Please do not let your dentist mislead you that a root canal is your only option. It isn’t!

Teeth are similar to other organ systems in your body in that they also require a blood supply. Root canals, however, are dead teeth, and these teeth typically become one of, if not the worst, sources of chronic bacterial toxicity in your body.

If your kidneys, liver or any other organ in your body dies, it will have to be removed so that bacteria and necrosis will not set in and kill you and yet teeth are commonly left dead in your body

Teeth have roots with main canals and thousands of side canals, and contained in those side canals are miles of nerves. When dentists perform root canals, they remove the nerve from the main canal; however, they do not have access to the microscopic side canals which have dead nerves left behind in those spaces.

Anaerobic bacteria thrive in these side canals and excrete toxicity from digesting necrotic tissue that leads to chronic infection. The blood supply that surrounds those dead teeth drains this toxicity and allows it to spread throughout your body. This toxicity will invade all organ systems and can lead to a plethora of diseases such as autoimmune diseases, cancers, muskuloskeletal diseases, irritable bowel diseases, and depression to name but a few.

Even antibiotics won’t help in these cases because the bacteria are protected inside of your dead tooth. It appears that the longer root canal treated teeth stay in your body, the more your immune system becomes compromised!

So what are the alternatives?

Well, modern technologies such as ozone and laser therapies can effectively address many issues so a root canal procedure can be avoided. They can also be used to treat infected root canal treated teeth, and to safely perform a root canal when needed. If you need a route canal procedure, see an endodontist who is trained in the use of these regenerative technologies.

Even when decay and bacteria have made it all the way to the nerve tissue, laser therapy can sterilise the surface of the nerve, while ozone gas, which also kills pathogens, can actually stimulate your immune system to kick in and eradicate the remaining infection. If you have a root canal treated tooth, be sure to get a 3D cone beam scan to assess the state of the tooth and rule out infection.
