Replace Root Canal Teeth with Metal Free Zirconia Implants
if you are on the fence about whether or not to remove your root canal teeth, this article is for you. People often wonder if infections from root canals can contribute to other health conditions such as cancer, autoimmune conditions and thyroid problems. Do you have Hashimoto’s disease? Root canals are a risk factor and removing them reduces systemic inflammation. But is it even possible to make a direct connection or know how one gets cancer from smoking? No one really knows exactly how cigarettes cause lung cancer. But it does. And we all know it. And of course not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer. Where there is smoke there is always fire, right?
Once a root canal is done it can never be reversed. When the pulp and nerve tissue inside a tooth starts dying, the tooth will either need to be extracted or a root canal procedure is necessary - it is that simple. Root canals can save teeth, but at what expense to your pocket and health? Should a dying tooth be removed instead of getting a root canal? A dental implant is an alternative to getting a root canal.

Molar Root Canals Last 5 to 10 years on the Average
This article discusses the pros and cons of root canals and how to safely remove root canals once they abscess and fail. Root canal teeth will eventually crack, break or create an infection inside your jaw. Like a dead tree, the root canal tooth becomes brittle, rots internally and leaks its infestation into the jaw and surrounding lymphatics and blood supply. They do not last forever. On the average they last 5 - 10 years before causing noticeable pain and problems. Does a root canal cost more than an implant?
Are Root Canals Unhealthy
A root canal is a filling in the root of your tooth where the nerve used to be. Prior to filling the root, the dentist cleans it as best as they can with bleach. But it is impossible to clean all the pores in the root. Over time, bacteria and fungus can grow in the tooth and leak out into the bone and surround blood supply. The immune system of healthy people will usually kill the bacteria and fungus as it leaks out. But no one really knows what happens or where this bacteria can go in your body. Root canal teeth once extracted can be tested by DNA Connexions to determine the pathogens in the tooth. Holistic dentistry considers how a procedure may impact overall health and attempts to do no harm to overall health.
zirconia dental implants
The biggest advantage of zirconia ceramic implants over titanium is zirconia is not a metal. And zirconia is white like natural teeth not a metallic gray. Besides the obvious cosmetic advantages of tooth-colored ceramic implants, titanium implants corrode in the mouth and may suffer from failure and immunological rejection.
Metal Implants Corrode and may Suffer Immunological Rejection
Metal implants made of titanium corrode slowly over time in the mouth in a rusting-like process. After all humans are practically all water and what happens when you mix metal and water? Titanium corrosion can lead to implant inflammation called peri-implantitis. The cause of the inflammation is the titanium corroding and rust-like particles leaking out into jawbone. Corrosion can lead to implant rejection.
What material is best for implants - zirconia or titanium implants? Zirconia is better for cosmetics (no gray metal) and people who have allergies and biocompatibility issues. Titanium is better for full mouth implant cases and people who clench their teeth a lot. Needless to say there are many advantages of zirconia dental implants.
