HEALTHY LIVING SPACE DETOXIFIER #33: Think Twice before Digging Another Root Canal in Your Mouth

Having a root canal “dug” in one of your teeth is generally regarded as a highly unpleasant experience by most people. It may be a miserable experience, but in 1996, an estimated 25 million were installed in American mouths, and for 2000, the dental industry predicted 30 million.

Most dental patients and dentists regard it as preferable to having the tooth extracted because, depending on the location, this can destabilize the jaw and lead to other dental problems later. In the root canal procedure, the dental pulp, dying (or dead) and infected, is removed and replaced with a wax material called gutta percha. Technically the tooth is now dead, but as biological dentists have known for decades, dead does not mean inactive. In this case, the activity is bacterial, and it is not good for you.

You may think the dental infection is terminated once the gutta percha is laid into the tooth and the painful abscess goes away, but research suggests it isn't. In fact, serious health consequences may result from a hidden, deep-set infection beneath the root-canalled tooth. According to George Meinig, D.D.S., author of Root Canal Cover-up, “root canal treated teeth have side effects that cause many disorders.”68 He made this statement on the foundation of forty-seven years of clinical practice as a root canal clinician and dentist.

It is almost impossible for a dentist to clean out all the infection from a decayed root canal; so pockets of infection remain when the canal is sealed up. The result is that bacteria get trapped within the estimated three miles of microscopic dentin tubules inside a single root-canalled tooth. The cementum (the outermost hard surface of the tooth) prevents the bacteria from migrating from the tooth into the bloodstream, but not the toxins produced by these bacteria.

Over the years, these pockets of infection can start spreading their process throughout the body, without the person suspecting it, at least directly. As toxins leak from the root-canalled tooth, they chronically trigger the immune system to react, and eventually the immunological defense system gets weary of the engagement. Infections under root canals are focal infections, which means they continuously disseminate toxins into the body, contributing, undetected, to a myriad of problems throughout the body.

As early as 1925, the connection between bacterially contaminating root canals and systemic health problems was known to professionals who read the scientific literature. Weston A. Price, D.D.S., reported that many degenerative diseases result from root canals, including endocarditis and other heart ailments, disorders of the kidneys and bladder, rheumatism, arthritis, lung problems, complications of pregnancy, bacterial infections, and even mental illness. Dr. Price demonstrated his point vividly when he implanted actual root-canalled teeth (from human subjects suffering from various diseases) under the skin of rabbits. The rabbits developed the same diseases as the humans whose teeth they were.69
