Root canals have become ubiquitous-almost 60 million are performed each year in the United States. “You need a root canal‟ is now almost as common as hearing “you need a filling.” It is the only treatment protocol available to retain a tooth that is diseased. Yet, just how safe are root canals? And, what is the science behind there being a non-toxic alternative to tooth extractions?
On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host Dhru talks to Dr. Rouzita Rashtian, a biological dentist and surgeon. After having earned her undergraduate degree at University of California Los Angeles with high honors in Neuroscience, Dr. Rouzita Rashtian went on to attend the University of Southern California where she completed her degree in doctor of dental surgery.
Dr. Rashtian believes that every individual deserves the highest quality in dental care. She practices utilizing modern health as a platform in helping patients understand the relationship between their mouth and overall health, in her Los Angeles dental office. Her focus is on holistic and biological dentistry; the philosophy recognizing the teeth and associated structures as part of the whole body. Because of this important relationship, she offers a plethora of healthy treatment options, stressing the use of non-toxic materials focusing on the impact that toxins and hidden bacteria can have on cumulative health. She uses minimally invasive techniques to preserve healthy tooth structure and incorporates laser technology and ozone therapy. She holds a SMART certification license through the prestigious International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. She is also a member of the Holistic Dental Association and the International Association of Mercury-safe Dentists and Biomimetic Dentistry.
In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Rashtian dive deep into the topic of root canals. They discuss what a root canal treatment involves, why you might end up needing one, and alternative treatment options. Dr. Rashtian also shares a few case studies from her practice where a root canal was the underlying cause of a patient’s health issue.
In this episode, we dive into:
- What is biological dentistry (6:16)

My mother had a root canal at age 50 and lived to age 96 with only arthritis.
As frightening as this video is, I'm glad they mentioned that immune system matters. RC failure is not a given
This is scare tactic BS. My grandfather is 90 and people his age and like your mother hardly ever went to doctor. They only went when absolutely needed
Enough of this terrorism! It's disgusting.
@@BruceLee-xn3nnwhat is scare tactic BS?
Not everyone the same. Statistically root canals are dangerous
Why oh why do dentists, including biological dentists, charge so much? It is unbelievable what they charge! They blame it on the labs that charge them so much. At least that’s what my dentist says. This is one of the main reasons people push their dental health to the back burner. We have spent over 15,000 so far and are looking at spending at least that much to do what needs to be done. This is $30,000. Dental prices are so overpriced, it is immoral to me.
I've spent a lot but that is massive. What treatment have you been suggested an what country are you in?
Unless you’re very wealthy and want to fund college tuition for your dentist’s child(ren), you might consider getting other opinions.
@@boostinggtirtime yesh I thought $6k was expensive
Thank God I live in Sweden and has the chance of getting my root canal fix for only $20
Yes - it is immoral. Tooth cleaning $625. Allegedly deep cleaning is needed. Why? To spread around bacteria? I worked in company with many software engineers who recently came from India. All of them were taking vacations to go back home and to do dental work there. Prices about 10% of prices in US. And I heard that crowns used in US are made in India. The crown replacement = $1,300, bridge $3,600. That is simply a rip-off. I just had tooth extracted $2,300. Unbelievable.
Just because i see so many negative stories i thought id share my extremely Positive experiences.
My whole adolescence i struggled with dental hygiene and in my 20s i paid the price. Didnt go to the dentist from 18-24 Nd finally got the courage to go because the pain was getting bad
Over the next few years i slowly chipped away at all the issues with my dentist by 27 i was finished, im now 40 and still no issues whatsoever and im extremely greatful to my dentist team.
To sum up the issues i had
4 wisdom teeth removed, 6 root canals, over 12 fillings, 5 permanent crowns, periodontal cleanings and gum scaling on all 4 quadrants with one extremely infected molar getting root canaled separately at an endodontist.
DO RESEARCH
GET MULTIPLE CONSULTATIONS
READ REVIEWS
GET RECOMMENDATIONS
and find the right dentist even if its 1:30 hrs away (mine was)
How do you which is the right dentist
@@alc6269 read reviews of dentists near you, avoid any big chain dentists like aspin dental etc. go in for a consultation with them, go over your xrays with them and discuss treatment plans prioritizing teeth that need immediate attention. Id recommend a good family dentist in a suburb, the best docs start private practices near where they live.
Also a good dentist will always refer you to an endodontist when the treatment you need is beyond their care or more likely when you need a 3d scan like discussed in this video. I hope that helps
Thnku so much for your comment...i was petrified by the stories of rct bcoz i too have many root canals in my mouth, but feeling relieved after reading ur comment.
Thnku so much for the comment..i am petrified by reading so many stories of rct as i too have many root canals in my mouth but got relived after reading ur comment
@@saip4279 im glad! Anxiety can make just about everything worse, being positive is incredibly powerful as corny as it seems
I had a dentist say I needed a root canal 20 years ago, and I told him I wanted to think about it. I went to another dentist a week later, and said he could do the crown without a root canal and it worked fine. That was 20 years ago, and I still have the same old crown with no problems. I think it is a financial thing myself
I was told my crown would need replaced every decade, Its been a little over that and no issues. I think that estimate may have had my former dental hygiene in mind…
@@YdrakarMy dad had a metal crown fitted on one of his lower main chewing molars 25yrs ago on our NHS (National Health Service) and it's still in place and doing just fine 25yrs on. And he eats toffees and hard foods.
@@Matty_UK they’re pretty resilient it would seem, but then I don’t apply a ton of lateral force when chewing. I would think they respond well to compression which is mostly all that molars do.
you are oblivious to what dentists see on a daily basis , if the crown didnt work u would be blaming the other dentist lol
But if a patient has pain they need something done.
Just this morning I had two old root canaled teeth that were bothering me removed. The dentist said he could "restore" them. I read The Toxic Tooth this week and chose to remove them. Glad I did. They were absessed and had the smell of death. Now I hope to see my energy restored.
Edit 9 months later: My energy has returned better than ever.
any news? :)
@@mb6845 Yes! Before the extractions, my wife said that I was turning gray. My energy was very low. I knew I was fighting something. Now, 5 or 6 weeks later, my color has returned and my energy is significantly better. One more extraction in a few weeks. I can't wait!
@@panamafred1 thank you for that information. I have 2 RCT Teeth... and neck pain my whole life + low energy - lot of grey hair coming since im 30. I will go to a holistic dentist in 2 weeks, hope to find some answers.
@@mb6845 I wish you success. Be ready for push back from the dentist. Have the dentist take high resolution x-rays and look for abcesses. For me, when I pushed on the side of the teeth, I felt discomfort. That was enough for my dentist to agree to the pulling. But extractions are very common here in Panama as so many people don't have a lot of money. Good Luck MB.
@@panamafred1 Thank you very much !! :) greetings from germany, michael
Stop interrupting your guests, let them finish their thoughts! Still love the interview. 😊
He kept interrupting his guess going on about his mom and off topic until I was nearly was screaming at the video.
It’s taking me 3 days and counting to finish this vid because I can’t stand his interruptions… glad I’m not the only one to notice
He loves to hear himself talk.
Completely agree!
Thank you for having her on! I worked for a dentist that had this philosophy decades ago.
Although I do disagree that it’s more affordable these days. I was an assistant for almost 15 years an even I have ended up losing my teeth (autoimmune condition) and there’s no way I can afford the work I need.
My overall health has suffered greatly! Both physically and mentally. But it’s all cosmetic right! 🙄
I’m 45 so although I’m not 20 anymore I’m not 80 yet an I don’t want to look like I am. Also being able to actually eat would be a dream! (Do you know what it does to an Italian to take away their ability to rip into a chunk of Italian bread!?🙇🏻♀️ It’s like pulling all the teeth from a vampire!)
