A tooth has miles of tiny canals running through the root. A dead or root filled tooth will have bacteria in these canals. There is no way of removing the bacteria once they are in there. http://www.toothwisdom.net/ Toxicity from Root Canals The next subject to be discussed are root canals and their possible source of toxicity. Approximately twenty five million Americans undergo root canal therapy every year in an effort to prevent the loss of teeth that have abscessed. The root canal is the left portion of the tooth which houses the vital organs such as the nerve and blood vessels. The dentist endeavors to clean and sterilize this canal and fill it with a sterile, non toxic inert material. This usually renders this tooth serviceable and non painful; however, the entire inner hard core of the tooth is made of dentin which has several million dentinal tubules. These tubules allow the circulation of lymphatic type fluid to circulate from the vital organs of the root canal to the outside of the tooth. This is a viable circulatory phenomenon which has a purpose. It services the periodontal ligament as well as the sensory aspect of the nerve and blood centers in the root canal. If the body chemistry is healthy, the flow of lymphatic fluid is from the root canal to the outside of the tooth. This creates an irrigation for the tooth and usually prevents the accumulation of plaque to form. When the body chemistry is not healthy, then the circulation is from the outside of the tooth to the inner root canal. This allows for no irrigation, but rather an accumulation of plaque to form. There are many more reasons for maintaining the integrity of the circulation in the dentinal tubules. Root canal therapy completely destroys this integrity, and what happens to the non-circulating fluid in these tubules? This fluid as it ages becomes stagnant and becomes a toxic substance. This porous structure now becomes a septic mass emanating poisons into the body. Is this what you want? Mercury amalgams are said to be the caskets of the body. Root canals are said to be the cadavers of the body. I do not recommend root canals for anyone. Each individual has a right to their decisions. Many people simply do not wish to lose a member of their body. I respect this, and I always discuss the consequences. The next area of discussion is whether the root canal filling actually sterilizes the apical end of the tooth. There are so many lateral canals at the root end of the tooth where bacteria can harbor that it is unlikely that a complete aseptic condition exists. This, however, is a debateable subject. Again, the complete acceptance of root canal therapy as a viable substitution for extraction is completely and whole heartedly supported by organized dentistry. You are in violation of the code of ethics if you speak out against root canal therapy. When I was a practicing dentist, I always let the patient make that decision after explaining all pros and cons.

The whole tooth is an organ. and in a root canal situation all the nerve tissue and blood vessels have been removed machanicaly and chemically with EDTA and Bleach which kill everything.

Again the blood vessels and nerves plus bacteria which intered the tooth through your blood stream were already removed by toxic bleach.

So if what you say is true than fillings and caps or crowns are bad for this natural flow because there is less surface area for this flow of lymphatic tissue and the bacteria flowing in our blood steam can not get out of our body. Also if we extract the tooth or all our teeth the lymph can not exit because we have no dentinal tubules for exchange. End result our bodies will get toxic and we will die. When the body chemistry is not healthy, then the circulation is > from the outside of the tooth to the inner root canal. The inside has been plugged up with gutta percha and resin sealer. stuff can't inter your body through the tooth. On the other hand if you do not eat toxic foods you will not have that problem. remember whatever does not get inside your tooth will take the path of least resistance and go through your GI tract. This allows for no > irrigation, but rather an accumulation of plaque to form. fisrt of all plaque is too big to inter the tooth from the outside. second this tooth is going to have a crown which will limit surface area for plaque to enter the body. Lastly plaque accumulates around teeth and periodontal pockets as well. There are many more > reasons for maintaining the integrity of the circulation in the dentinal > tubules. Root canal therapy completely destroys this integrity, So does extraction which is your other option and what > happens to the non-circulating fluid in these tubules?

I hope you discuss the consequences of loosing teeth, and inability to fully digest food due to lack of adequate breakdown. And also your thoery of the lymph not being able to get out of the body because the teeth are missing. > The next area of discussion is whether the root canal filling actually > sterilizes the apical end of the tooth.

This, however, is a debateable subject. Only with idiots like Jan Drew. > Again, the complete acceptance of root canal therapy as a viable substitution > for extraction is completely and whole heartedly supported by organized > dentistry.

Your above post. here is the entire comment. "I do not recommend root canals for anyone. Each individual has a right to their > decisions. Many people simply do not wish to lose a member of their body. I > respect this, and I always discuss the consequences." Alex, just a kind word from a fellow practitioner. Don't waste your time beating your head against the brick wall that is jD/. But if you are having fun aggravating... Well, that's your call. -- W_B wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Take out the G'RBAGE p.s. Also please explain why infection in the bone around a root canal tooth clears up after the root canal instead of getting bigger when the "flow" is reversed and stuff from outside the tooth enters the tooth through dentinal tubules and not the other way around? Also how come the PDL stays healthy when this flow is reversed?
