Don't get a ROOT CANAL before watching this!

[@DrmrJef]

A root canal kills the tooth and then you have dead tooth in your mouth. Each tooth has over 2 miles of tubules or "canals" in the tooth that will house bacteria in your tooth since the blood supply has been removed during the root canal. This will always leach in to your system and can affect your organs over time. I had a root canal and for 10 years I had ear nose and throat infections every couple of months. I would take antibiotics and get better then start the process all over again. My doctor and dentist ran tests and both said I was fine but could not explain why I would catch everything from everyone and end up with infections non stop. After fighting with my dentist to pull the tooth, he sent me to a orthopedic surgeon who put me on a dental CT machine. Within 10 minutes of being there, he came in and told me that my tooth was infected all they way down in to my bone. He pulled the tooth and I have not had a single infection since then and it's been about 7 years. I never get sick now either even when my kids are getting sick and I actually have a lot of vacation time again which used to be negative. There was a great article explaining all this that recently disappeared so that is why I am taking the time to right this. I told another person about this and her uncle had been getting sick and could not figure out why. She told me that he had just had a root canal. She told him and he had his tooth removed and was well again in next to no time. The threat is real. I am so glad I found out why and life is so much better not being sick so much. Best of luck to you if you are reading this!

Thanks for your comment, a dentist was trying to rush me onto a root canal with no other options and even in the x-ray there is still tooth material away from the nerve! I have no pain, sensitivity or anything indicating my nerve is damaged, no other tests were done to determine if a root canal was necessary. The doctor basically looked at the x-ray, peaked into my mouth and said "oh! Were gonna have to do a root canal and put a crown on." I'm feeling like it's a money thing too!

Removing the nerves from inside your teeth is a MUCH more painfull and complex procedure in comparison to a simple filling wich in some cases dont even require local anesthesia.

So I am told I need my first root canal. I have so many questions. 1. why can't they just use antibiotics to clear up the infection and NOT have to hollow out my tooth? 2. when they take the pulp out, how does the tooth get nourished without the pulp, blood flow, etc that they remove? 3. My tooth has been sensitive to pressure for over a year now - from the moment my dentist filled a small cavity that was below the gum line on the front surface of #19. In all that time, this sensitivity has not gotten worse but it has not gotten better. I hesitate to get my tooth hollowed out (and thus weakened?) when this sensitivity has not gotten any worse over time. Maybe I don't really need a root canal? 4. I have been on Alendronate (for osteoporosis) for 3+ years now. Should I go off this medicine between getting a root canal? 5. I have been rinsing with warm salt water 3-4 times a day since my dentist told me I may need this root canal. I read that warm salt water can help clear up a tooth infection.

[@cameronmartin931]

Once you have an infection basically the nerves and blood vessels are already dead or dying. You have to remove them or else they will just rot in there and be a continuing source of re-infection. Antibiotics can't fix this on their own, you have to remove the source.

​​​@@vikas8049 I had the tooth extracted 4 weeks ago. I did chicken out of of my first endodontist consult but by end of May I was having constant ache and pus would come up from the gum line. That scared me into going for the consult. Endodontist did exam and CT scan. Found a hole in the root (bone resorption). Said root canal would likely fail. Advised extraction. Saw oral surgeon for that but had to wait to be off OP meds for two months before extraction.

There is a real issue in the US with Medicaid and Medicare not covering these procedures. In Georgia all that Medicaid covers for adults is extraction (even for teeth that don't really need pulling).

[@caseymyhro3769]

My dentist gave me the option of a root canal or extraction, 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.

[@Catonzo]

I got a root canal some six months ago. One of the least painful dentist experiences I have ever had.. and that is to say there was no pain whatsoever during the procedure itself. There was a minor discomfort during the part where he melted the rods that are inserted into the roots, but that's more from the heat transfer to the healthy teeth flanking the tooth getting the treatment. The tooth itself, naturally, felt nothing. This was done on the first tooth behind the upper right canine. I did not get a crown for this procedure. It was just treated as a regular, if longer, cavity fix. The main source of tears would have been the cost. It was some ~$800 total for two roots on the same tooth. However I was relieved when it was done. I had gone with an uncomfortable pressure at the root of my tooth for easily 7-8 years. I believe some filling I had gotten earlier had managed to kill the nerves, so I actually did a big part of the root canal with no anesthetics. Not the cleaning of the roots part, but the drilling down to the very end of the root. It was the initial treatment before the main one. He made sure I could feel nothing. Using the electric impulses. Heat. Poking at the nerves. I felt nada. For all I knew he was just carefully grazing the top layer of the tooth with a feather and it felt no different. That was my experience with root canals. No pain. No reason to fear anything. Just the cost is a bit unfortunate, but it is a highly specialized procedure that should actually be possible to avoid relatively easy as long as you just keep a decent oral hygiene.

