bridge or ?? for front teeth /Re: Root canal-breast cancer link

October 11, 2009

Missing them is not an option, as it will cause the other teeth to move and

crowd. I knocked out my two front teeth multiple times growing up, had root

canals on each, my body is currently reabsorbing them, and I have been looking

into replacement options for a number of years and trying to save up the needed

money to get the procedure done.

The looseness is probably reabsorption of the tooth, which begins inside the

gums and works out until one day it just falls out... I know, sounds

unpleasant, which is why I am trying to plan mine for before that happens but

the procedure for implants is expensive, especially if done by a well-qualified

person, and it sounds like something in life that skimping on just doesn't make

sense.

Per bridges, I am opposed after much research. This procedure, from what I have

read and talked through other dentists with, permanently damages other

surrounding teeth.

Implants seem to be the best way to go in an otherwise bad situation. I have

seen some people raise concerns about the body's electrical/magnetic fields, but

otherwise if you work with a good dentist or prothstodontist (sorry for the

wrong spelling, it is very early here), I have been impressed by the short and

longer term results.

saying there's a link between root canals and breast cancer, specifically - in

one study 100% of women with breast cancer had had root canals. Wow.

legs. I found out recently that belly button pain can be associated with

inflammation in the appendix so I guess we're lucky it never burst. You know

when it got better? When he had a tootsie roll and pulled the cap off (he

didn't tell me and I didn't notice for many months).