The whole field of dentistry has to change! I witnessed the financial problems of my patients throughout my career and it’s always pissed me off how the system works. Also not all doctors are created equally so you’ll never know if their technical skills are up to par. Just because someone is nice and the office is pretty doesn’t mean that they’re a good doctor!
Amen!!!
Try Yuma AZ boarder towns
Yes - skill skill SKILL !!!
Why are u stopped from having basic dentures? (Im facing that decision)
@@AlexisAbercrombie-xo6ek my grandaughter went to mex.and got a full set of beautiful veneers. Only $2000. I'm currently going to the dentist due to an injury and need a bridge and 2 veneers. 7 grand!! That just cleaned out my $avings. Done. 0 (zero) balance now in my $avings. Had to do it bc its my front teeth...had to bc I have a Farrah smile. These dentists!!!!
I had 5 root canals throughout my lifetime. I thank god I stumbled into a holistic dentist who provided me this information- 10+ years ago. I had them all removed through cavitation surgery. I will say it was very expensive -but my health improved over time. I'm glad I did it and that I didn't listen to the nay sayers telling me they were safe and that I'm crazy to spend that kind of money. My health is priceless.
Have you Has implants done instead?
How did you find a holistic dentist?
u didn;t mention the alternative
what is cavitation surgery?
But removing teeth has serious health implications as well if you do not get them replaced with implants? Many patients with root canals are fine, most people who lose multiple teeth will eventually run into major issues if they do not replace them
I was told by my dentist that I needed a root canal because of an abscess that came on suddenly. He refered me to an endodontist but because of the expense I went to the dental university nearby and found out it was not the root but a popcorn husk in the gum area!! I also have some minor bone loss beginning so periodontal cleaning is what was needed and a root canal would have failed because the bone loss would have continued. The doctor would have made bucks doing the crown and probably pulling the tooth in a year. I hate dentists now!! They are as corrupt and slimy as politicians. It IS ALWAYS about the money
I agree with you 1000%. I am still suffering from my experience with the root canal.
I was never taken to a dentist until I was 11 years old, and when I was, they found lots of cavities and gave me lots of fillings. Then, ever since then, I kept getting abscesses, and I was given root canals, and then they kept pulling them as I got older. I am now 72, and I just had all my teeth pulled and I opted for false teeth with implanted snaps to hold them in. I have noticed that I have more energy but I still have tinnitus. The dental surgeon who pulled all of my teeth didn't even smooth down the sharp spikes in the bone after pulling my teeth, so they cut through the flap that he created to cover over the bone spurs. He also didn't do a post op exam. When I went back to show him how the bone spikes had cut through the gums he gave me a BS excuse and said that if I wanted him to smooth them down I would have to pay extra and said that he couldn't do it until 2 months later, which was in the middle of the winter holidays. I refused to let him touch me after that. I tried to find an attorney to write a letter for me to convince him to do it sooner and not make me pay extra since it wouldn't have been necessary if he had done it right in the first place. But none of then attorneys in my town will touch a dental case, not even to write a letter. I found the same thing when I lived in California when another dental group had done terrible things to my teeth, which has caused me to have them all pulled. I have put my career on hold for 10 years because I didn't have any front teeth and didn't look professional. Now I have no teeth and can't even wear my false teeth because of what this last oral surgeon has done and I will have to pay a new dentist another $3,000 to get this resolved, after already paying $22,000 cash to the oral surgeon. I have had a heart condition since my 20s, about the same time that I got my first root canal.
@@grammytina373 wow, you’re a tough soldier dude. I’m in my 30’s and just dealing wth a pretty gnarly k9 tooth cavity right now, reading about all of this. What about going to a place like Mexico to get your remaining work done at a fraction of the cost before the system bankrupts a good pensioner like yourself.
@John Smith good doctors do not exist except for some surgeons and anesthesiologists. Absolutely everyone else is a corrupt brainwashed pill and procedure pusher
@Mark__ Hi Mark, actually my original plan was to go to Mexico and get several implants. However, with the cartels running the southern border, I decided that it wouldn't be safe. So sorry that you're going through tooth problems. It's good, though,that you found out while you're still young about what to look out for at the dentist. I've heard that there are holistic dentists. I think that would be the way to go if your insurance will pay for it.
I had a root canal done in my early 20s. Dentist said it might last about 5 years, but it was only 40 years later that I started to be bothered with chronic inflammation. Once the tooth was removed, I felt a lot better.
@SG100 It was under the tooth- an abscess that kept forming and then draining with a bit of applied pressure.
Hey I got a root canal and I got a small lesion (bump) right between the salivary gland holes and the RC tooth right after the procedure. Is that Root canal is what is causing it? Did the inflammation go away after extracting the tooth?
@@ipranoj Yes, a bump on the gum between the tooth with the root canal and the next one. I would press it with my finger, and that would cause the bump to sort of 'pop' and deflate, maybe releasing fluid via the salivary gland, but every few weeks it would reoccur. But this started up decades after the original procedure. As soon as the tooth was removed, the inflammation stopped.
@@Williamottelucas I'm happy that u got it removed and it's good now. Hoping I would get mine extracted too. This causes occasional pains on the jaw with the tooth and sometimes pain right at the bump. Had antibiotics but none seems to work.
@@ipranoj go for repeat RCT. Best way is like this. Get removed cap and the filling, dry it for 2months (no cap no filling ), after 2 months get filling, check for 2 to 3 Weeks, later go for crown. If you fallow these steps RCT tooth can last life time. You can have repeat RCT for every 10 years removing filling and cap. This process make sure removal of bacteria in the filling over time. Like this your RcT teeth can stay even 80 to 90 years. More better and longer duration than implants. My brother is Endodontist and also assistant professor in dental college. He said he has seen people with successful RCT teeth that lasted more then 40 to 50 years. Implants sure ly not alternative to RCT teeth because they lack natural ligaments that natural teeth have. they are like shock absorbers while chewing. So implants get loose over time and wear out after 20 to 30 years.implants are little use if they are for molars, if not totally useless..!!
I just recently realized, I had several bad health issues all related to root canal teeth! Then this video showed up!
What do we do if we are not fortunate I have the same situation
@@rhondanicholson3672How did you figure out you had these issues due to dentistry?!? And have you tried talking NAC at all? I highly recommend it and my chiropractor suggested it.
The algorithm knows.
Dental work should be covered by medical insurance. Some very important health problems are directly related to lack of good dental hygene and dental well being.
Do you live in the USA? I’m afraid it will never happen here.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Going to the dentist is not the reason why it's the worst thing in the world, seeing the bill after a procedure is what is so frightening and keeps us away.
Idk where your from but in the states I've lived in they won't even start the work until you pay the bill in full so the dentists are turning us away based on our ability to pay
Exactly, you never start anything until you at least agree to the price
it cost around 60 dollars where i live lol
@@suyogpokhrel7994 about $1,700 to do a root canal and then $1,200 or so to put a crown on here in Maryland USA
It’s crazy expensive
My grandfather did not have any root canal instead dentures. And if a tooth hurts he rather have it extracted. And he is now 87 yrs old and he said, the best decision he has ever made is not getting any root canal.
Wat u mean Root canal treatment is nt good??
He is a badass
@@sunintheeast3881 Do I detect a little bit of sun-downer sarcasm?
My grandfather also removed his own teeth whenever they started to trouble him. He lived until the age of 93.
@@Williamottelucas lol
Best thing she said 'we can all live without one or two teeth '.
I will never have another root canal. I not only had problems after root canals, and ended up having every tooth where I had one pulled, my brother developed an infection after a dental procedure that destroyed his heart valves, and he had to have them all replaced. I truly believe that if my brother's wife was not a nurse, he would be dead. I thank this Dr. for telling the truth, and caring about her patients. Thank you Dhru for this video.
What did he have to have replaced?
