Root Canal is not the worst thing there is

Just wanted to put a positive post about my root canal experience, in
case anyone - like me - came to this site for reassurance that's it's
not so bad. While my dentist could do the procedure, I decided to see
an endodontist, and he was outstanding.  They said my appointment would
just be an hour - but I was a skeptic, I'd heard root canals can be an
all day affair.

I took a sedative, which made me sleepy, but I was still anxious.  When
I got in for my procedure I also used nitrous.  Simply a dreamy
combination.  The entire thing - including the wait time for my
novacaine to kick in was 1 hour on the nose.  Honestly the drilling
took 10 minutes, max.  My tooth and jaw are a little sore now, but 2
advil resolved that.

I had a crown put in a month ago (the whole reason for this root canal
in fact) and that took over 2 hours - way more drilling, waiting, etc.

I am simply so pleased with my experience that I had to share.
Hopefully my experience was not too out of the ordinary, but really -
it was no worse than getting a filling, other than the anticipation of
it being something much worse.  If I had it to do again, I might skip
the sedative, but the nitrous - keep it comin'.

 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.

Who will hopefully ignore it and continue to get appropriate treatment
for their dental problems.

Never mind Peter, he follows me with his stalking.

Sure there is.  A good soaking of sodium hypochlorite.

And if your body's immune system isn't strong enough to defend against
whatever miniscule amount of bacteria that may or may not remain after the
NaOCl soaking, then you've got other problems to worry about besides your
teeth.

But don't let my educated dental opinion get in the way of your silly
hysteria. Carry on.

Yeah it might not hurt your head but it sure as hell will hurt your pocket..
