- A Root Canal is a treatment used to repair and supposedly “save” a tooth that is badly decayed or become infected.
- During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
- A root canal is not your only option.
- Teeth require blood supply, lymphatic and venous drainage, and nervous innervations. Root canals, now dead teeth, typically become a source of chronic bacterial toxicity.
- When dentists perform a root canal, they remove the nerve from the main canals; however, they do not have access to the microscopic side canals, which have dead nerves left behind in those spaces.
- Even antibiotics won’t help in these cases, because the bacteria are protected inside of your dead tooth.
- It appears that the longer root canal-treated teeth stay in your body, the more your immune system becomes compromised.