Thank you soooo much my dentist book me to have a root canal,I tried to explain that I’m am concerned but he reassured me it is safe , I have gum disease, I don’t want one, now I will not have the root canal . Thank God!! I came across this podcast .
Same here
Me too I saw an endodontist who wanted to do a root canal without even looking at two CT scans that have been done in the last six months that show I have a lesion that caused my need to go to the emergency department at UCLA Santa Monica twice and I was diagnosed with facial cellulitis, but I just had a dental cleaning and found out after I was chatting with the Receptionist, the dentist walked by and overheard and wanted to look at my CT scans. She referred me to an endodontist who I met had a consult with and wanted to do a root canal literally in 72 hours, which would’ve Monday Feb.5th (my tomorrow morning which I had to reschedule to a week from tomorrow for financial reasons because I don’t have dental insurance and he wants $2000 approximately so that amount of money can change because it’s tooth number 31 back lower molar. The dentist that had read my CT scan also gave me a referral card to a oral and Max facial surgeon at St. John’s in Santa Monica. After going in my wallet, I opened up the card and on the card for this referral of this secondary dentist there’s a checkmark next to extraction and then a checkmark next to implant for tooth number 31 so she gave me a referral to two different specialists. I’m gonna go to the urgent dental clinic at UCLA in Westwood first thing in the morning. I’d rather a dental student at UCLA where my daughter-in-law went to medical school, touch my face and my teeth if I can’t afford this lovely dentist, who I just listen to an hour and a half interview with this TH-cam channel that I of course politely subscribed to, and like the video and I don’t even know Who this nice young man is, but when I have time and it’s not midnight, I will definitely look at his channel that I subscribe to and check out his other interviews because this was an excellent informative emotionally and physically lifesaving moment. 56 years old I had heart surgery 20 years ago last month. None of these questions were asked about my health. I just had to say who my primary care doctor was and it was such a long thing to fill out that I didn’t even finish filling out my medical information and they wanted to take two grand And bullshitted me that they could get all the infection out of my jaw with a root canal. I’m gonna go reread both CT scans now in my chart because I’ve gotten incredible team of doctors that I’ve taken an unbelievable care of me but I had a massive two day spine surgery at UC San Francisco working in coordination with my entire team down here in Los Angeles and I have top doctors even though I don’t have a Blue Cross PPO anymore and I’m on Medi-Cal and the first reason I was going to private pay dentist is because the one dentist that did take Medi-Cal when I just needed a dental cleaning Wanted to do something to 11 of my teeth when I had one small cavity so I asked one of my older sisters, childhood friends who is a dentist if she would see me and she totally opened up her office just because my sister is and gave me a feeling she seemed way more concerned and because I just had my teeth cleaned. She walked to the back and made me eat a handful of antibiotics, after a teeth cleaning she was so concerned after looking at both CT scans being able to read what the radiology report said. I’m not a doctor, so I do not try anymore to google things which I’m shocked that this video appeared because I was trying to catch up on other Channels I am subscribed to. Thanks for what you wrote in the comments. I also commented and good luck with your teeth. Just like the Medi-Cal dentist it seems like they just wanted to charge Medi-Cal and do work on teeth that didn’t need to be done so that’s why I’ve gone to my sister‘s friend, the dentist to get my teeth cleaned and one small cavity filled I wasn’t even due for x-rays Until later this month because she does x-rays once a year. Well she did not let me leave that office without me doing x-rays so that was another 300 bucks. I was happy to pay because she was truthfully worried when she overheard my conversation and I thought I was supposed to book up Appointment with my dermatologist in Westwood when I called UCLA and told them the ER diagnosis of facial cellulitis. They said that scan you need to see your dermatologist not your primary care doctor so so so so I’m beyond lucky to found this video and listened to this lovely dentist For the last hour and a half> take care of your teeth, and after this one and a half hours of information, I’d rather have my tooth pulled and go without a tooth there for as many weeks as it needs to heal or whatever then go have a root canal which I did some googling before making this comment and a root canal cannot get rid of all infection. I’m so disturbed by the fact I almost put two grand on my credit card. I’m on disability was almost ripped off and tortured for a treatment. That is the wrong treatment. Maybe that’s why she gave me a referral card to two different kind of dental surgeons wow…. you get what you pay for usually and for having one tooth x-rayed multiple times at least I know why I ended up in the emergency department where I was so swollen I could not speak and let alone breathe and swallow and I was taking in both times immediately I did not wait they took me in as fast as if I was having a heart attack and I kind of felt bad for all those people in the waiting area two days after Christmas, but UCLA Santa Monica emergency department is top-notch and both times they pump me with IV antibiotics and ordered proper CT scans. I’m just disappointed with the UCLA appointment number receptionist who told me I needed to see a dermatologist. They should’ve at least sent me to my primary care physician ..wtf? It Los Angeles so ……..(🤬😳🤯🧐
I watched this video too late. I had a root canal as a child. And I recently went for a cleaning which turned out to be a re-crown, and a new root canal on my other toothed, a slightly chipped incisor, because it looks better as a pair. And now I feel like I’ve suddenly gotten allergy symptoms. I have fever and I my eyes are leaking tears! I feel so sick. I hate that I’m so misinformed in this world and people take advantage of me my trust and my kindness for it.
I am going through the same issues with the same tooth after root canal 😭
why do you all make connections that simply aren't there? is that the ONLY possible cause of everything?
@@adenise__122 do u not see people saying there health improves after they extract ? Stfu
@@adenise__122 If you exhaust all possibilities then the teeth may be the answer. 100% of the teeth extracted had high amounts of bad bacteria, yea, 100%.
Remove them and put implants later on thats what i did
These stories give me sooo much hope! I am 2 weeks away from getting my root canal tooth out and am ready! Got mine around 12, been having chronic fatigue, chronic pain, throat tightness and so much more for the last 17.5 years, am 38 now. I’ve been to so many doctors and got told it’s fibromyalgia and pcos and never agreed with the fibro.
This is scaring me bc I'm supposed to get one done soon!! Wtf
It's best too just have the tooth removed completely. Root canals kill the nerve leaving behind a dead tooth with a cap on it to harness bacteria growth to only lead to more complications down the line.
What symptoms u have with the fibromyalgia? And how u know its related to tooth? Also what is pcos?
@@beepboop9519Same here!!
@beepboop9519 did you get one done?
I have never seen an informative podcast than this episode. I have done root canal 12 years ago, and I was very active, sportsman and healthy person. Soon after, i have developed healthy issues such as sleeplessness, and fatigue. After 10 years, i have developed more healthy issues such as jiont, muscle and bone inflammation and doctors could not understand my pain complaining which caused anxiety. I will make an oppoinment tomorrow to remove it. Thank you very much.❤❤❤❤
IT HAPPEN TO ME, U HAVE TO FIND A SURGEON DENTIST CAUSE NOT ANY REGULAR CANT TOOK IT CAUSE THE ROOTCANAL THATS WHY AFTER THAT I DECIDED TO TAKE IT OUT AM HAPPY WITH MY DECICION
@@DiamondPR yeah that is true. Not too many surgeons do this biological dental practice in my city and I'm still looking for one. Thanks for the positive encouragement. Stay healthy.
This lady has zero knowledge regarding root canal treatment.
Endodontist who have studied root canal for years know the value and risks of procedure. Whatever she 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.
I will have them removed
I have all these symptoms with having had a root canal 🤷🏻♀️
Did my research on root canal before I said yes to my dentist who said I needed it. Never got it done and my teeth didn’t rot and fall off like she said it would. I lean into my faith and had prayer and I believe I was healed since the pain stopped and my tooth is still intact 🙏🏾
Becareful the pain could come back. Just get the tooth pulled and replace it when u get the money
Thank you Aviyah ABIDES.
I just came across this and I have to have two root canals, I’m a Christian Believer too but this threw me for a minute or two until I read your comment.
