Sounds reasonable

that is about as true as the Big Foot Sightings

Bad idea

It could remain stable for a "while"

Depends on the individuals

That's bogus science.
Focal theory of infection, disproved decades ago.

No, chronic infection is bad for your body.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

You probably have a chronic abcess, which is usually painless, until it
shifts into an acute abcess, which is EXTREMELY  painful.  The problem you
may have is that leaving this alone, the bone degeration going on inside
your bone will expand, and gradually "eat away" more bone.  Eventually, you
will have problems with adjacent teeth, as the infection shifts/expands.  It
is impossible to say how long this will take without examining you.  A root
canal treatment on a molar is a bit more difficult, as there are usually 3
to 4 canals, and the tooth is further back in your mouth, making access more
difficult.  However, you general dentist might be able to take care of this,
depending on his/her skill.  You really need to treat the source of this
infection, and antibiotics will not "cure" this -- only removing the source
will.  You need to have this tooth have a root canal treatment or an
extraction, and the longer you wait, the worse it will become.
Eventually -- and I don't know how long it's been like this -- it will be
impossible to do root canal treatment and the the tooth will have to be
extracted.  Talk this over with your dentist and work something out.  Good
luck.

Don't expect to be told the truth here. The dangers of root canals are
denied by organized dentistry.

 ll root cancel fillings have the potential to casue bad health. This is
because, althought the nerve has been removed, bacteria still colonise in
the minute tubules of a tooth. These bacteria produce toxins which enter the
body causing potential harm.
An area of residual infection which is left under the gum, usually
following, but sometimes a long time after an extraction can cause problems.
Symptoms can be coincided with the energetic links to the body as well as
localised problems.

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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Jan

get it done.

purpose of the root canal is to remove the bacteria that is causing the
dark area under the roots by killing it with bleach.

There are cases where people have died from not treating the infection
early
see "LUDWIG'S ANGINA" It occurs when this bacteria spreads to air
spaces in your thorax and prevent breathing. Also massive tissue
gangrene occurs this condition is very dangerious and survival from it
is slim.

Does not matter. What does your dentist recommend?
