't fall into the trap of believing things that are said by the American Endodontic Society. They are not a recognized group by the dental community and frequently tout untruths or unsubstantiated information in their quest to push a product that has been denied approval by the FDA, is not supported by the ADA, taught NOT to be used in every single accredited dental school and 99.9% of the dental community is adamantly against.