God Bless you Sister✝️✝️✝️
You have been blessed with a huge faith. Can you please PRAY 🙏 for me. Almost all my teeth need to be removed and any procedure would be risky because of type 2 diabetes.

It's like removing a rotten apple from your tree. Once it's gone, the tree can actually give more energy to the whole. So so profound.
This is something I personally experienced. The toxicity build up under the root canal teeth impacted on my neurological condition, FND. So in 2019 when the Root Cause documentary came out, I insisted to have mine removed. My health is improving, slowly but surely.
is fake news lady
But it's isn't though. The movie had a point and didn't promote anything. The guy was just documenting his own experience, and there are tons of those in the comment section... But go ahead, believe the medical establishment shills with closed and brainwashed minds.

I have quite the health journey and root canal story.
Part of that story is bacteria was eating my jaw bone-from infected root canal.
Had removal, bone graft, and implant.
I too instantly began to feel better when root canal was removed.
For years I complained about it- my root canal. No one believed me until I saw a holistic dentist.
This is NO overhype and overblown.
Share your dentist address
Know the pain I went through the same I had 7root canals removed in past year and my health improved so much😮
I had a root canal
Molar removed…. It went into my sinus so I’m having sinus communication currently and in two days having a buckle fat done which is when they use cheek fat to close the hole… 3 time to try and close this but I haven’t felt well at all. Would love to connect.
Infected root canals should never be left in just as an infected tooth should not be left in. Also, operator experience and technique is critical. Some general dentists are not qualified to do Root canals and a good endodontist specialist can evaluate if a Root canal is a good choice or not.
I have same situation; it's scary. Would you please tell me, when you say you had "removal," are you referring to removal of the destroyed part of your jaw? Was it a regular oral surgeon who did your work? Dentist recommending I get root canal redone & that endodontist would probably put medicine in tooth to clean it up. Was told that bone would just grow back. But it's sounding like it needs to be scraped out first...?
I had painful canine tooth with cavity two yrs ago , I asked the dentist to take it out , he said it is too drastic and he will do a root canal on my tooth to save the tooth . i was in excruciating pain and was not in the mood to debate with him despite the fact that i had all the information about root canals and their long term effects on health ... Since i was in extreme pain i told the dentist to go ahead and do the root canal so i can get rid of the pain for now , Here where i live gov health insurance covers the dental procedures so nothing to lose anyway.... my plan was to get rid of the pain and then take some time and research more about implants and other options before the extraction....dentist told me that they have state of the art water lase machines to disinfect the tooth and i should not worry about it for at least next 5 or 10 yrs ( I was doubtful though ) ..... six months ago i started to feel discomfort in my root canal tooth along with fatigue and mild sick feeling….. and two months ago i started getting hives on my body....i am in good health otherwise with no other health issues so i was certain that it is my root canal tooth already infected and it is time to take action .. went to several dentists and all refused to take it out because on x rays and 3-d scans it looks perfect and showed no ongoing infection, looked pristine and no abnormality showing up .... one of them offered me to re- do the root canal and i said “ NO” ..... at last found a dentist who reluctantly agreed to extract the tooth , but he still thought that my tooth was ok and extraction was unnecessary .... when he took out the tooth he was shocked to see the infection at the root already moving towards the bone .. he told me i was right to take it out.
I am not saying dentists have bad intentions or they are bad people, they are professionals and willing to help ,the only problem is that they don’t want to think out of the box .. they don’t want people to lose their teeth which makes sense but root canal is a questionable procedure possibly with some serious health consequences if gone bad …..so they must inform the patient when planning to do a root canal and patient should be monitored for any related health problems on regular basis .
The numbers of root canals performed worldwide I wonder how many people living with mysterious life-threatening ailments and idiopathic autoimmune disease caused by silent infections of root canals.
I had the knowledge and my body was sensitive enough to warn me of an ongoing infection but not everybody is so lucky.
did u get implant?
@@sumayakenan6955 Not yet, will wait for few months for the bone to heal completely .. i dont want any metal root like titanium in my body ( which is worse than root canal due to its long term health consequences) so i will go for 100 percent zirconium dental implants in case i decided to do so but for this i will need to travel to another country coz here they still use titanium as a root.
@@thinktank6871 Hey man I had a root canal for some years now and I have hives as well with no other health issues. I know you not a professional or anything but do you recommend that I should remove my root canal?
@@Colin628 Hi, answer to your question lies into the video above. Listen to your body and then make a decision.
My mother got 3 or 4 root canals 3 years she is feeling so much tired fatigue issues is this because of rct omg and I had two root canal recently I asked them to remove but dentist denied saying it may affect my health I'm having depression already I'm afraid
I'm a root canals victim. My health was destroyed and I didn't know why until I found medical research on the topic. Removed the root canals and crown and all health problems stopped in 1 week. I thought my life was over 😢
The dental industry and practices are very shady (generally). Glad you are feeling doing better.
What do you mean removed the root canal?
@chirpbirds924 removed the root canals = removal of the crown and the dead tooth the dentist told me to "save". If a teeth must be root canaled then = pulled only. If a teeth has been root canaled =must pull out. It's not easy getting a dentist to pull a tooth that had the root canal procedure. I had to beg my original dentist to do it and sign a waiver that i wouldn't sue them.
@ellem8010 thanks. The improvement was near instant, within 1 week. The metals circulating and bacteria cause numerous problems and manifest as different symptoms. That's what tricky because you assume your new diseases or worsening preexisting conditions are caused by something else such as age, bad diet, family history etc. When its non of that. Trust me nothing will improve your health except removal. It's in the published research. Doctors will try to get you on strong steroids - life will go downhill with that
Ok, so removing a root canal isn't simply removing the crown, but the whole tooth?
@@nesq4104
This doctor is marvelous. My dentist recently referred me for a root canal. I'm glad I found this video. I will not get a root canal! Dentists seem to think that root canals are always the solution. They're not. Mostly it's about $$$ for the dental industry.
So true.
When pain than what should we do
The story about the woman with tinnitus and hearing loss is a miracle. She had her root canals removed and it restored some of her hearing and her tinnitus went away. That is incredible. This info is so important and should be mandatory listening for anyone considering getting a root canal
Crushed skull. Look up Joel Walloc
Yeah....and me after 6 root canals I be become a super hero
I had one root canal many years ago and it has a gold crown. Now I’m concerned. What is my first step in deciding if it is necessary to remove this root canal?
Ringing in the ear is mainly from damaged ears from loud noises, like shooting guns n listening to loud music n other loud noises
You also get hearing loss
Maybe is this woman's case her ringing stopped, but for most people they damaged their ears in many different ways n that is why they got ringing in their ears
N getting their root canals pulled won't stop their ringing from damaged ears, maybe it did for her, but most people getting your root canal pulled won't stop the ringing in the ears
@@michaeljohn7467some stuff people are saying here is wild. People blaming root canals on some many different ailments, like yeah I get it, root canals can go bad... Hell any medical procedures, if you look hard enough, can go bad... But people are going overboard here about root canals. Usually the worst thing about root canals is it makes the tooth weak, so you end up having to get it taken out anyways eventually... All this other sht is wild people are saying.
I had an old root canal tooth that my current dentist said needed to be extracted. It still had an abscess on the bottom of it and the dental surgeon showed me. I was so shocked after 17 years out of having the root canal it still had an abscess. My energy has improved so much since I had it removed.
It is true root canal treatment is dangerous for kids and for young age peoples
Yes because they put toxic filling inside, anesthesia that’s also toxic and antibiotics. That kills your tissue. Bacteria are not dangerous
Same but mine has been removed. I think it’s a money maker.
@@theadventurekidz-scienceho843 but what happens if you deny the root canal? Will the abscess remain?
Or will the abscess go away if you don’t have it root canalled or removed?
