I tried telling my mom her leukemia (CLL) was potentially caused by her 7 root canals she had had over the decades in 2011. For years I tried and tried, but she and everyone else in my family thought I was crazy. It wasn't until it was too late that she finally admitted I may have been right because her teeth were becoming painful and infected. She passed in 2020, but now my family members realize I may have been right and avoid endodontic therapy (root canals )
It's been health crisis after Health crisis for me with 4 root canals, thyroid toxicity crisis storm, 1 st 3 originally failed with huge infections. They recommend to redo them. Two of those failing about 4 yrs later with lymph node golf size ball on lower jaw. They still recommend a 3 rd redo root canals knowing NY health history. Pain. On the right side with 3 root canals, 1 small lymph nodule on on that side of neck. Pains from that right side from head to toe. I spent thousands of dollars holistic Myers Iv treatments, supplements, ningxia red drink, essential oils, ....
Even with no pain, you can have an infection that's leading to bone loss; it happened to me. If the RCT feels 'off' just get it scanned; maybe you can't save the tooth, but you can save the bone.
true. sometimes you'll have pain temporarily but that is from the nerves in your tooth being damaged. once they're too damaged no more pain but you'll still have a bad infection
I’m going through this right now. The dentist I was seeing said it was periodontist but it only seems to be worsening in one area of my teeth and that’s where the root canal is. She didn’t deal with it though. I just kept getting cleanings. She knew about the infection too. I went to see a Biological Dentist and he said there’s an infection there. He asked me if that tooth has never felt right to me and it hasn’t. I’ve had root canals done on it since I was a child. At this point I just want it out. I believe it’s also contributing to my autoimmune issues.
I had brain fog for years. Did tons of research, had my root canals removed by a holistic dentist and the day after the last one was removed, my brain fog disappeared and has never returned! That was over 15 years ago!
My "regular" dentist botched my root canal. The 1st root canal hurt after I got home and the novacaine wore off, I was still in agony, and swollen. I went back the next day, he must not have cleaned out all of the root and nerve. He dug even deeper, I could feel the wire in my jaw, hurt like a MF! My jaw swelled up so bad, like to the point my skin was tight, red and painful. It was so awful! He even forgot to prescribe me painkillers and antibiotics. Idiot! Go to a an endodontist dentist, who uses a microscope, so he can see all the nerve, and roots. Otherwise you are going to be in a world of pain, if the dentist can't everything cleaned out.
Why is the topic of root canals the most confusing and contradictory medical topic out there right now? I'm amazed at how both sides of this debate seem 100% convinced they are right. What's the truth here? People like myself want to make a well-informed decision about this topic but everything out there is incredibly contradictory. Who do we believe? Are root canals 100% safe if the endodontist successfully removes all of the infected tissue before sealing up the tooth? Or, are they never safe because bacteria will continue to seep into the tooth over time and since the tooth has no blood supply the body cannot fight the infection? This is an exhausting topic. Makes me want to just err on the side of caution and go with extraction, but that seems to have another set of issues.
You are so right. It is truly exhausting. I got my lower second molar extracted two weeks ago. Now I’m going through such a hard time thinking about teeth shifting, eruption of top molar . Ugh. I have lost sleep to this. Implants are not in the picture because of how risky and invasive they are. Let alone the cost. 4K for one tooth. Jesus help us 😥
@@VonnieSF I had 4 teeth pulled, it beens a few years since 3 were pulled, today the 4th one was pulled Haven't bothered my mouth much with missing space between teeth that I noticed So what if some teeth shift a little, it will be ok There are worse things to deal with with health issues then a few teeth shifting a little bit, now if they shift a lot that could be a bigger problem
Thanks for explaining this about root canals! I just had to have a tooth removed that had previously had a root canal. Three years after the root canal, the tooth abscessed and I had to have it pulled! I will never subject myself to a root canal again! I do take very good care of my teeth, but I am sad to lose ANY of my precious teeth !
Yeah I understand why they do them but they just can become a problem down the road and with technology maybe we'll have better options down the road I mean an implant I think overall is better although they can have complications too.. but yes once you get a gum abscess that area has to go tooth has to go
Thanks so much for sharing. I’m so sorry! I don’t know what they did to my front tooth after I lived with half of it for a whole year. I have to have the procedure done to a premolar now but my instincts are telling me to go for an implant. I know it’s a much more intense surgery but I love the idea of being able to use the post in the future should neighboring teeth start to fail. I’m only 30 and I had my front tooth broken at the age of 12. These teeth have cause the worst pain of my life.
