RE: root canal?

September 8, 2004

Has anyone on this list had a root canal and, if so, had any problems stemming from it? Do you know if biocalex or gutta-percha was used? I am facing root canal and trying to sort out my options.

I've had two of them. One about 20 years ago and another one just last year. No problems that I know of. I don't know anything about biocalex or gutta-percha. Both teeth seem to be fine, though.

Jo,

First, can you write a bit bigger... it is hard to read your posts... Second, yes I have had a root canal... No real problems... I feel a bit sensitive once in awhile where it is.. but no infections etc.. I don't know what was used... I had the option of another tooth being put in... sometimes I wonder if that would have been better... 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of another... this was about 5-6 years ago.

I had a root canal many, many years ago -- long before I knew not to! -- and the dentist used gutta-percha. I've been told it's like a walking time bomb in my mouth and, although I wouldn't do it again, it has not so far ::knock wood:: caused me any problems.

Go with the latest technology, though, if you absolutely MUST have one done.

Try tea tree oil as well...it helps relieve the pain; also a clove of garlic between gum and cheek....I wish I had the QX before I had all my root canals done, so i don't know any protocol....I would like to know if anyone has been able to regrow a lost tooth with the program...I hear it's possible!

Hello –

I would like more info on the dental

program also – but I have used the

“dental root” program in the

disease dictionary and also I typed in “root canal”

In the search test page and zapped all the

dental things that cam up and zapped

Cavitites.. and I had a client who

reported that it saved him from doing a root canal –

So apparently that worked and did

something..

Hi,

I have the QXCI and was wondering what I could do

to help save a tooth

that needs a root canal. I have removed all

my amalgams and only have

1 root canal. I really would like to try and

avoid another one if

possible. Has anyone used the dental program

with success in this?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm

A little off the subject, low direct current with electrodes placed

on each side of the infection works fine, and so does the Beck

magnetic pulser. So if the QXCI doesn't do it and you need a backup,

you'll get about 100% success with either of those two methods.

bG, before you consider root canal you will do your research, won't you?

Many experts in the health field are advising against them.

They are found to end up being a source of deepseated infection, though people

with zillas have a better tool than most of the general population against such

things.

I have to agree. I just lost the last 10 of my teeth just over a week ago due to

an infection I had below my gum line. Guess where it began? In the tooth that I

had the roots canaled. It also was the most difficult of the remaining teeth for

the dentist to extract. He had to literally break and dig, break and dig, crack

and pull until he finally got it completely out. He said that root canaled teeth

are the most difficult teeth to extract as they become hollow and brittle.

Anyhow, I ended up getting immediate dentures due to that infection I previously

mentioned. During the times that I had my real teeth, they quickly became

infected and abscessed, causing great pain. During those times I used the

microelectricity to kill the pain and it was usually gone in a day or two. I had

several dentists tell me that I should have a root canal with a bridge. I kindly

told them, " no, pull the tooth " and I undoubtedly saved about $500 per tooth.

What really stuck in my craw was the fact

that the majority of these dentists knew that I had some sort of infectious

disease and still wanted to give me root canals. This last dentist who put the

dentures in my head was the only dentist that really knew what I was up against

and knew what had to be done ASAP. Anywho, I was very relieved those days I was

in severe pain and no pain pill in the world could have done what the

microelectricity did. So, if I had to do it all over again, I would do it just

like I did. Microelectricity works and works well in this kind of situation.

Thanks for this gift of healing!

So your root canal is not cured? So are you saying he

infection is still there , but it is not creating pain

for you?

well there's no alternative to a root-canal, no realistic one, if you

want to keep your tooth, I think. I have a few root canals already

and never had any issues with them..none.

remember; lots of people don't know how to send a small electric

current into an area and remove a germ without harm. They think a

root canal will get infected since ther's no way to pump a drug into

the small areas around the plug that hide germs.

But, look, reasonably, if I have an abcessed tooth or just a

toothache it's an infection, and if the electric device kills it off,

keeps if from bothering me for months or even years, it can easily

kill off any germs in a root canalled tooth, I would think. After a

root canal, the main part of the tooth is inert. A good root canal

is filled solidly and is hard to infect. But still, if it does get

infected the same electricity that fought the toothache without the

benefit of the root canal, can then fight easier the infection with

the root canal in place. It is just rubber they put inside your

tooth where the nerve/pulp was. Rubber does not get infected, but it

takes up space that germs would otherwise get into. So it reduces

the surface area of an infection, the " fuel " an infection needs to

burn so to speak. Rubber isn't subject to germs.

I think without any electricity root canals could be trouble,

especially if they are not done very well. But with electricity it

seems like they would be a good thing now, not a bad thing, even to

the harshest critics of them. They are simply saying the things are

garbage traps that you don't need. Ok, well we can empty the garbage

now, and the tooth is a good friend to have, especially if you're

like me and just LOVE great food! You see my bias, here?

If you want the best meals to taste best, you need your teeth. So

don't rob yourself of them! Dr has people yank out their teeth

if they have root canals in them, due to infection. Ok, well we can

fix that without losing the tooth now, why yank them now?

Electricity in tiny amounts seems to remove the problem, why remove

the tooth?

If electricity did not work, I would agree, but for me it seems to

work, especially in the hands of anyone with a little experience with

it. It's not rocket science, but you need to learn the few simple

tricks to get the most out of it. Even clumsily you can still do

quite well, I know I did. In the last 7 years I've made mistakes but

they never were repeated. I went from 36 volts to 6. I stayed

there. It worked the same, so who needs a power trip? Even 3.5

volts is still quite good, just you can't find a battery in that

range.

I now have no pain in that tooth. And no root canal. I hope that

continues, but if I finally do need one, okay, not the end of the

world.

Furthermore, if I do have root canals and be sure to occasionally

fight off possible latent infections with electricity, won't that

also make the body stronger and the root canal have more integrity

than if it's being subjected to germs and chemical actions they

produce? I really think so.

Hey, you yank em if you wanna. Not me, baby!

Not sure if you are replying to me or not. Yes I am cured as I have had all of

my teeth pulled and dentures put in due to an apparent bad case of periodontal

disease. I was saying that one of the teeth that I had pulled had a root canal

done on it a few years ago but was the most difficult for the dentist to

extract. This was, he said, due to the the canals of the roots being " hollowed "

out and becoming brittle over the last few years and literally breaking apart as

he tried extracting them. I also said, for me, it is another reason why root

canals are really not worth having done.

As far as the pain I was having in my teeth, I was treating that with the

microelectricity. It worked great! I hope that answers the questions you asked.

If not, let me know more specifically what you are wanting to know.

I agree about keeping our original teeth. I wish I could have done something

sooner to have the periodontal disease treated PROPERLY but that did not happen.

Unfortunately, it had set in too deeply and attacked my teeth below the gum line

causing lots of damage in a very short period of time. That is why I really had

no other choice.

Anyhow, if possible, keep your original teeth " maintained " and healthy. But if

they are " diseased " and there is no way to save them but to have root canals, I

would rather have the extraction instead of paying out a lot of money, twice.

Treating the pain that I was having with microelectricity was definitely the

better option as it got to the areas that I needed it to. But I was unable to

kill off the periodontal disease. Take care and keep up the good work you are

doing!