I had a front lower incisor tooth fracture 30 years ago. The dentist treated it by using the root canal method with a replacement crown. The procedure was on a Friday, and my dentist was away attending a conference that weekend. The tooth formed a massive abccess infection that entire weekend. The pain was excruciating. I went back to his office complaining of severe swelling and pain. He drilled out the new root canal fill, releasing a torrent of pus across his room. He still continued to crown this tooth even though it was uncomfortable. Over the years, I had dental pain and swelling around this tooth. I frequently over two decades had sensitivity, and I frequently developed stomach pain and flu like symptoms. Finally, the tooth needed surgery, removing the tissue directly under the existing root this causing me severe discomfort and sick bouts of unusual fevers. Ultimately, after 20 years, the tooth Finally just loosened and fell out. After two decades, I finally had relief and felt normal. I dread ever having to face the possibility of another root canal.
Well sounds like I'm doomed to repeat my mother's experience. We suspected her idiopathic oral cancer was related to excessive dental x rays done with old machines, but most of her teeth had root canals. Oral cancer, heart disease, DM 2, arthritis, GI disease, etc.= mom. This interview is a real eye opener. Too late for mom, rest her soul.
Same happened to my Dad. 😢😭 If we would’ve known earlier… 💔
@@jola3309 I'm sorry this happened in your family
Sorry to hear. What were the causes of her ill health?
What about cone beam CT’s that the dr is speaking about here they’re not lower radiation than old x-rays even if they’re ultra low dose
She was my dentist too when I lived in LA!!! I love her!
I have to listen to this when I have the time. I worked for years back in the early 2000s as a Dental Assistant and we were always told to save as many teeth as possible.
Excellent excellent interview. Loved the material and the interaction between the well informed host and brilliant but compassionate dentist. Thank you.
I had sworn to never have another root canal, but did, last year. It had increasing pain for several months and the dentist kept telling me nothing was wrong. I was suicidal and couldn't eat or drink anything that wasn't body temp. Finally it exploded, pushing out a chunk of old filling material. Some kind of fluid went through my sinus and down my throat, burning. Then a year of hideous stomach pain. Took huge amounts of Mastica and after 6 months have started to improve. The worst was the dentist's denial that anything was wrong.
Glad you’re better. Curious which Mastica did you use and what dosage?
GO TO ANOTHER DENTIST. THERE IS MORE THAN 1 IN ANY CITY.
The dentists are not taught many things that are true....so they don't have a clue...they don't know
what can i do to help heather
Two different dentists effed up two root canals on the same tooth. I ended up having to get it extracted and getting an implant. I won’t let a dentist do serious procedures on me anymore. Even if I need a tooth pulled I’m going to a periodontist.
I wish I had seen this a few weeks ago. My dentist told me I needed a root canal on a tooth and I was not having any pain. He wanted to have it looked at prior to putting on a crown. He’s sent me to an endodontrist who said the tooth was calcified and there was infection and needed a root canal so I had it done. I then had the crown put on but I now have pain in that tooth. So I paid for the root canal and the crown and will probably now have to have the tooth pulled. Thousands of dollars and it made the problem worse.
I'm facing the same issue. Got an RCT and crown and it was hurting badly. The denstist has removed my crown twice after fixing it on my complaint of severe pain.
Now he has recommending extraction of the same tooth he did RCT on a week ago.
I'm feeling robbed and like a guinea pig. Writing this at 04:36 AM in severe pain. 😞😞
Les traitements de canal sont fait pour vous voler vos dents
Ne jamais croire un dentiste
En France on dit ''Menteur comme un arracheur de dents'' 🔨🦷🛠️🐀💸☠️
@@chamboy5970what ended up happening? If you don’t mind me asking.
Very informative. I have a crown, which I got done years ago. I just had the latest CT scan done, and my doctor showed me areas of my mouth, teeth structure, and facial/head skeletal pictures that I have never seen before.
As a dental assistant and have had many root canals is evident that Dr. Weston Price lived in a different time, now many dentists irrigate bleach multiple times to the tooth in the root canal processes , if the tooth is far gone should be extracted, but if the pain is unbearable and the tooth is not too damaged root canal is a viable option.
Also the root canal tooth can further decay if patient doesn't have good oral hygiene.
And the dentin which has the micro tubes is the one having the caries, so instead of placing a filling according to Dr Rashtian may be should be extracted.
Dr. Rashtian specializes on dental implants that is a massive conflict of interest in having toothless patients more business to her.
Hygienist will say patients should have a cleaning at least every year or every six months to avoid cavities and heart disease.
yeah this video is full of just lies and clearly has an agenda lmfao
I also having RCT in my 46 molar. I felt stressed sometimes to listen all such specialist for their vested interests. I am from India. Pls reply me is there really some side-effects of having RCT I m 22 aged
This needs to reach the masses. Thank you for helping me to make an informed decision.
why dont u do something with ur life and get out there and do your own contribution to the community
I’ve been dealing with stomach issues for years and about 1-2 years ago my overall health declined significantly. I am 30 years old so I should not be dealing with this. I have several food sensitivities now so I changed my diet and saw a little improvement. Then I started working with a functional doctor, who believed in me and found other issues that I wasn’t aware of, including that my body has been fighting an inflammation. We started the treatment and that alone already made me feel a lot better! But I had no idea that biological dentistry existed until I saw this video about a month ago. I decided to have my root canal checked by a biological dentist and guess what?! We were able to detect two abscesses on a 2D X-ray, which means it is pretty bad!! I have no symptoms on that tooth at all, not even bad breath (I asked my husband and friends). I would never have found this inflammation if it wasn’t for this video. I’m having my root canal removed holistically in a few days. Can’t wait to see how my overall health will improve after that!! May you and Dr Rashtian be very blessed!!! Thank you so much for making this information available!! 🙏🏼💜
How did you go after your RC removal? Have you noticed an improvement in health?
Im having these issues also. Please write back and let me know how youre going and if your health has improved
Hi, Can you give an update?
Please update
Hi..
It's a fantastic episode learning dental care in real manner. I think she need grand salute to her unbelievable practice & study research for few years made really made changes in lives.
It very hard to such great humans who really worth to be honor by listening to then often.
My personal experience about this podcast or episode is truly worthy. Hats of to you maam.🙏🏼
Love and respect from India.🙏🏼
Thank you for this I am a 54 year old healthy female and two weeks ago tomorrow had a tooth pulled that was a root canal done when I was in 10th grade. A week to the day after my tooth extracted my arm was a bit swollen, the following day I had to go to the doctor and I now have a blood clot in my arm and been put on anticogulents. I told my doctor I think it may be related I will show him this video on Tuesday this week for my followup. Thank you for this video! Very helpful!
Not trying to make trouble but did you get a coronavirus shot?
Can you update us if the doctor watched it? And what he said? I suspect if not holistic dentist he will be arrogant
Did you have the Covid/flu shot in that arm? Serious question
So you think your arm swell because of root canal extraction?
Hello~ are you okay?
I had an infected root canal removed this week. Turns out my mom, step dad, aunt, and what feels like everyone I've mentioned it to has had to get their root canal removed. Rewinding back when I originally got the root canal, I should have instead taken 3-6 months to go hard on the flossing BETWEEN GUMS, oil pulling, brushing with hydroxyapatite toothpaste (alternative to fluoride that helps remineralize teeth), tongue scraping, and changing my diet before getting it ( I was 17 so didn't know better). Anyways, turns out YOU CAN HEAL CAVITIES. No one talks about this. Hopefully this helps someone keep their tooth.
You can heal cavities, until it gets deep enough to the point of no return. How about don't get cavities in the first place? Crazy how humans never take accountability for their own mistakes
@@EE-kt8sh i totally agree with this. I do take responsibility, lol
So I'm assuming that you had another cavity after the root canal and was able to heal the cavity on it own. There are lot of article keep saying the teeth are not alive, but then there are nerves and blood vessel lead up to the teeth. I saw (YT videos) where LASER is used to treat root canal and filling by evaporate it by burning it with the LASER. No numbing is needed.
