Is it true that if I get a root canal, I will have a bad breath?

Yes, it is true. Root canal treatment involves removing the infected pulp from inside your tooth and then filling in the empty space with a material called gutta percha. This can lead to an unpleasant odor coming from your mouth. However, you can take steps to reduce this odor by brushing and flossing regularly, using dental hygiene products such as toothpaste, rinsing your mouth out after eating or drinking anything acidic, and avoiding smoking.
