3. What do you call a dentist who doesn’t floss? A *root* cause of your next root canal!
4. They say laughter is the best medicine, but I’d argue that a pain-free root canal comes pretty close — if only because it precedes the reassuring “you’re all done!” from the dentist!

10. I asked my dentist why he chose root canals over other procedures. He said, “Because some days, you just want to drill down to the root of the problem!”
11. How did the root canal get its reputation as a ‘bad boy’? Because it always knew how to fill a cavity — and then some!
12. They say that every root canal is simply a way to find inner peace, but I’ve yet to find tranquility in the sound of a dental drill!
13. Why did the root canal break up with the filling? It found out it was too shallow for a deep connection!
