This show is great for keeping people from thinking outside of the box.
Of course, Doctors are the most brainwashed of them all, TV hosts are just actors. Promoting alternatives highlights their healthcare system isn't all encompassing and that there are solutions outside of their institutions. There's no money in curing people of sickness, only in prolonging illness. Then there's alternative health practices that cost an arm and a leg (such as $5k per dental implant).
Exactly!! 🤬
I’ve had two root canals the first one was actually a life changer, it was on a front tooth they had to put a crown over it I was in soo much chronic pain. I’m very happy they were successful.
Check out the documentary Root Cause. If you start having any issues, it might be a place to begin looking.
that was clear as mudd
@@carl8568 Amen!!!! That documentary literally saved my life!!! 😭👍🏻🙌🏻
Look up a tooth Meridian chart also. It will show you which body parts and organs can be affected by the teeth that have root canals! This is no joke to mess around with getting root canals!
@madmudd96 How long ago did you have your root canal treatment?
Notice he says “implants don’t last either” meaning the root canals don’t last. His didn’t! The problem is how long this not lasting goes on for and Infection can be at a low level as not to be detected. I went through hell before it got so bad I had to have extraction. Also, I was told it was safe (probably meaning the filling material only!) and never told they fail. Once you get sick the Physicians don’t know what to do-they don’t relate it to teeth, because that’s not their training. If you go to the standard dentist they can’t address what happened to your immune system either. Biological/holistic dentistry is expensive but should be accepted by more insurance plans, and/or made accessible and be taught in dental schools. I suffered greatly after not being told they can fail. There is a lack of informed consent. Their needs to be more education on whole body systems and what affects the teeth can affect the whole body. Most dentistry is in the dark ages on this. Also, I had mercury amalgams out and felt better after (was sick for years not knowing this could be a factor.)
Thanks everyone who shared their experiences and especially glad for you who got out of such suffering. You can be beautiful and eat with a simple partial, etc. after all, haven’t we learnt from wearing masks-we smile with our eyes too! Plus you’re not alone..
Hopefully dentistry and medicine will both address these issues someday and not compartmentalize the body as is routine with ‘specialists’..Look at how body systems work in concert..
I know dentist who tell people they have cavities when they don't.
I know dentist that can’t fix a cavity because there too small & insurance won’t cover it until the cavity is bigger . Then when you go back the cavity is way bigger & the problem is worse you might need a root canal or the tooth pulled sadly. Unless you have the money to pay for the small cavities then you wait & things get way worse 😓
@@michellenason9501 Truth
i got a 3 different root cannels when i was 15 and i still dont know why
@@getthegoods420 i had two when i was 13. My diet was just highly sugar based. I took good care of my teeth but my pre-existing cavities got bigger and word of advice, BE CAREFUL with nuts! One of the main causes of the large cavities is when i ate nuts and it cracked them
Be very careful with dentists, over my long lifetime, many crooks in this
Business. Example, they said after my root canel they would take care of
Cavity on other tooth, nope they waited till another root canel was necessary!
They play games till they can steal your money for their next boat or car payment.
A biopsy of my three "perfect looking" root canals showed they contained 19 serious infections. I felt like I was dying every day until I had them removed. I became symptomatic after 15 years, it usually takes time for these chronic silent infections to cause disease. Conventional dentistry kills people - it's a "drill, fill, bill" mentality that's sick. The ADA will continue stating that root canals are perfectly safe. The lawsuits if they said something else would be humongous. Going forward, I'm only seeing holistic/biological dentists.
Also, interviewing an endodontist about the safety of root canals is like interviewing a representative from the fossil fuel industry about climate change. They should have invited a biological dentist to counter the argument. Very unprofessional by this show.
Look up the documentary 'root cause' root canals are not safe.
It opened my eyes completely.
@@crz4644 I have! It's a great documentary. It's a scandal that it was pulled from Netflix.
I had a RC done 15 years ago and it was slowly killing me!! I am in Singapore and just had a RC molar taken out just today approx . 3 hours ago.