After working in the dental field for many years, it would have to be a cold day in hell before I would ever have a root canal. Just because it is done, does not make it healthy. There is no other instance when a necrotic part of the body is kept, if it is dead, because it is removed. No tooth can be sealed microscopically, and often dentists cannot negotiate the canals, especially if foot tips are not straight. Buyer be warned! After managing to break a couple of gold crowns on molar teeth, due to a very heavy bite, I prefer a gold bridge, preferably an old fashioned sanitary bridge. I have gold as well as ceramco crowns, two of which have been held on without cement for more than forty years. Such a great investment! High quality is always worth the price!

My childhood dentist told me I needed a root canal because I had a bump around my gum (I now believe it was a callous from my retainer). He sent me to another dentist to have it done even though my dentist had done root canals. The other dentist told me it would take about 45 minutes for the whole procedure. And, he had taken X-rays. Nevertheless, over an hour into the procedure, I asked why it was taking longer than the allotted time. He answered that my tooth had done its own root canal. Apparently, our own body can heal itself and do what needs to be done. So, I asked him why would he create an artificial root canal if my body had already done it (apparently he had already drilled through my calcified tooth, according to him). He told me that he had issues with his tooth when he was younger and didn’t want me to go through it, too. He didn’t disclose everything before the procedure. I still have that small callous, and that tooth has slowly moved out of place which has allowed the other teeth to move out of place as well. All those years of retainers and braces still didn’t stop that tooth from shifting. No disclosure about what would happen after the fact. 🤨😡

Never had a root canal but as a great example, a friend had 7 of them + crowns. He got them 24 years ago, zero problems to this day. Testament to how far a dentist who knows what they're doing goes. Meanwhile I had one of my extractions fail; I got dry socket (unimaginably painful, literal 11/10 pain if ever it existed and whoever invented that paste is a saint), which then turned into a nightmarish systemic infection - through no fault of the dentist, I was just too rough with the clot and dislodged it then didn't clean it diligently enough. There are risks to everything. You introduce bacteria into your bloodstream every single time you draw blood, doesn't matter if it's a tiny papercut or what and yet you obviously aren't dead or sick 24/7. You're infinitely more likely to get an infection from a cut than a properly sealed root canal. I've never understood the fearmongering about them.

Your dentist should've walked you through caring for it, pretty negligent on their part if they didn't honestly.

If properly cared for they can easily last decades.

I saw specialist. It was both.😫😫 Then one was so painful the dentist gave me all the numbing meds he could give me legally. He had one more injection and he said he was inserting needle down center of tooth and it would hurt but that would be it. He injected and OMG it hurt so much i jumped up swung my arms out and struck him. But that ended pain. Another was so painful that when i got to dentist finally that when he gave me injection i feĺl asleep. WWII kids had poor diets and poor dental care. I have an infected tooth for which i am taking anti- biotics. I need root canal. Back tooth. If you need a root canal or have an infected tooth, take it seriously. The infection can spread and mess up jaw bone, move to sinuses, and because infection is filtered by kidneys it can cause a UTI. You will feel so much better.

Root canal is done when a dentist drives a car he can't really afford. And the payment on it is due. And a "sucker" walks in his office. I say this. It's not if a root canal fails. It's when will it fail. Never seen one last without having some kind of issue. And they are expensive as hell. Then they fail on a Friday after 5pm. That way you have to deal with it all weekend long. By Monday it's well on it's way to being infected. So the dentist has to see you. To say, Yep it's infected. We're gonna give you an antibiotic. And we will see you in a week. Pay at the desk. Then come back and drop another 1500.00. Wait two weeks. And then get a crown. I say fuck that. Pull the damn thing and move on.