Root canal was the only choice for me my tooth was super sore could not drink water without tilting my head. Saying you won't subject yourself to it is not always an option. I rather try the root canal then get the tooth pulled.
Your supposed to brush after every meal and after eating something sweet and you should be flossing a lot therefore you are destined to get another cavity if you eat so much sweet even more so come on now idiots
Mine became badly infected (twice). It spread to my jaw bone and killed tissue. In the end, the tooth had to be removed. It was the only way the infection could heal. I don’t think I will ever get a root canal done again.
hi i’m only 18 and have been trying to do my research on root canals because i have a very badly decayed tooth and my dr said i needed one. Did getting the tooth pulled effect you long term? i’ve seen people saying getting a root canal caused them to have fatigue and things of that nature
So my root canals are done and the crowns are doing well. Am I correct understanding your suggestion to REMOVE such teeth completely? and to do what? implant?
Well now, this is TRUE. Root canals are toxic! I had 2 root canals 44 years ago. YES, 44 years ago I was 17. Bottom molars, 19&30 the only root canals. I have had chronic health issues. Blood tests are always perfect. Fatigue allergies, anxiety, recent rashes, and sudden shellfish allergies. Worse, debilitating muscle and joint paint. Knees, sacral joint, and stinging elbows the past year. They all say arthritis. No, it is always on the move if that makes sense. I told my husband the past year I feel as if my body is fighting something. I get dental cleanings twice a year and last year due to COVID I only went in November. The new dentist (I moved) said the teeth under crowns are mushy. MUSHY? I went back a month later to have crowns removed and recrowned. She took off Number 1 crown, OMG it was filled with mercury, green, brown, black, gold, rotting!! Mind you, I had NO pain or taste. The dentist and periodontist could not believe how old the root canals are. She looked at the other crown, the tooth under was half gone! The X-rays showed little white balls on the bottom of the roots. Off to periodontist. He did the whole head X-ray. the decay had gotten close to the jaw bone. They both must come out. They came out this past week. I did bone grafts and collagen inside the pocket. The pain from the procedure has been off the charts even on meds and antibiotics and my probiotics. Today is day 3 after surgery. I am on the mend!! The GREAT news.... My crippling joint and muscle pain are gone! I can bend my arms with little or no pain. The strange swollen balls on my ankles are gone! I feel lighter, I feel joy. The poison is out of my body. Tomorrow I go for an ion foot bath to begin to remove residual mercury and toxins. Then a detox diet. Listen to what Dr. Dana says!!! IT is TRUE. I am on the road to recovery.
Thanks for sharing your story. Very interesting. I’m going to have my root canaled tooth removed when I get some more money. These dentists ought to be ashamed of themselves for doing these procedures on teens and young adults. The ADA should be decommissioned too. They know about the adverse effects and still push these dentists to perform these procedures.
So you had a root canal 44 years ago... and left the crown in place thats only supposed to last 15 years tops? I'm confused how the root canal was toxic but clearly your dentist wasn't checking on them in the meantime, or you weren't practicing proper dental hygiene...?
yeah its true,, root canals are very dangerous don't get them, i have suffered a lot because of them thank god i watched root cause movie and read weston price research and them pulled them out there was a lot pf infection there amd it was not causing me pain at all nothing and i had palpitations, liver disease, neurological conditions, insomnia, anxiety, osteoporosis, joint pain i used to cry some nights thinking what is wrong with me because of insomnia and anxiety i coundn't sleep thank god i am fine now after extraction
@@mikepaquette1245 mine took 6 month to one year,, it depends on your body's ability how soon it can get rid of all toxins,bacteria,inflammation and oxidative stress that it has gone through u can take antibiotics for 15-20 days and antioxidants, for 5,6 months it will help u heal sooner
I don't know what country you're in but in the UK or something called informed consent and really your dentist should have explained to you before you have any medical procedure you should have under the law everything explain to you in order to be in a position to make informed consent
@@Stardust_Truth_Seeker sorry I don't agree with you, I'm where exactly because dentist explain alf of it, nothing about toxicity. So you must have a dentist who cares?