I desperately want it out because I have symptoms since beginning of May. Vertigo, headache, tinnitus, stiff neck and shoulders, motion sensitivity, walking imbalance, sinus and achy back (upon waking up). It's a freaking nightmare!
I am detoxing with iodine and taking oil of oregano as antibiotics.
I will report again with progress. I am so darn happy to get rid of it. I am fortunate that there wasn't any infection and my bone looks good.
The doco Root Cause has certainly opened my eyes completely wide! I have advised my relatives to never get RC!
I'm hoping the damage is reversible after 6 months of miseries 😣 I will report again after a while. Really hoping I feel better as time goes by.
@@Ziyana_Zenn Hi there! So since u had ur rooth canal tooth taken out, do u just live with a missing tooth? Or r u wearing a denture now?
I had 2 molars filled in the 90's. Now, my new dentist is telling me that there is rot under the fillings and I need 2 root canals. I'm 57 years old and relatively healthy. The rest of my teeth are fine. I have read so much about the dangers of root canals that I don't know what to do. I'm definitely getting a second opinion about what can be done. Also, they have to get approval from my insurance company and if they won't pay, this will cost me 3 grand per tooth. That's 6k. Are they trying to recoup the money they lost during the pandemic?... because it's just too much? The US is a disgrace when it comes to what they are not providing for people. 6 FRIKKIN thousand plus it may compromise my long-term health.
Maybe you should consider the implants. They are expensive $4-5k a piece, but I hear that they can last 20+ years. Consider the zirconium (ceramic) instead of titanium. If you are able to travel to a cheaper place they can be as low as $3k, but probably will not get any cheaper than that here in the states.
Fly to another country, get the treatment, have a vacation, fly back home. So much cheaper compared to having the procedure done in US.
The taxpayers would have to provide it for you and our taxes would jump a huge amount to do that. Nothing is for free. Gimme gimme let others pay for me, right? We all have to be responsible for our health and dental health.
What did you end up doing?
Well, if you need a root canal and if it's too too too dangerous and it's a no no, what's the alternatives then losing your tooth and take it out? Give a better option or don't say anything. You don't have to be aching madly to get a root canal, sometimes it's a prevention procedure if the cavity in the molar tooth for example and hidden in between 2 molar teeth meaning the tight position of the cavity and how deep it is close to the roots will determine the need for a root canal. The only bad thing about it and what's really painful is the damn cost and of course the need for a crown right after (imagine the cost) that's the nasty thing about it, other than that, it's mostly a success unless you have already problems with your teeth and gum caused by years of abuse.
An agenda can go both ways. Especially when it comes to big business (ADA). Obvious financial incentive to push the safety of root canals.
getting an implant is much more profitable for them
@@adenise__122 Your right it is but not financially viable for the majority. A tooth is naturally porous without being connected to the bloodstream it will eventually become infected.
@@JoseDiaz-rd9fh plz help me I have infection IMG 3 three tooth and in monday rct will be my treatment and I'm very 😭😭😭
TD ... didn't get much of an answer! I can't stand doctors that do not listen to the patient anymore. I have had a number of root canals and I have come across that they may causing issues like tinnitus, which I have had for many years now and it just getting worse. I go to the dentist and I want a CT scan to see if these root canals are causing inflammation and infections ... etc. Plus at the bottom of Caps of these root canals I see black all around (meaning tooth decay). One dentist even said its nothing to worry about. With the roots gone you feel nothing, but what pisses me off more than anything now is these dam doctors of every fielded just want to blow you off. And all that I get in this video is another blow you off! Well your fired!!! There's a reason why I don't watch the show ... the FDA is bought and paid for these days, if lead gasoline was introduce into the environment under the arrangement we have today we be breathing it ...
@ Steve Humphries. The dark area you see at the gum line by your crowns may just be the metal showing through at the margin(seam) if you have traditional porcelain fused to metal crowns If you are not satisfied with your dentist’s explanation, get a second opinion. Just a thought but if there were decay, don’t you think your dentist would want to replace the crowns which would be profitable to him?
I hear ya!!
