Re: Dental issues - opinions please :)

I would do the second choice. Pull the tooth. It isn't ever going to be the

tooth it used to be. Save the ones that you can save.

root canal. In light of Weston A. Price and others' work on the subject, my

thought is " nope, tooth is coming out " . I've already lost 3 teeth, don't want

to lose another (especially since it's a back molar and I can't get a bridge

since there isn't another tooth behind it. Also, implants are a no-go for me,

no more metal in my mouth!). But I do have other dental problems and I'm

leaning towards cutting my losses with this tooth. Have it extracted and put

the money I would use for a root canal towards the other teeth that need work so

hopefully I won't lose another.

with healing, is it possible to get to a point where the tooth would be ok with

a crown? If so, how long would I need to wait to see significant healing?

The dentist Dr. Hansen can often save a tooth when others dentists say it

needs a root canal because

he uses lasers to clean up the root to save it.

I was thinking of you when I posted this cuz I know you are very familiar with

Weston A. Price and Sally Fallon. And I figured that's the way you would go too.

That's really interesting, thank you! Even a holistic dentist is more than 2

hours away from me, doubt I could get there, let alone CA. UGH. Would be so

nice if it turned out that it *was* a viable tooth that could be saved though.

Yes, I agree with Weston Price and Sally Fallon and I have improved following

their advice. I hope that you can find a holistic dentist who will clean out

what is left behind when your tooth is pulled. Pour on some colloidal silver to

kill any infection. It sure helped with my ongoing sinus infection.
