Are root canals really the answer? Root Canal Toxicity – The Silent Bacteria

One of the worst things you can do to your mouth is subject it to a root canal. Traditional dentists will tell you that a root canal is an important surgery done to help save a tooth and eliminate bacteria and infection. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, root canal ‘therapy’ does not cure the problem, it creates a deeper wound.

Why does the American Dental Association deny this? Mostly because the potential liability involved would be insurmountable. Moreover, root canals are extremely profitable–it’s just not good business to deny them to patients.

Every Root Canal Leaks
A root canal procedure is the only medical procedure that exists which forces the body to accept dead tissue. This causes the body to react in unsuspecting ways.  Every root canal leaks, which means that all patients who have ever had a root canal have increased their chances of developing continual low-grade infections and other chronic conditions. This condition is for life and is why many natural healthcare practitioners recommend avoiding root canals at all costs.

Research shows once the blood flow to the tooth has stopped, nothing can remove the bacteria that forms after a root canal, nor can antibiotics reach the bacteria remaining in the tubules. Dr. Weston Price, famous for his discovery of Root Canal Toxicity, carried out meticulous root canal research over a period of 25 years to reveal what biological dentists know today.

Studies on thousands of teeth have demonstrated the presence of bacteria in 80% to 90% of the canals after they have been “sterilized.” Research has found that bacteria and their toxins from root canals can enter the blood stream and travel to any point in the body, and generate disease to that tissue or organ.

Here’s what happens: a traditional dentist will remove the nerve and infected pulp from the tooth, then sterilize the adjoining canals and seal and refill them so that they can’t get re-infected. But when the canals are sealed, this procedure also seals off the miles of microscopic tubules that run through the tooth’s dentin. When the tubules get sealed off, whatever remains in the tubules stays trapped there. In 100 percent of all root canals, at least some bacteria remain, no matter how much sterilizing the dentist does, because it’s virtually impossible to sterilize three miles of empty tubules.

Root Canal Alternatives
As part of my treatment plan patients have the option to have a blood test performed to aid in determining the best products for all forms of dentistry; procedures, materials, and products. The results of the biocompatiblity test is a 70 page book devoted to the patients blood chemistry and examines all products used in dentistry. This is a valuable tool when considering the patient as a whole, not just a mouth.
Depending on the needs of the patient I will determine the best alternative to root canal therapy. Biological dental root canal therapy uses materials, which are biocompatible with the body, to remove the infected tissue without having to remove the nerve.