@@toothrestorer6588 I have ... so which one do I believe one say's it decay, another says it nothing? Its mind boggling! Just how many dentist do I need? *And they wonder why we don't trust doctor any more.*
My dentist wants to do a root canal but I am experiencing NO issues, no pain or sensitivity. It's only because he says I have an on going infection that produces fluid that drains to a fistula. I feel as though the fistula is managing the infection as it should. I am in the process of cancelling my appt.
@ John Aiello. The fistula is not managing your infection since the source is still there, the infected tooth. You will be better off if you either get the tooth out or have the root canal treatment done. You run the risk of more bone loss If the fistula was on the outside of your face, would you still ignore it?
Get the root canal you knucklehead, that tooth is a ticking time bomb
So the abscess is cooking down there at the tip of the root. It may not be as painful you may think because your abscess burrows a pathway away from the balloon of infection and out into your mouth which is the Fistula. Since that drainage is happening the balloon of puss and infection is no longer building up pressure but the infection is getting larger and when that little fistula blocks up then you're balloon of infection will pressurize causing worse pain. Don't let your body's natural high pain tolerance fool you.
@@DentalThings Right now I have no pain at all and the fistula has disappeared. I see my dentist every 6 months and don't see there is a need for a procedure that is not without some real risks.Again, zero pain, maybe I had one cavity in my entire 63 years. But thanks or the advice.
@@lumberpilot if there’s an infection there wouldn’t you want to clear it up?
I want to know why they’re giving them to kids when they can just pull the tooth and place a spacer or something.
Money
I have problem in my tooth 17. Doctor suggested me two options as tooth extraction or root canal. I am now confused. Which is safe for my health? I want tooth extraction but not want implant. Is it safe to keep that area empty? Can I chew without this tooth?
I am on the same situation i am in pain :(
@@raqueldrift9558 Sorry to hear that.
I can understand your situation. I have done with root canal treatment from specialist. It was costly but not as implant (as I studied that it is not good idea to keep that space empty after extraction so implant is required). However my tooth was in good condition so I decided to keep it. Let's see how it goes.
@@jkaur2540 well that is good news to hear that you get to keep your tooth mine is 18 and 4 but unfortunately i had 4 extracted it was damaged and giving me pain now i am scheduled for root canal on 18 i learned my lesson i will prioritize my teeth cleaning regime
Me too they want to try to fill it but scared if they drill too deep it might hit the nerve and have to do a root canal my mom wants me to just pull it but I want to save the tooth since I’m just barely abt to turn 18 I’m trying to go get a second opinion this week…
@@Taetae-cl7dc what did you get done? I'm in the same boat right now.
I neglected my oral health now dying
Huh
As with my horrible experience I wouldn't recommend it being down at all
Does a root camel hurt
Depends. A camel kick does hurt though
prob a little late but i heard its just like a filling
Gutta Percha will gut ya and hurt ya.
It might feel fine now, but not in the future.
(That’s what they use for root canals. I myself have had chronic fatigue for 10 years, after 4 root canals and mercury filling. Planning to get cavitation surgery and SMART protocol mercury removal.)
Good for you! I’m in the same boat. Currently working with a Biological Dentist to remove my 3 root canals. One done, 2 more to go. I hope I get my life back after so many years.
How are you doing now??
Teeth are naturally porous meaning they accumulate bacteria. When you have a healthy tooth that is connected to your bloodstream that is not a big deal because it will naturally clean out the bacteria as it accumulates. With a dead mummified rebuilt tooth like in a root canal there are two problems. One the tooth is no longer connected to your bloodstream and can therefore no longer efficiently clean out the bacteria that will accumulate an infection is not a matter of if but when. two the tooth is dead and it's condition will degrade over time and become brittle. There it's not as much good science as there could be on the health concerns surrounding root canals because root canals are a money maker.
BINGO!! Couldn’t have said it better!! That Root Cause documentary really opened my eyes and saved my life!! 🙌🏻
Watching this while eating a box of chocolates.😃
🤦
Wow
I don’t go to dentist for years , now I have visible holes in my teeth
NOTICE: HE NEVER ANSWERED THE QUESTION OF WHAT IS IN BIOCERAMICS.
