The Guardian recently published an article that carefully summarizes the concerns shared by the dental community over the now infamous Netflix film "Root Cause". Anna Almendrala, the author, thoroughly described the concerns made by the American Dental Association (ADA), American Association of Endodontists (AAE), and American Association of Dental Research (AADR). She also shared thoughts from different members of the health field.
