A root canaled tooth of Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton, a 92nd Air Refueling Wing public affairs photojournalist, is clamped in place with a protective rubber-like material protecting the patient’s mouth from debris as part of a re-coloration procedure in the base dental clinic at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., March 16, 2015. A root canal, also known as an endodontic treatment, helps patients maintain a natural smile, continue eating normal foods and limits the need for ongoing dental work. With proper care, most root canal treated teeth can last as long as other natural teeth and often for a lifetime. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