@@AB-yp7nc I think you need to see a dentist if you have a cavity. It is getting closer to the nerves if you have sensation like this. I'm seeing quite a few vides mentioned about root canal infection so I recommend watch a few of them. Of course dentist will always want to extract and get a crown because of the money, sad. Need to look for a decent dentist.
@@AB-yp7nc Watch a few videos and try to understand it before going to the dentist. Do it ASAP. If it is at an early stage, you might not need a root canal or an extraction. You just need a filling. Just tell them you need an exam and x-ray, it will probably cost about $50 to $100 depending on the number of x-ray they have to take. See what he say and decide what to do afterward.
If you wait too late, you may NOT be able to save your tooth. Plenty of videos on youtube about it. You can ask the receptionist how much it cost over the phone.
Don't give into pressure BUT you need to know how serious your situation is first.
There are also LASER filling without pain and local anesthetic.
Thank you so much for this interview. This is an open mind to many people here on earth. Blessing to many people.
So you’re screwed either way. If you pull the tooth you spread bacteria, if you leave the tooth you spread bacteria. Very well put.
I mention this years ago to my Dentist who was really pushing for me to have this procedure Root Canal done, instead of a complete extraction... she looked at me like if I was an idiot, for believing "in this theories "...IM GLAD I PUT MY FOOT DOWN... I told her just remove my molar... THANK YOU!.
The interviewer could talk to himself. He doesn't need an interviewee, since he talks more than the interviewee. Something in government could be a great role for him, it is a real talent to talk and talk and talk.
My thoughts exactly 🤔
So so true
Dr. Rashtian is captivating. She puts it in terms that everyone can understand.
and she fine
The gums in my mouth showed signs of an autoimmune disease that even started going into my body. I found out it could be caused by my root cannals and meddles in my mouth. I had two root cannals removed on my upper and lower left side. I had them for many years. I also had all my meddle fillings removed also. Since then the autoimmune problem has gotten better. Unfortunately I wish I found out much earlier what root cannals can do to the body. I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, and it's on the same left side. I honestly believe it's all related.
Currently--went to endontist, scanned both of my perfect root canals. Surprise! Both are abscess in the jaw. Seeing oral surgeon on Tuesday for removal. Suffering from Nurology issues for 3 years
What kind of symptoms were you experiencing and what will you do now ? Implants ? I feel those can be just as risky.
Hi. I had two root canals done in one sitting and start suffering from neurology issues soon after the procedure. I would like to know if you removed your tooth and if it helped. Please let me know, I really need to know.
Hi. It's been a year since you had your two root canaled teeth pulled. I'm wondering if any of your neurological issues resolved.
If they were perfect, why did you go to the Endodontist to get scans?
Any updates?
I have an asymptomatic abscess in a tooth with root canal, I'm going to extract that thing right NOW. Thanks a lot for this podcast!
Remember to ask your dentist to used PRF they spoke about and something else to properly sterilize the area before healing
Did you do it?
Me too!
😮 i have had 9 root canals in 20 years..never have been told about these risks ever..
Have tinnitus, migraine and retina issues for past 6 years now
That's way too many.
Dr Berg also has a great video on the link between root canals and heart attacks.
There's a new book out called "The Hidden Epidemic" all about dental work and disease.

Twenty years ago had a root canal on a back tooth that ended up landing me in the hospital on IV antibiotic within a few months of the crown being placed on that tooth.
To complicate matters, the IV antibiotic caused C. Diff. That tooth ended up being pulled, but I had pain across the affected side of my face for about 9 years. I saw a multitude of dentists, all of whom told me they had no idea why I was having this pain!! Absolute nightmare!!
Now, several weeks ago I experienced some tenderness between two molars and went to my dentist for evaluation.. She did her regular 2D X-ray and said she couldn't see anything but sent me to an endodontist. The endo's 3D Scan showed abscess of two teeth and her recommending root canals.
I go for cleanings every 3-4 months and have regular exams and X-rays for evaluation. I've always taken good care of my teeth. I have never neglected my dental health.
Why is it the regular dentist isn't offering 3D Scan - whereby allowing people to know when they have a potential problem brewing? This makes NO sense to me.
Nevertheless, I will be having those two teeth extracted and a bridge placed. I'm devastated to be losing these teeth, but will absolutely never subject myself to another root canal procedure.
Hello~ did you got the bridge?
@@saifshaikh3191
Hello. I will be having the bridge done hopefully by end of the year.
I’m not having the work done now because I am having cardiac and pulmonary issues.
The extractions went well and gums have healed without any problems.
Love this video. Great dentist. So true right. I had numerous Root canal. And now I'm in lots of health issues.
I regret getting my root canals now. Ever notice how the dentists push you to get one? Hmm, I guess the 2 to 3 grand may be a motivating factor.
@ J M. Dentists give you options and often you are referred to an endodontist which doesn’t benefit the dentist at all other than having patients patients with a fuller set of teeth
@Yah Maha Since you have claimed to know so much more that I , about dentistry, in response to my previous comments , surely you realize that replacing an extracted tooth adds greatly to the total cost when having a tooth extracted. Dentists make more money extracting a tooth and replacing it with a bridgework than they do performing endodontic therapy. The same goes for extraction, graft, implant and a crown. So you if want to any financial motivation, think about that. And as nice as those options are, they are still not as great as an actual tooth. But hey, you probably know that but forgot to mention it
@@toothrestorer6588 you again? Do you go to every site and argue??? 🤦🏻♀️
@@goddessjo4888 So what do you have to add to the conversation Josie?
I’ve refused root canals and opted to have the teeth (3) extracted.
It is a relief to have the choice of sending a CTSCAN for her valuable opinion. I will certainly do so. (Barcelona-Spain)
Huh so funny to come across this. I recently had my tooth pulled which happened to be a root canal that I had when I was in grade 9. A week after it was removed I got a blood clot in my left upper arm. I was skipping, rowing and working with weights and no one would listen to me that I thought it came from the extraction dentist and doctor said ubsurd. I still even though they excused it in my heart I knew it had to be my head is attached to my body and not to think that our mouth cannot impact things to happen is crazy. My doctor was great and put me thru all tests possible as they thought may have some other illness and that was a year ago. I am 54 and so excited to watch your video. Thank you for doing this and affirming I am not crazy!❤
"The smell of death & decay". Wow, is that a reminder of me voluntarily removing all 26 of my infected teeth/gums. Still, removing infection today 18 years later today. Pay close attention to this important information. I recognized the problem & eliminated it.
Extremely interesting, makes total sense. Thank you for this podcast. My I offer perhaps helpful criticism? UUUggg I am so sorry that this might hurt your ego/feelings. I suggest allow the expert to talk more, too many interruptions. Yes you are informed but this interview is not about your expertise and your talking is not necessarily helpful, its ego based. It’s hard to fast forward your talking without loosing the expert’s advise. Please lets just listen to the expert more. Again I so appreciate you bringing this information to the attention of the public.
I went to a dentist who got really excited when telling me I needed a root canal. I didn’t trust him after that and never went back. That was over 10 years ago and I never did need that root canal.
Had a root canal in 2016. Fast forward to 2022, I started getting inflammation and pain on the root canal tooth. My crown fell off and the dentist, cemented back. Inflammation didn't stop and finally removed tooth September of this year. And I feel much better also I use to have frequent headaches and no more.
I had a root canal done on my front top tooth and never got a crown like I was supposed to and I did get pain day after the procedure but I got put on antibiotics and was fine. This was like 10 years ago I haven’t had any issues with my teeth since.
Excellent interview… gave me a lot to think about. This is not the first time I heard about these issues with root canals.
tooth supposedly linked to rest of body working in unison. effect one and effect all
similar to where it pains not where the problem li.
