A root canal is a common procedure, recommended when the soft tissue inside the tooth becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth or a crack or chip in the tooth. If the inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.
Root canals are a pain relief procedure, and the approach is to relieve the pain by taking the top of tooth off, and removing the nerve and blood supply (including taking out the nerves causing the pain). The tooth is then sealed with a crown, and the pain usually goes away.
The problem with this procedure is that now the patient has a dead, infected tooth inside their jaw that has been sealed off. Pathogens and toxins that remain are sheltered from the immune system, and are able to multiply. This can lead to detrimental effects on overall health – chewing pushes those pathogens and toxins into the bloodstream.
If you are considering a root canal or if you’ve had one done in the past, make sure to watch Dr. Thomas E. Levy’s interview to fully understand the risks associated with this procedure.
