The Ugly Truth About Root Canals

THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT ROOT CANALS... Getting a root canal is not always the best choice when it comes to long term health.

To clean an infected tooth riddled with bacteria, a hole is drilled into the canal and because of this, the nerve connected to the immune system is severed in the process.

After the tooth is cleaned, it is then sealed up. Because teeth are very porous and the tooth is now sealed, it creates a hot-bed environment for potential bacteria to regrow.

This time though, there's no immune system connected to fight the infection. The bacteria can grow back and potentially infect other areas and teeth in the mouth.

Over time, with the mouth acting as a drain, this bacteria can not only present in the mouth, but can also leach into the body.  

Add to that, each tooth sits on a different Acupuncture Meridian line, which correlates to specific organs and glands. When there is a recurring tooth problem, the corresponding organ/gland can become affected as well.

How to DIAGNOSE:
✅The best way to definitively find out what is going on, is to get a panoramic x-ray of the whole mouth.

TREATMENT:
✅Oil pulling is going to be the easiest (as well as hydrogen peroxide) and something that can be done at home right away.

✅Depending on how bad the tooth is infected, ozone treatment can be used to kill the bacteria in the tooth and mouth.

✅If natural therapies aren’t enough, it may be recommended to go on a round of antibiotics.

✅If the tooth has poorly degraded and there's a lot of bacteria present, the healthiest suggestion may be to have the tooth pulled and replaced with an implant. (It’s always helpful to get a second opinion in these types of cases)

👉🏻The dentist you should seek out, is one that takes a natural, holistic and biological approach, as well as looks at you as a “whole person” and not just the sum of your parts.