I was at a point where I was desperate to get a tooth removed, ( it had been filled in my childhood, then root filled TWICE in the last 20 years) My health was diseminated and I was suffering intense pain in my whole lower jaw, Neck, Head, Chest , Arms Legs, Stomach.
THE DENTIST DID NOT SEE ANY INFECTION IN THE GUM SURROUNDING THE TOOTH, so sent me away!!!!
I struggled on and went to a holistic dental surgeon. I waited another week in agony for the surgery. He removed the tooth, and drilled out the infected jaw bone, that was yesterday. I'm recovering.
As I laid in my bed , dying, before, It made me wonder if loads of old age people die in nursing homes because of dental infections( Root canal teeth )
Drilled out bone? 😰 Will it grow back?
I have wondered the same thing!
Please answer, how are you doing now?
How are you now?
Hope you recover from your surgery🙏
Mr Purohit and Dr Rouzita Rashtian I have never came across in such a fantastic podcast , I am amazed, thank you both so much. In the conversation we came to know so many things about the subject and about the dental health. Thank you so much for uploading it is a great help towards the mankind.

For those that choose implants then ask your dental practitioner if you clench or grind your teeth.
What problems may occur with implants and what can be done to mitigate against possible problems
Exactly! You can crack the opposing tooth and then need to extract that one as well.

I had 9 root canals done. I have 3 implants. Not everyone can afford to extract all their teeth and get implants. Not many people can afford dental procedures period.
Can’t afford a toothbrush either apparently
Their a various reasons a tooth can decay, like certain medications, dry mouth, autoimmune diseases, not flossing. Sometimes it has nothing to do with brushing.
Having high ever as a child & soft teeth deep grooves etc. Many reasons for tooth decay.

I had nothing but problems with a root canal. My face would swell up sometimes and all the dentist would do is give me antibiotics. Never once did he re-examine the root canal. That tooth hurt all the time. It was miserable. After several years I just had it pulled out and all my health problems went away.
Happy for you
I really dont want a root canal. So what are really my alternatives?
@@FrenchFiliextraction
You've convinced me, I'm definitely setting an appointment with my dentist.
Thank you so much. Probably one of the best videos on this subject on TH-cam.
Only rich people and people who have access to a holistic dentist can do this work. I had my amalgams removed in 1992. He also talked me into removing my crowns so he could scrape and remove any cavitations. I was young and ill at the time. I did not understand that he would not be able to just put back on the same crowns. So now my mouth is totally messed up because I was left with quite a few toothless areas. A good crown costs $3000 . I tried to find someone in 2004 who would do implants for me but nobody would take me as a patient. Now I am 70 with a terrible smile which embarrasses me to no end. If you are going to do any dental work make sure to ask lots of questions and have a family member with you so you ask all the right questions. I spent alot of money recovering
from mercury toxicity due to not having the right person taking out my amalgams. It was a nightmare.
If you can i would advise you to go get checked in a dental university clinic… here in Europe, we have our teachers who are specialists doing research etc but they also take in patients for consultation so you might feel in more trusted hands …
I’ve recently read papers evaluating the dangers of amalgam toxicity and it surely is the most dangerous during application and removal of the amalgam so i totally understand … sending you prayers, best luck with your journey !
Phenomenal interview! Such vital information! THANK YOU🕊
This came up on my feed today, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow for a filling. I fell and chipped one of my top front teeth 27 months ago. It started to go pink and black, I was so upset. My NHS (UK) dentist suggested root canal. I paid to get a second opinion from a specialist. He suggested I left it alone for a minimum of six months and monitor. I took his advice and the discoloration went and I have some feeling back in this tooth. I'm grateful for his advice as I totally believe in the whole body approach to health. Thank you for this interesting and informative post.
Fell a year ago chipped both front teeth that now have fractures to the gum line, one of them has that sensation afraid I'm going to need an implant... what are your future plans for that tooth?
I have a dental appointment later today and my main objective was to tell my dentist to give me a root canal on a recently crowned tooth. Now my plan has changed. Now I see that God was protecting me when she(my dentist) cancelled on me last week.
Wonderful honest Dentist, if only they were all like her.
Pretty much all comments I see are from failed procedures or having to hold your ground if you feel an issue. Like any surgery, a root canal isn't 100% and sometimes, as a patient, you need to stand your ground.
Very, very interesting talk.
My story: in my thirties, bad genetics -> dental issues, spent a lot of time and years of savings on dental work.
One filling went bad (my current dentist did say the previous one did a poor job), got that cleaned and redone, but I did get warned that the cleaning got close to the nerve since the first whole was already very deep.
After two years, unbearable pain that escalated in a week. Got a root canal, although I have heard these concerns before. With the decision already taken, I got the crown later than what dentists do on the usual schedule. The dentist had a hard time cementing it, since my teeth around had moved during that gap time.
One week later, the cemented crown popped off while on a flight. Here s the fun part: the smell that came out of there was indescribable. Never put my nose close to rotting flesh, but that s how I imagine it smells.
Which gets me thinking- if that had accumulated there in only one week of my crown being placed, now, 6 months later, I don’t even wanna imagine. I just want to go and get it out.
To go back to my parents - they both had bad teeth and lot of work done there, probably not the best care. They are both in poor health, although they tried taking care of themselves. Probably stress is a factor too, but it just makes me wonder…
Thank you for all this information.
I think this is for the 1st world who have good dental care...I'm a 30yr in Africa and have already had 4 of my teeth removed. I still have 2 with cavities and I will rather go for root canal treatment than not be able to eat.
Omg I’ve had five root canals no idea that they were bad for me. No one ever told me thanks for all your information
Ughhh me too, I’m too late !!
Same here! What an awful video to come across when you’re already on the other side! Ignorance is truly bliss! I guess we just live with it
Ditto ☹️
I find diet is a great help... dark leafy greens, coriander leaf and antimicrobial fruit and veg & cinamon are great inflamatory cleansers after major medical visits.

I am so happy to see this video. It's easy to understand and I know it to be true!! My teeth grind when I was a child. When I stopped eating so much sugar and candy my teeth stopped grinding, in my sleep. When I grew up and started drinking alcohol my teeth started grinding again. When I stopped drinking my teeth stopped grinding in my sleep. So clearly there is a relation between sugar and the grinding of teeth in your sleep. There is a lot of sugar in alcohol products. Also too much sugar will make you sleepwalk
:-D
Omg , my mom had a root canal done a month ago , after that she stared having height blood pressure with no reason, her blood pressure was always low , I’ll call tomorrow to get a appointment to get the root canal remove it , and I was about to get one , o no , thank you so much for that information
As an endodontist with years of experience, I have seen countless patients who have benefited greatly from root canal therapy. While there are many videos online that promote dental implants as the superior treatment option, I must say that such claims are often misguided and misleading.
Firstly, the success rates of root canal therapy are impressively high, with research indicating success rates of up to 90% or more in many cases. This is particularly noteworthy when you consider that root canal treatment is often performed on teeth that are severely damaged or infected, and may otherwise require extraction. In contrast, dental implants can have success rates ranging from 85% to 98%, but they come with a much higher cost.
Speaking of cost, root canal therapy is an incredibly cost-effective treatment option. In India, the average cost of a root canal ranges from 3,000 to 6,000 INR per tooth, depending on the severity of the case and other factors. In comparison, dental implants can cost anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 INR per tooth, making them a much more expensive option for most patients.
Moreover, dental implants often require additional surgical procedures, such as bone grafting, which further add to the overall cost and complexity of the treatment. Root canal therapy, on the other hand, is a relatively straightforward procedure that can be completed in a single visit or in a few visits, depending on the case.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that root canal therapy is a highly effective, cost-efficient, and reliable treatment option for patients with damaged or infected teeth. While dental implants may have their place in certain cases, they should not be considered as a superior alternative to root canal therapy in most cases. So, if you are facing dental issues, I highly recommend consulting with a qualified endodontist who can guide you in making an informed decision about your treatment options.
