Re: Any suggestion on root canal and local anesthesia for a 4.5 year old boy

[Guest guest]

According to my book " Could it be B12, The Epidemic of a Misdiagnosis " says that

if you are going to have anesthesia, be sure to supplement B12, as it's used up.

If your child is already low, ask your DAN how much to supplement. The good

news is that - you can't OD on B12, it's water soluble so if it's not used, it

goes out when he pees.

The second thing I would suggest is a holistic dentist if you can afford it.

Our (my) dentist is Dr. Glaros in Houston, and he won't do root canals. He says

you should just remove the tooth. I had a very hard time with that concept, and

then he threw down the research. It's compelling. So much so, I had a

'problem' tooth removed, and a fake one put in. We did the same thing for my

brother Rob. (thank God it was only one tooth, I was fearful he would have a

mouth full of dentures.) -- He got his done in FL by Dr. .

If you are a 'reader' -- you might find the book " Nutrition and Physical

Degeneration by Weston Price (a dentist) --interesting and full of good

information. this was the source of info from my holistic dentist (that I had to

buy the book and read it.)

Also, I forgot to mention - have you heard of " Oil Pulling? " -- it's real easy,

you put about a tablespoon of sesame seed oil in your mouth (coconut works well

too) swish it for 10-20 min. Spit it out. It helps with lots of things.

(Especially helping with dental issues)

I make my brother do it. (He's 26!)

Makes your teeth whiter. I don't have stains on my teeth, and I probably should

from all the coffee I drink. (and all the blueberries I eat!)

My daughter did fine with novocaine. Just DO NOT use nitrous oxide!!

 

My son is 4.5 year old and recently he was found to have serious tooth decay in his 2 upper central incisor teeth. One is so serious that his pediatric dentist asked us to consider root canal to avoid damage to the nerves.

Any experienced parents, please give me some advice. Should I delay or avoid the root canal? If the treatment is inevitable what should I do to prepare for the treatment? We will see the dentist next week.

,

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't allow any dentist to do a root canal in your child's

mouth! I have done a lot of research on dental care and root canals, which are

dead teeth (they drill out the pulp) are VERY bad for the body. The body will

continue to try to fight it over and over and over. Dead teeth also accumulate

very dangerous pathogenic bacteria. The same bacterias that are responsible for

cancer. In fact, ALL cancer patients who have visited the Huggins clinic for

dental revision have had root canals and the same bacteria in their root canal

sites were in the tumors. This is a very serious thing to consider, so PLEASE

do the research and familiarize yourself with your options before going through

with it.

Research Hal Huggins and root canals. Oh and when I just went to my biological

dentist on Wed, she had JUST come back from a training seminar with the Huggins

clinic and they have studies proving that you do NOT need to drill all the way

down to the pulp, even if there is decay there, because regardless of whether

the cavity reaches the pulp, the pulp is still infected, so what this means is

that those fillings that are done without drilling all the way to the pulp still

stops the infection from getting worse. Encapsulating the tooth prevents the

decay from going further AND the pulp literally heals itself! No mainstream

dentist is going to know this, I promise you that. He may even look at you like

you are insane, so perhaps it's time to lay the law down telling this dentist

that you do NOT want the drilling to go near the pulp. Feel free to call my

dentist and tell her what you are up against. How you have a child with a

potential root canal and you REALLY need to know about this new knowledge. Her

name is Dr. Blanche Grube, in Scranton PA. There are very few doctors that

amaze me anymore, but this one, she knows her stuff! PS - this tooth is just

going to fall out and be replaced by another, so the alternative to leaving the

tooth is just to pull it, problem solved! That is personally what I would do

before putting any foreign materials into his mouth.

Oh and , I forgot to tell you one thing. When a person's phosphorus is

low, no matter how much brushing you do, he WILL have decay. I would encourage

you to have a nutritional panel drawn on him so you can check his levels. He

may benefit from supplementation.

Oh. Thank you . It is a very good info. I just checked my son's latest test results and he is deficient in phosphorus. Ref range shown here is 350-1700ug/mg creatinin here and my son's were 107, and then 152. No wonder why we are having so many decays. He had anesthesia 3 times already but I did not know anything about this stuff back then. He has a bad decay now and I am not going for anesthesia anymore. He also would not open his mouth for the dentist and I really do not know what to do.  Do you happen to have any idea how much of phosphorus I can give to a 7 year-old ?

[Guest guest]

Thank you . What you suggested really makes sense to me. Before I posted

my question I was so nervous about the root canal, though I could not tell why.

I will cancel the appointment, and ask the dentist just to fill the decayed

teeth or pull them out if the problem becomes too serious.

Thanks again for giving this invaluable information. I also thank and

other parents who replied.