Well, he clarified that bioceramic use isn't typical for root canals; rather, they use gutta percha. He did, however, indicate that bioceramics were not representative of a single, consistent material.
But, to answer your question, bioceramics are typically made of ceramic oxides or calcium composites.
@ Jauphry. Even with bio ceramic sealers, gutta percha is still used as a carrier and to allow retreatment in the future if necessary
@@toothrestorer6588 only at the request of the patient. its not forced.
@@voguehaven5154 I’m not sure what you trying to say that has anything to do with my post
was the doctor high?
I may need a root canal, and I have watched the documentary "Root Cause." The allegation in the movie that 97% of female breast cancer patients have had a root canal procedure is an extreme condemnation of this procedure, but it is also an allegation that is extremely simple to disprove. All that would be required would be to survey 100 breast cancer patients and/or their oncologists regarding this statistic. No multi-million dollar research required. Is the statistic true or false? Simple cause and effect analysis. The fact that the American Dental Association and the American Association of Endodontists have either not conducted such a study or not disclosed its results is a tacit admission to me that the statistic is true. Btw, I am a lawyer who deals with how to prove the truth and disclose lies on a daily basis. This would be an easy one for me to prove or disprove in trial if given a small amount of resources.
I'm a cop and I also have 0 relevant experience in any endodontics study but I once watched a video that said they're good and since cops have to deal with a lot of bad people I know when people are lying or not and the video is telling the truth. Root canals are amazing!
That's how stupid you sounded posting that.
@@ThePolice2012 😂😄 I love your brutal reply. You're very witty! 👍🏼👍🏼
Is root canal safe?
@@syedzadi1039 you can find more answers on Amazon reviews of several book titles called "root canal cover up" and "the toxic tooth".. Happy reading!
@@Ziyana_Zenn ihv got two visit but now i am very scared about rct plz tell me should i do it or not?
Do the opposite of what these shills say
Natural teeth when you get a root canal. It’s a dead tooth left in the gum. It may not give pain but it’s low grade infection leaving a dead bone in the gum.
teeth are expensive to fix and not cheap i got 3 back teeth that hurt like crazy ill prob just get them pulled its much cheaper
For me, a root canal destroyed 10 years of my life and could've killed me.
@ KJ. Can you give us some details
@@toothrestorer6588 Watch Root Cause (2019). I've had the same but much worse with many different symptoms.
you have written this comment multiple times on this page, with zero details as to how the RC procedure was done, and how RC destroyed your life. Very sketchy
@@voguehaven5154 And you're replying to my comments multiple times. Very "sketchy". See how dum* your argument was? Have you though about it that I wanted to get my comment to as many people as I could? Not everyone reads every single comment like you do.
@@nft3 You didn’t answer my question You just wanted to get me to watch a video
Omg they’re soooo evil. Please go to holistic dentist omg. Sometimes you just need temp filling, then regular filling and pulp cap
Root canal that bad ?
You CANT TRUST THIS SHOW.ITS MAINSTREAM MEDIA DONT TRUST .WHATEVER THEY PUSH,,,GO THE OPPOSITE WAY AFTER AND ONLY AFTER YOU ASK DIVINE SOURCE CREATOR FOR WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT.PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE AS THEY PERPETRATE LIES.But they still need our prayers,as long as they are alive they have chance each one to turn away from the evil they perpetrate.
Is root canal safe ?
No one is for or against as arguments are strong on both sides. Me personally why risk further complications to your body, just remove the tooth.
@@100ververis just remove the tooth? Have you ever seen the price of an implant? My friend just paid $20,000 to have two emergency implants. Root canals can address many different issues, not just abscess or infection. The most important thing is keeping your natural tooth as long as you can without extraction.
No, it’s not safe. Go to holistic dentist
@@100ververis just removing the tooth without a plan is super bad as other teeth will shift to the hole
Most of the comments associates having a tooth treated with root canal with other diseases that have a different cause. Root canal is a safe procedure, the only thing scary about a root canal is the cost (depends on how much the patient neglected their tooth condition or how late was the problem addressed).
