Are Root Canals Safe? How to knows if I should do a Root Canal?
Are Root Canals or Dental Implants better. Will Root Canals make you sick? Testimonial about why I had my root canals removed and replaced with Zirconia Dental Implants. Titanium vs Zirconia Dental Implants

[@eventloading1518]

I could never expect a traditional dentist to understand how root canals negatively affected my health. After my 2 root canals I went through years of unexplainable health issues. It took me a while to pin down the only reasonable cause and I am 95% sure that the root canals were the source of my issues. Never get a root canal but, your body your choice.

[@roisinmc7442]

100% agree. I had 3. Autoimmune type problems started after the first. Severe dry eyes, low white cell count, bladder infections, throat infections, rashes, severe itching. After 10 years of this 2 of the root canals developed severe painful abscesses and had been removed as urgent surgical extractions and I got the last one out last year. Dentists ruined my health, my career and I lost all my child bearing years. Absolute poison. Please if you read this never get root canals. Slowly getting my health back.

[@tedschmidt3288]

I've had three and ended up with arterial blockage problems though there were some other things that I'm sure contributed to that. I remember reading a study where they did an autopsy on people with root and they found in 100% of the subjects had infections equal or worse than botulism. On one of my root canals I went back to the local dental board and ask for my money back because he botched the job up. The dentist was like 80 years old and should have retired. The reason I'm actually posting right now is my son came back for the dentist and they said he needs a root canal on one of his back teeth. I said based on my experience if they do it the same way as they did when I was younger then I wouldn't do it again I would look for alternative options.

@@tedschmidt3288 hello, Ted I am also confused if I wanted to root canal because that was retreatment of root canal therapy because it got infected. Most people say it’s totally safe and saves the tooth no matter what. I am really confused if you give me your opinion I will be very much appreciated.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

I fail to see how any of this is "natural". You would think that by now the technology would be there to do a tooth transplant using a real tooth with healthy roots. I really am curious why nothing has changed in this industry for 20 some years.

[@JS-ob4oh]

Nothing has changed for more than 100 years. Root canals were being done as far back as 1920s. All they did today is to refined old techniques and invent new diagnostic tools in order to use the established methods. Why no change? Money. Dentistry today is not about best possible care for patients, but a business on how to sell to the most number of people who will need to comeback again, and again for re-treatment. The ADA claims "majority of root canals lasts a lifetime", but gives no data to support that nor define "lifetime". For example, if someone who is 65 years old gets root canal and dies at 79, that is a "lifetime" of 14 years. And since the older you are the more likely you will develop some sort of teeth problems and need something like root canals, does that mean "majority" of people who get root canals don't last 30 years because most of them would had died before the root canal fails?

[@dandyfi4076]

Unfortunately I find myself in a situation were I have one tooth with advanced resorption and another with a severe ache that has significantly subsided but not back to normal. Neither root canals or implants seem like very good options to me. I don’t want a dead tooth in my mouth but neither do I want a metal or ceramic screw in my jaw, although ceramic sounds slightly better than titanium. I have decided to follow a regenerative dentists protocol for now in hopes that my body, teeth, can heal themselves given the proper support. This video gives me doubts about going the implant route since this woman doesn’t seem like a real patient and looks like she is reading from a script the way she looks slightly to the left of the camera, and sounds like she is making a marketing video.

[@SereneOrthodontics]

Everyone is selling something aren’t they, but this was not scripted and it is a real patient who got a ceramic implant. I understand your feelings but if it is a tooth you need/want, what else are you going to do? Bridges damage teeth. Dentures are not functional. The implant is the lesser of all the “evils” i you leave a missing tooth space all your teeth will shift. marylandholisticdentist.com/what-if-i-do-not-get-dental-implants-replace-teeth/

Extraction is more cheaper yes but more painful and in the long run can cause issues it widens gaps in teeth and also the smile and teeth alignment is affected root canal has its default bad things too but if it can be saved why not try that

[@Goosewitdajuice317]

Precisely. A root canal should only be done with the intent of within 20 years getting an implant.

[@caseymyhro3769]

My dentist gave me those two options, but I don't have the expertise to make that decision. All I know is that my tooth is infected all the way to the root and is causing immense pain. I don't see why I'd want to keep a tooth that is infected. It seems like getting it extracted would prevent any future infection. Not to mention, if I got a root canal, I essentially have a dead tooth in my mouth. At that point, saving your real tooth doesn't really seem important. What I do know is that when the dentist told me my options, he seemed more confident about extraction versus a root canal.

[@SereneOrthodontics]

It seems like you are properly informed. Good luck.

[@nancyk5203]

How are you now?

[@billjoe39]

My opinion only, but I believe infection and/or pain can be held 'at bay' with anti-inflammatory foods, in raw form, incorporated into the diet......garlic, ginger, capsaison in red pepper powder form, etc. Eating too much processed foods will likely trigger or aggravate the pain.

an implant is also a dead piece of metal or zirconia, plus ceramic, and you like that put in your bone?

[@SereneOrthodontics]

Not really but it’s much better than a dead tooth full of rubber, sealer, fungus, bacteria. All we are asking implants to do is be biocompatible and neutral.

[@xenobob2773]

But an implant does not have 6-8 miles of microtubules where bacteria can fester and constantly infect. Lesser of two evils and all that.

Implants are not natural but often healthier than a root canal

[@billjoe39]

It's the potential for bacteria accumulation, in an essentially dead, closed off part of the mouth, that could be the problem. A study i read about, on cancer tutor, mentioned practically all the Swiss women subjects testing positive for breast cancer, had previously had root canals performed. Read about the dentist who performed 23 root canals on a single women patient, unnecessarily. So malpractice is another issue here.

Believe it or not some people react to zirconia and not titanium. There are titanium implants that do not contain nickel and other alloys. Everyone’s situation is different but for some a titanium implant is the lesser evil than no implant. That’s where testing and treating patients in a holistic way he becomes Very important.
