Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 I just spoke to my dentist about this, because I was having some pain in a tooth which has a crown, and I was very concerned. He said the root may be dying or maybe I am just grinding away on it too hard at night. He went on to say the whole root canal procedure has greatly improved over recent years. Laser which has greatly reduced the risk of infection. I'm sure there is much more to know about this than I gleaned from our short conversation. Perhaps a look around on a search engine under root canal laser, might give you more information.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hi Sheila, thanks for your reply-i am actually having the same problem as you with the same possible causes. my husband did have the root canal today--i think for him (he's got lots of them) it wasn't as big a deal as it would be for me, as i have none so far. he was quite happy with the dr. (who in fact called tonight to see how he was doing) and the procedure. however, i need to keep learning about this for future reference. thanks again. sonya Re: root canals I just spoke to my dentist about this, because I was having some pain in a tooth which has a crown, and I was very concerned.

I don't know what the " usual " causes are, but I was told 10 years ago that I'd need a root canal becaus the nerve got damaged when the tooth was split. It was split for some time, and painful -- they capped it, but said that it would likely cause pain and when the pain got bad enough, get a root canal. Well, it DOES cause pain sometimes, but not terribly bad and it's actually gotten better lately on NT etc. If the problem is only nerve pain, then nothing is going " bad " (as it would be if there was an abcess). I don't know why mine got better, but I think that when I started taking vit. C and B, and avoiding gluten, all my teeth " tightened up " (they don't move at ALL any more) and that likely fixed the nerve issue. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most root canals are done to teeth that had cavities that went to long to be filled. (So you could avoid degenerative diseases by getting to the dentist regularly!) Next in line are injuries, usually motor vehicle accidents, that crack the tooth and expose the pulp. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a website where a somewhat anti- (but not totally) root canal familiar with Price's research said he'd tried biocalex with his patients and had some problems-- I believe the teeth often cracked because of it. However, there is some irony in your endodontist's enthusiasm for gutta percha, which invariably shrinks after it seals, and so never fully fills the tooth.

Why would he push the root canal? a, It would probably make more sense in either scenario to rip the tooth out and put a bridge in, barring accessibility to one of the new alternatives such as laser, supposedly a good alternative. The reason you would do a root canal is to clean out the infection. The root can effectively be " dead " while still providing plenty of food to the infectious organism, and if the infection is not cleaned out over a long time it will eventually just eat away your tooth and it will collapse more or less. The reason your dentist is opting for a root canal rather than taking the tooth out is because there are clear advantages to having your natural teeth. Real teeth are superior to fake teeth in terms of holding the gum/bone structure together, being able to chew a wide variety of foods, etc. If laser is truly a good way to avoid the harmful effects of traditional root canals while keeping your natural tooth, it is undoubtedly the best choice, but so far it is new, rather experimental, but the anecdotal evidence so far looks good. What your dentist doesn't understand is that there are serious complications of root canals, and as someone you has a tendency to rashes, and furthermore as someone who will have just had a baby you are undoubtedly prime material for adverse reactions and the establishment of a systemic infection. While there are advantages to having natural teeth, having one bridge will not affect to a significant degree your ability to chew celery-- having one bridge is not like having dentures. I highly advise you not to get the root canal, especially after having a baby. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Roy, I'm not trying to talk you out of what ever you have decided, but there is a test that can be done when the removal of root canals or cavitations is done. It is done to determine the amount of toxins that are continually leaking into your system. You would probably be shocked to know just what your liver and kidneys are having to try to eliminate from your body. Just find a doc/holistic dentist who can explain this to you so that you make an informed decision.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Patty, I have had a lot of root canals, going back to when I was 17 (that one failed a few years later). I do believe that many of us should never have them, and it is often better to lose a tooth than have them. I have the same issue, and it is root canals or dental implants (from my research, dental implants are the lesser of the two evils). Then there is the issue of dentures vs. implants, and since the palate has to breath, then which is better? I have lost three teeth in the last two years that all had root canals years ago, now I have three more teeth acting up, one has had a root canal, two have not and they want to do root canals. Personally, I am leaning toward another dental implant vs. more root canals. I do not want dentures as they can be made of very toxic material and the palate has to breathe, also they can be so problematic with proper fit. But little by little, I am losing my back teeth. So, what would I do, I think I would have that tooth pulled if it is in back and see if your health improves. But only you can make that decision.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hi dear Lea, I think is far better off than either of us, since he never had breast implants! LOL I, too, read about dental infections and heart issues, and became concerned about the long term implications. But when I mentioned it to the oral surgeon I consulted with, that is when he told me it sounded like I was doing " too much reading on the internet. " Oh, that kind of intellectual snobbery makes my blood boil! There is a difference between a root canal and a crown. The root canal is done to remove the infection and dead tissue that goes deep into the roots. They remove the pulp, nerves and everything inside the tooth that makes it alive. Basically, they leave a dead tooth in the mouth. This makes it brittle as it no longer receives or gives nutrients. The brittleness is what creates a need for a crown. The crown sits over the top of the tooth, protecting it and giving it a hard protective covering. Basically it is a fake tooth that rests over the original tooth, which gives it the support it needs. I don't know what options there are for us who have suffered from implants. I already decided that dental implants are out. That doesn't leave much room for anything else. I hope your feels better! Love, Patty > > Honey, thank you for this because is having root canals done (I think) and I'm worried about him. I will gave this site to our dentist, his father is an oral pathologist and is our friend as well. Yesterday when had his infected tooth suctioned out , it was rotten smelling. This could cause heart problems if it is not done right. Our dentist capped them for now and later he will have crowns. My brain is not working very well and I wonder if having crowns is the same as root canal! > > Take care and I hope you get well soon.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks so much Lynda, I value your opinion. Have you ever had a dental implant before? I worry about that stupid titanium rod sitting in the bone. My mother's experience is what gives me pause. She has titanium knee implants and got pretty sick after them, with mysterious autoimmune symptoms. Seems like I am genetically at risk. My dentist's wife said she uses the plate that fits into her lower jaw, probably much like a retainer with the teeth in the back at both ends and it balances out. One surgeon called it a fish hook on steroids. She said mine would probably feel unbalanced with only one side needing it. I would think you could do the same thing on the uppers, and not have to have a plate that doesn't allow your palate to breath. I also heard of something called a " land Bridge " . You might want to look into that....it is what I would probably want if I had my choice. What sadness that we go through so many dental issues like this. I always thought I would have great teeth! I had so few problems with mine throughout my life. Now it is becoming an icky nightmare. Ugh. I am sorry you are going through this too! Patty > >I am really getting frustrated.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Patty I have had several root canals over the years, and have wondered about them too. I have big lymph nodes under my chin that have been there for a very long time. I wonder if they are there from the root canals. Is the only option to remove your teeth? You were doing so well, and now to have all these symptoms that are so closely related to our implant issues. Why is it that MD's just don't get it!!!
