The same ones who stated mercury amalgams do not leak, when they got caught in
that lie, they made up a bigger one

===========

The legal position of the American Dental Association (ADA) on the safety of
mercury containing dental amalgam and the use of the material by dentists in
the United States was recently stated as follows:

"The ADA owes no legal duty of care to protect the public from allegedly
dangerous products used by dentists. The ADA did not manufacture, design,
supply or install the mercury-containing amalgams. The ADA does not control
those who do. The ADA's only alleged involvement in the product was to provide
information regarding its use. Dissemination of information relating to the
practice of dentistry does not create a duty of care to protect the public from
potential injury".

Root Canals. 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.

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.

Of course Steve tells nursing mothers there is no danger of getting dental work
done, that most definitely incorrect.

Brodin P Roed A Aars H Orstavik D [J Dent Res (1982 Aug) 61(8):1020-3 ]
Inhibitory effects of root filling materials on the conduction of action
potentials evoked in rat phrenic nerves were evaluated in vitro. Endomethasone
and N2 Normal completely and irreversibly inhibited conductance; ProcoSol
caused complete but reversible inhibition; Kloroperka N-O caused total
inhibition which was sometimes reversed; and AH26 and Diaket showed partial
inhibition which was partially reversible.

Comparative neurotoxic effects of root canal filling materials on rat sciatic
nerve.

Serper A Ucer O Onur R Etikan I [J Endod (1998 Sep) 24(9):592-4 ]
The neurotoxic effects of the root canal filling materials-- Endomethasone, N2
Universal, Traitment SPAD, Sealapex, and Calciobiotic Root Canal Sealer
(CRCS)--were investigated on isolated rat sciatic nerves after local
application. All of the canal filling materials reversibly inhibited the
compound action potential (cAP) amplitudes. N2 Universal produced a 50%
inhibition in 4.2 +/- 0.2 min. Traitement SPAD, Endomethasone, and CRCS
produced the same inhibition in 6.4 +/- 0.3, 6.5 +/- 0.2, and 6.6 +/- 1.1 min,
and Sealapex in 9.2 +/- 2.0 min. The inhibitory effect of Sealapex decreased
fastest, and 43% recovery of cAP amplitude was observed in 60 to 70 min. The
inhibitory effects of Endomethasone, CRCS, and N2 Universal were more
pronounced, and 10 to 20% recovery in cAP amplitudes were observed in 2 h. The
inhibitory effect of Traitement SPAD was more persistent with 4% recovery in
2.5 h.

Most of the materials used for root canal therapy mentioned above are still in
common usage throughout the world. The argument that there are only tiny
amounts which enter the rest of the body is a nonsensical. Reality is that
there is a little bit entering the circulation all of the time. Transport of
materials from dead teeth to the rest of the body including the brain, is well
documented - there is no excuse for dentistry to continue to place these
materials into living organisms. This is particularly so considering that these
papers are published in the foremost dental journals.

Root Canals and cancer

http://www.dentistry-toothtruth.com/faq.htm#treatment

Following are some of the most common questions we receive.

How do I find a good dentist?
My dentist does not believe mercury fillings are bad but will change them for
me if I insist. Should I?
Where is your office?
How much does it cost?
What are the materials you use?
Do I need to replace my crowns?
I do not want to wear partials.
Why are most dentists still using mercury?
What is the worst treatment done by dentists?
Why is it critical to clean the socket after an extraction?
What are cavitations?
How do you reconcile what you do with what Dr. Clark recommends?
What about the bacterium Clostridium?
What should I use to detox?
Should I drink fluoridated water?
What should I use for toothpaste?
Will my insurance pay for changing my fillings?
What does it cost more than the "usual and customary fee" to have fillings
done?
Q: How do I find a good dentist?

A: It is not possible for me to recommend specific dentists, as I do not know
what any individual dentists will do, but I will tell you where you can find
lists of dentists who have varying beliefs.

It is important to inquire if a dentist will do what you want done. You should
feel free to ask questions when you call. It is helpful to have your questions
written down before you call so you do not forget anything.

Q: My dentist does not believe mercury fillings are bad but will change them
for me if I insist. Should I?

A: Doing composites is much more difficult than mercury fillings. Experience is
very important. It is common for dentists who are not familiar with these
procedures to do them poorly, even leaving pieces of mercury under the
fillings. It is common for such work to have to be redone. This doubles the
expense and increases the risks to your teeth. It is also very probable that
you will be exposed to more mercury than would be the case with a dentist who
takes the proper precautions. Therefore, it would be beneficial to find a
dentist with specific experience with composites.

Q: Where is your office?

A: My office is one hour directly south of Indianapolis, IN on I-65. 639
Washington Street Columbus, IN 47203 1-812-376-8525

Q: How much does it cost?

A: The costs vary so much it is impossible to give any estimates without seeing
the patient. It is critical that you plan to get all the mercury out and not
let a dentist talk you into crowning your teeth so that you run out of money
before finishing. A plan must be made that you can understand everything and be
sure that you can afford the costs before you start. Doing half will not remove
half of the risk.

Q: What are the materials you use?