@ Misfit01. Of course they don’t work 100% of the time No honest dentist would ever say that they did, but a skilled practitioner would have success rates of over 95%. No procedure in dentistry or medicine is 100% effective The alternatives of bridgework and implants are no more successful
@@toothrestorer6588 Exactly. It's just like what you see in any antiseptic agents or antibacterial soap, its always 99.9 percent. They always leave a small percentage because they cannot legally claim that its a hundred percent successful. It really does depend on the skill of the dentist or the severity of the case (whether saveable or not saveable teeth), there are a lot of factors really. But regardless of those factors, the benefits of root canal outweighs just leaving the tooth as it was, whether infected or even necrotic or extracting it.
@@nft3 can I ask how the root canal was performed? what filling material was used? how was it cleaned? did you got to a professional holistic endodontist? I ask because depending on what was done or not done could help people make qualified decisions regarding root canals. Instead of saying RC destroyed your life, it would be helpful to get information on how the RC was performed.
@@nft3 thank you for your reply. But, every single root canal ever done can't be infected without exceptions, that doesn't make any sense, since there is no way of testing every single root canal ever performed world wide. I will watch the documentary of course. How did you find out it was the tooth causing problems, if no medical professional could see it through any of the high tech scans? what form of testing was done?
I am still curious about how your RC was done, given that there are newer technology that has come out since the "root cause" documentary. Several publications regarding these new technologies suggest it is the only way to perfectly clean the tooth and create a sterile environment that is 99.9% bacteria free.
Traditional root canals using just the file and gutcha perta is extremely dangerous. So I ask once more, how was your RC performed and what filling was used?
@@nft3 okay. That makes sense. Thank you.
Endodontist who have studied root canal for years know the value and risks of procedure. Whatever he is telling has no evidence. After a lot of reasearch for many years Root canal treatment is ideal choice of saving tooth which are badly decayed
If you want your teeth extracted then you have to replace it further with an implant or Bridge...it also had its cons, if not done correctly it can lead to bone loss and infection. Later you will not have any option left.. if you leave space without replacement your teeth will start moving your bite will change you will have pain.
At the end every body reacts to every treatment in a different way. Most of the root canal treated teeth last life time without any adverse effects.
Viewers need to be cautions when they watch a documentary reviewing the data vs a DOCTOR that doesn't spend any more time learning after their degree... Yea ok...
This is nothing more than the view for people who are liars
I got good news my bad tooth for years will come out but the good news whether your septic or periapical is it does not matter as Jesus Christ DOES last forever and I'll have good teeth in Him Amen.
Wtf…….
I lost all respect for stork when Jenny McCarthy made him curl up in a fetal position and suck his thumb because she was much more educated on vaccines than baby stork was.
First
Root canals aren’t a big deal. It’s like getting a filling but takes a little longer
WHO IS THAT CLOWN WITH THE FAKE HAIR AND CAKED UP MAKE UP ON THE RIGHT?
lmaoooo fr
Dentures are healthier than root canals because the root canal encapsulates the bacteria. The length of life is shorter comparing those who had root canals verses those who have dentures. The root canal is especially bad for the person with diabetes. But thankfully, we can choose to receive the Messiah as our Savior, and pray in His Name. // SHLM & HaB (peace & love). The Name of the Creator is Hayah Asher Hayah, as what He told Moshah (Exodus 3:14), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is a curse to the G-o-d name (Isaiah 65:11-12), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. All followers of the Messiah are to do the 7 appointed times (Leviticus 23), but no more animal sacrifices, following the Crucifixion of the Messiah. We are now of the order of MLK TSDQ (King, righteous), to Whom ABRaHM tithed. Ask the Messiah to be your personal Savior. He said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). ...for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3:23). The wages for sin is death but the gift of ALaHYM is Everlasting Life through Messiah Yahushgh our Master (Romans 6:23). That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahushgh and believe in your heart that ALaHYM raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9). He Himself is an Atoning Offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world (1 John 2:2).