I have had four root canals over a few years (all due to abscesses). All four have eventually failed and resulted in total expense of about $7K per tooth (all molars). This could have been cut down to about $3K if I had gone for implant replacement (where I eventually ended up) and bypassed the root canal. Contrary to popular culture, getting a root canal is not the worst dental experience there is (esp. with a little nitrous oxide thrown in)...but they inherently weaken the tooth. Not doing that any more. I'm a mechanical engineer and I believe the dental profession is totally ignorant of the "stress on materials" induced by certain procedures...which is a central part of engineering. All of my bad experiences in dentistry can be traced to that ignorance.
Or could have gone to Turkey had nice vacation and spent about $100 per tooth..probably better medical professionals
But hard to do without knowing where to even start
How would it go down from 7k to 3k?
@@Phuong_Nguyen_ Because I would save the money on multiple root canals and pay only for replacement implants.
@@jbbevan after going through what you went though, would you recommend me getting a RC? How much did you pay for an implant? I was quoted $6500, I nearly fainted in the dentist chair.
Ever since I had my infected tooth pulled out my infections went away. I had two failed root canals on this tooth. Had it pulled. Feel so much better
Did you replaced it with an implant after that?
No i ddnt. I don’t have the money 4k USD and its the last tooth on top in back. My sinuses cleared up after the tooth was pulled
@@djdivine3543 wow!
@@djdivine3543 same!!
We're you advised/pressured to get root canal were you able to just leave extraction?
This video was very helpful in understanding why we should question Root Canals before getting one. It was very interesting in so many ways. I highly recommend that everyone watch it.
Awesome interview and very informative! Thank you 🙏!
The best point I heard was no other medical doctor would leave dead tissue left in your body as they know it would cause infection. The lie is that the root canal kills your tooth. We now know if other nerves are there and die then bacteria will take over and the tooth is very much alive and always was just not with blood but was replaced with bacteria. My mom had at least one root canal and the only thing she suffered was gall bladder problems so not sure if that was related but not everyone will get cancer or heart disease and those problems are likely contingent upon the health and lifestyle of the individual. My mom also works out a lot and eats really well. She is 70 and very healthily. I really like the stories of the old people who had their teeth remove led and lived to be late 80’s 90’s. We know life expectancies are going down and this could be the key to people being healthily and disease free. Great video! Now I want to know how to find these doctors as I’m a teeth clencher and have cracked over 3 teeth. 😢
If I only knew, I had a near death experience after my root canal, the dentist said I needed one but after a lengthy back and forth. After he said he finished he informed me that he broke the small tip close to my sinus. He said I would be fine....I got really sick so slowly, I was nursing my baby and he gave me no antibiotics. So I continued to get weak and very sick until I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, I was 35 years old. When I tried to tell the doctors that I had a long surgery root canal that I had to go back three times. I found out that he was trying to get out the piece he broke. So much trauma! No one was listening, I almost died, my lungs were filled with liquid and my heart was double the size. Long story but just to let you know in the end I did not die ( wrong diagnosis) it was a bacteria that attached my body. Horrible horrible the doctor was way off course.
TY for telling us !! Stay strong 💕
Glad you are fine 🙏
Root Canal education needed for everyone! Thank you. 👏🏻❤️
Hello how are you doing?
I had couple of root canals done in the past that were not done properly and I had big infection there. I decided to have the root canal re done by a proper dentist and the other dentist re did the root canals and after that I felt so much better, my energy returned and did not feel pain anymore. I am glad I didn't have the tooth taken out when they could have been saved. So my advice is to have your root canals re done by a dentist who is good at doing them and don't just take your tooth out. It sucks to be without a tooth.
it is still a dead tissue that will block the energy through that meridian
How many root canals do you have? I now have 3. My dentist is suggesting another 2 due to abscess. It’s from old fillings done poorly in a third world country when I was a child. Can’t do anything about that. My dentist wants to do the procedure but I’m doubting. I’m thinking about going to a Endodontist instead because I’m not sure if he’s well trained. But he’s my dentist so will it offend him? Help. Any suggestion?
Yeah but I don't want to risk my life over a dead tooth. I don't know man, if you are feeling better with a root canal redone to you, then that's great but for me? I am suffering from root canals a lot. Had one pulled out, gonna go do the same with the other one
I had a root canal done six years ago. I paid a total of $3000, $1800 for root canal and $1200 for the crown. Now, I have pos on the gum. I went to see the Endodontist today. I was told that the tooth had to come out. I had no choice. I paid another $256 today. Why didn’t the dentist tell me six years ago that I should remove the tooth???
Parce qu'il avait besoin de vos 3000💵
The dentist loves money the don't care about us
I’ve had 10 root canals and crowns , no problems and they are beautiful! 😅
Yet here u are
@@calisingh7978 🤣🤣🤣
How long ago did you have this done.
I have 2 root canals. I have no problem.
Same with me i've 7 rct and all r good no prblm😂
I need to make an appt. with her. I feel so informed watching this. Thank you When I got a root canal about a year later I started to feel like I couldnt breathe...they said I had "panic attacks"...i was going to the emergency room alot. I always thought it had to do with that tooth. My doctor told me that my fatigue was "all in my head" but I dont' think so.
yeah every one that has a bad tooth cant breath lol
I had a careless RCT which turned into a staph infection, which led to a year and wrong diagnosis of staph. One entire year and four surgeries. It landed in my right hip, and I am currently recovering from my hip revision surgery. The one thing that was neglected was an antibiotic priar to any oral surgery or treatment, to prevent an infection.That is so important. This interview does not state this. So know for yourself, I was really sick. And very lucky to have survived this long ordeal. Good luck.
That's so important! Glad you mentioned it.
Thank you for forgiving this gentleman. The wisdom knowledge to ask the right question. Wow, thank you for the dentist ladybug can ask her a question thoroughly.
Thank you so much for this insightful and educational information that can provide individuals with more information to make an educational decision about the future of their dental health.
This episode was incredibly fascinating and impactful. I had always wondered why my dentist had mentioned a root canal would likely be necessary in the future, but was reluctant (I’m autoimmune and on several immunosuppressants, immunomodulators etc.) and apprehensive. I didn’t understand the gravity of them, however have known many to have undergone such procedures with catastrophic outcomes and general decline ( very grateful to have a dentist whom doesn’t just think about his bottom line). This was explained so clearly and really reminded me of how much we must take an active role in our own health. People inject blind faith into their medical professionals and often don’t question their options, but this is further proof of how vital it is to do so. Thank you so much for another, wonderful episode:)
Dentistry is full of scammers. I didn't question. Guess what ? My life has been a disaster. 3 dentists scammed me. I cried so much. Fear. Rage. Hatred. I have had it all. I probably have PTSD now. Suddenly facing severe tinnitus issues over the past 1 week. Why ? Most probably because of what one of those 3 scammers did. Long story. Anyway, I have learnt my lesson. It is impossible for me to commit such a mistake in my life, again ...
Your dentist wouldn't happen to be located in PA, MD or VA, would he? He sounds great.
I'm also autoimmune and have done 2 RCTs, soon to do 2....I'm yet to watch this video, because of your comment, I'm about to.
I have autoimmune diseases and unnecessary extraction of all 4 wisdom teeth ruined my life. I needed only one extraction. B*****d denied everything.
@@nancyk5203 hi Nancy:) I’m so sorry, but he’s not. I’m actually in New Zealand, so a wee bit further away 😜 praying you find a wonderful, honest dentist near you though 🥰
I have 4 root canals with no issues. Maybe they're bad but I have no issues thank God 🙏
Crowned also or only root canal?😊
I have had a root canal for about 9 years and had it redone once. I am going to have it remove it as soon as I can in early 2023 , thanks DR.!!
