I wonder if your body was already within the parameters of getting or producing asthma, when you had your dental work, and it showed up at the same time, maybe because you were stressed a little at the the dentist? Or maybe something in the dental anesthesia, or shots, or something irritated what was already there, even if you did not know that you had asthma yet?

The only way root canaled teeth would cause asthma is if you have a

reaction to something used during the procedure, and that wouldn't

last.

Remember that once you have tooth root canaled you have to spend an

extra 700 to a thousand bucks to have it crowned or it will break

down, and then you'll have to shell out same amount to have a

specialist pull it because ordinary dentists often can't pull root

canaled teeth. So if you don't have excellent resources that you

will be able to count on over time it often is far more trouble than

it's worth.

I have and Adult onset Asthma and when I was diagnosed I

didn't have root canal, but I have a genetic

predisposition in my family and had allergy rhinitis when

I was a child...

For those of you with Adult Onset Asthma,

just wondering how many of you have root

canaled teeth? I have three root canaled

teeth myself. And no, I would never say

this could be a cause of asthma. I am

convinced that with all asthma the genetic

predisposition must be there. But I do

wonder about the theory that root canals

can challenge the immune system in people

with auto-immune conditions.