A: Espe was bought out by 3M. Visiofil was suddenly removed from the market
last month because they wanted to streamline their product line. Finding a
suitable replacement will not be easy. Compatibility testing may be the only
way for an individual to find a material that is acceptable. I will post any
new developments.

Crowns are Sculpture/Fibrekor or Targis/Vectris. Partials are made with
Flexite. Dentures are methyl-methacrylate (clear with some pink for
appearance).

Q: Do I need to replace my crowns?

A: We do not insist that patients do anything but all crowns have major
problems. Most have metals which are of unknown composition. Even gold crowns
have many other metals combined with the gold. Even if the metals are known,
most are not really pure and have tagalong impurities which vary greatly. It is
also impossible to know what is under the crowns. It is common for mercury to
be left there. You may wish to do the mercury fillings first, but if you really
want to clean your body of metals, it is necessary to remove the metal crowns.

Q: I do not want to wear partials.

A: It is common for patients to not want to wear partials. It is true that they
are a compromise and you must take particular attention to keeping your teeth
very clean. The alternatives are troublesome. Crowns, bridges, and implants all
have many problems. Using any of them may cause further damage and more loss of
tooth structure. Many people are wearing partials successfully. I have for a
decade. I would not think to have any other type of dentistry done as the risks
are too great.

Q: Why are most dentists still using mercury?

A: Most dentists take their lead from the American Dental Association which is
a trade organization of dentists who use mercury. (At one time I, too, believed
what they said about the safety of mercury). Until dentists face legal or
governmental action, they will continue using mercury which is fast and
convenient.

Q: What is the worst treatment done by dentists?

A: While mercury is toxic and can do terrible things to nerve tissue, it does
it slowly over decades. The treatment that can have the biggest and fastest
impact on the body is root canal therapy. The idea of keeping a dead, infected
organ in the body is only thought to be a good idea by dentists. A root
canal-treated tooth always negatively affects your immune system.

http://www.cfsn.com/maz/

I decided to have the tooth extracted. Below you can see photos of the root end
of the extracted tooth.

Every dental expert to whom I have shown this tooth has agreed that removing
the tooth was a very good decision. It looks to most as though the tooth and
amalgam had been under direct assault by my immune system which was carrying
the filling and tooth away bit by bit. By viewing the images below and my x-ray
from 1990, one can see noticeable amounts of material missing.

(see x-rays)

http://cnorman.best.vwh.net/blazing/dental.html

Price was able to implant extracted root canal teeth under the skin of rabbits
after removing them from patients with various illnesses. The rabbit would
become ill with precisely the same primary disease that the human tooth donor
had -- arthritis; heart lesions: kidney, liver, and gallbladder disease;
anemia; pneumonia; appendicitis; eye, ear, and skin disorders; and nervous
system disorders, among them.

Every tooth has its own capsule in the jawbone called the periodontal ligament,
which was always routinely left behind after extractions. Huggins reasoned that
the deep-seated root canal infections likely infected this ligament as well,
and conditions of chronic infection could persist even without the root canal
tooth being any longer in place. He then initiated a quick and simple routing
out of this ligament, along with about 1 millimeter of surrounding jawbone
following extractions. By following this procedure, the residual infection is
removed and the site can now heal.

http://rheumatic.org/teeth.htm

A root filled tooth no longer has any fluid circulating through it, but the
maze of tubules remains. The anaerobic bacteria that live there seem remarkably
safe from antibiotics. The bacteria can migrate out into surrounding tissue
where they can "hitch hike" to other locations in the body via the bloodstream.
The new location can be any organ or gland or tissue, and the new colony will
be the next focus of infection in a body plagued by recurrent or chronic
infections.

All of the "building up" done to try to enhance the patient's ability to fight
infections - to strengthen their immune system - is only a holding action. Many
patients won't be well until the source of infection - the root canal tooth -
is removed.

Just pulling the tooth is not enough when removal proves necessary. Dr. Price
found bacteria in the tissues and bone just adjacent to the tooth's root. So we
now recommend slow-speed drilling with a burr, to remove one millimeter of the
entire bony socket. The purpose is to remove the periodontal ligament (which is
always infected with toxins produced by streptococcus bacteria living in the
dentin tubules) and the first millimeter of bone that lines the socket (which
is usually infected).

http://zap.intergate.ca/root.html

A root canals is one of the worst things you can allow a dentist to do to you.
The book Root Canal Cover-up by Dr. George Meinig, D.D.S., F.A.C.D., reveals
that the root canal procedure traps bacteria in the dentin tubules. These
bacteria proliferate and can produce toxins that can travel all over the body
lowering the body's immune system and causing serious health problems.

http://www.dentistryholistic.com/education.html

When a dentist performs a root canal, he/she is trying to remove the dead nerve
tissue and disinfect the interior of the tooth. Many times the procedure is
successful. Many times it is not. Dentin is composed of small tubules. A
bicuspid tooth has 2-3 miles of dentinal tubules. It has been shown that the
bacteria can live in these tubules and continue to produce toxins that can get
to other parts of the body. The root canal can appear to be successful because
there is no longer any pain yet be the breeding ground for a countless number
of bacteria.

http://www.hallvtox.dircon.co.uk/hallvt.html

Root Canals. 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.