Please never, ever get a root canal! Conventional dentists know absolutely nothing about holistic health. Don't listen to them. Avoid them. Rather see a reputable biological dentist. Everything is very well explained in the Root Cause rocumentary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXe3i2V5r5aom7M

On my 13th birthday I had lower back molar extracted. Dentist chipped tooth next to it and pulled it. No caps back then. And the drills were so awful. No root canals either.

It seems like there is a fare amount of fear mongering from dentists about needing root canals. I saw a regenerative dentist and have been following his protocol to increase the health of my teeth and the acute tooth ache I was having greatly subsided. There is still some sensitivity but I wonder if my tooth will continue to heal itself if I continue with this protocol. When conventional dentist say you need a root canal they never give any evidence as to why your tooth wont heal itself or the chances that it may be ok without rct and just practicing good oral hygiene and nutrition.

Dentist did a root canal on me. Ruined my jaw- teeth and instilled a pure phobia of dentists in my now that I simply can not shake off. My teeth now are a shambles but I’m petrified of the dentist now and can’t even get in the car to go there now

Root canal gave me chronic fatigue. Don’t do it.

I've spent over 10K on my teeth over the years. with 5 Root canals. All are now totally rotten and abscessed. Can't afford to get them pulled out now. wish I never listened to the dentist. Originally asked for them to be pulled out... but the dentist always says ' we like to save teeth'! Now my teeth rotten, my breath is foul and I'm worse off. Just get them pulled out!!

Do some dentist purposely leave decay behind to increase their profit?

[@romadelara3251]

I guess so :/ nowadays you can not trust them.

I am desperate for some real dental advice!!! :( To anyone that can spare their time and expertise: I had a Root Canal 4 months ago on a “hot tooth” molar #30 that was so sensitive, I couldn’t even be numb the whole way. The procedure itself was traumatic and painful. About 5 weeks ago, the pain came back. I went to my dentist and they suggested it was the crown being too big, they adjusted and the pain came back days later. I went in again, and they adjusted the crown further, insisting it wasn’t an infection. Pain, again, came back days later. Finally they took a CT Scan that showed a canal was missed, so I had a retreatment done later that week. For the first 3 days, I felt absolutely great! Then the pain came back worse than ever in the middle of the night, so bad that I went into the ER for a stronger painkiller. I was desperate for a 2nd opinion, so I went to another dentist that morning and he prescribed me steroids for inflammation, and a narcotic to help me get through the next few nights. The pain significantly subsided over that week, and the “hot tooth” feeling has finally gone away, but my tooth is still sensitive to touch and I definitely can’t chew on it. Today was my 2-week post retreatment check-up, my endodontist at my regular dentist office took another CT Scan and sat with me to show what she looks for. She insists there is zero infection present (she prescribed me antibiotics just in case) and that the root canal looks successful. She said although it may be frustrating to hear, she really wants to save the tooth and to asked me to wait 2-more weeks to see if it “heals”, as retreatment can be more invasive than the initial root canal. At what point do I go for extraction? I’m able to get by the day with regular Advil at this point (before I needed tramadol to get through the night) but shouldn’t I be concerned the tooth is still sensitive to wiggle 2-weeks after treatment? I should add, the man that performed the root canal to begin with did NOT perform the retreatment. I absolutely refused to go to him being he has rough hands and zero sympathy with trying to get me properly numbed. I appreciate anyone that’s taken the time to read this today,

[@sidecarmisanthrope5927]

Do some serious research on why you should never get a root canal treatment. Even the dentist that invented the procedure says you should not do it. You may have life long health issues if you do. My wife is a surgeon and last week she had a tooth removed rather than have root canal. It is possible that you could suffer for decades with health problems that you do not realise are related to the root canal.

[@nataliem7671]

@@sidecarmisanthrope5927 thank you for your comment! I ended up making the decision to have it removed. It was an emotional roller coaster because even than, my dentist kept insisting we could save it, so there was always that part of my brain asking if I was making the right choice. It’s been 6 weeks since it was yanked and this is the first time I’ve felt relief in a long time. I’m positive it was the best decision for this specific tooth.
