Root canal or tooth pulled out?



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by Areyanna 13 yrs ago
Hi,

I just visited my dentist; it's been about a year since I last went. She wasn't happy with my teeth, but she didn't say they were that bad. Turns out I need three fillings and she gave me a choice for my cracked tooth at the back. A root canal (which I've never heard of) or to pull the tooth out. She warned me that if the tooth is pulled out I will have a big gap in my mouth forever. So can anyone direct me on which option I should take?

Thank you

For a general overview of why you should avoid root canals see the following article .......

For a more in depth take on the subject, I suggest getting the following book ...

Book excerpt .....


“While infective dental toxicity occurs in multiple settings, including root canal treated teeth, dental implants, cavitations, abscessed teeth, and periodontal disease, it would appear that root canal treated teeth do the greatest amount of damage to the health and immune systems of the greatest number of people. The very nature of the root canal procedure allows the elimination of tooth pain while still harboring a situation of chronic anaerobic infection. Eliminating the most natural warning sign of a deep-seated infection is an especially dangerous situation. And like anaerobic infections encountered anywhere else in the body, the associated infective toxicity in the root canal treated tooth can always be expected to eventually overtax the immune system of the patient. However, immune system "collapse" will often occur years after the performance of the root canal procedure, and the proper blame for the subsequent immune incompetence rarely ever gets assigned to the root canal treated tooth. A chronic degenerative disease, such as cancer, heart disease, or arthritis, just "appears" one day, and both doctor and patient alike think it is the unlucky and/or inevitable consequence of aging.”