They do root canal if cavity decayed into the pulp and canals, they should have showed you x ray and explained. You can tell it's in canals and pulp through x ray even if not a dentist. If it didn't sting with cold ice spray on tool touching your tooth for more than a quick instant, probably didn't need a root canal yet. probably didn't need canal they could have filled it for you or filled and crown. Also good dentist will probably send you to an endontist. As a root canal takes up a lot of time and can be very difficult despite images they take. They have a tight schedule and root canal in middle or start of day can piss a lot of people off. Dentist wanted your money probably if they jumped the gun too soon. I'd ask for x rays
A friend of mine has had his 17 (yes really) root canals and crowns last for over 26 years at this point with zero issues, he went to an endodontist. When I was 17 I had a root canal at a general dentist not knowing any better and it failed causing me to need the tooth pulled anyway; and to make it even worse they took a piece of my jawbone with it when it came out requiring even more corrective work. It really depends on how competent the person messing with your mouth is. If you go to a competent endo who does it properly you'll be completely fine, getting a rc from a regular dentist has a bit of a russian roulette aspect honestly.
This happened to me I had a root canal and now a few days later still in pain.. I'm going to have to get it pulled. Lesson learned is please everyone go to an endodontist when getting root canals!!
Yes happened with me. I need a 3rd root canel. And I think I will do endo this time. Weather my general dentist like it or not. I let her do two molars In the back with only 2d image. So stupid of me. Not my gutta pertcha is sitting out of the apex into my periodontal area. It still has a wierd feeling. Just strange. I also have a pulled tooth and that area doesn't give me the weirdness going on in my rootcanel tooth. Did u get a cbct when u did your procedure?
@@SaraZadrozny how are you right now. ? Did the procedure not look good after doing it. U do need healing time just like if u had breast implants because it is a surgery which they don't Hense to us ppl enough. But I had mind done and the pertchas are so passed the apex and sitting in my periodontal area (gums). I'm hoping your gutta pertcha is nicely put atleast and healing better. I hope 🙏
I tell people, if you ever get a root canal go to a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope. A microscope will show you if the canals split. A regular dentist does not use a microscope and if you do a root canal with a regular dentist it wont work if the canals split. An Xray or one of those magnifying glasses dentists use wont show if the canals split. If your canals split and you have a dentist do the root canal with out using a microscope, the Root canal will not be successful. I can tell you, even my dentist admitted he wouldn't be able to do the root canal correctly if the canal's split. Dentists don't want to tell people this. I only found out about this, cause this happened to a friend of mine, who got a root canal from a dentist who didn't use a microscope and the root canal failed. He had to get another root canal from a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope. Then he had to get that same tooth re-crowned. So if you need a root canal, make sure you go to a endodontist.
I went to a dentist Who told me I needed a root canal in a lower back molar… So not knowing anything differently, I got the root canal done under some kind of anesthesia where I wasn’t even awake… After it was all over with, I was in such extreme pain for weeks and nothing helped and honestly I don’t even remember now why it stopped hurting… But my point is that after the root canal was done, the dentist actually was all excited saying oh my God I’ve never seen anything like that tooth I’ve never seen that kind of canal system… So it makes me think that he really botched it because of course there is no microscope and seven years later, my new dentist is telling me that I have a infection underneath that root canal and need to have the tooth pulled and I’ve been resisting that for a long time because I don’t feel any pain but now that I’ve been educated and informed I’m just mind blown
@@nanalovekidheart7419 Do you have a crown on that tooth that got the root canal. Before you get the tooth removed, go to an Endodontist to look at the tooth. It's still possible you can save this tooth. He will tell you using the microscope if the canals split and if the root canal can be redone to do it correctly.
@@danlivni2097 thank u fir the comment! Yes there’s a crown on that tooth; as well, I have at least five maybe six other root canal dead teeth with crowns -the first one occurring when I was 19 years old… And now I am almost 60… So, of course I am concerned now that I have discovered the toxic root canal information because I have suffered a lot of different health issues over the years…So I will look for a dentist like you recommended I am also going to wait until I read that book the toxic tooth which I just ordered
I've been in excruciating pain for 11months now. Went to the dentist, told me I need surgery to have my upper right very back tooth removed. The oral surgery = $4,000.00+ for one tooth. Couldn't afford it. Made an appointment w another dentist office, explained in detail everything &they said they could extract it. Just be 5wks bc of covud before they could get me in. So waited the 5wks in the worst pain of my life. Get to my apt finally&told right away that they don't do extractions for very back top....so here I am 11months later. On my 5th round of antibiotics (yes ik antibiotics are bad to take too often. I never take antibiotics usually &fear now it's become antibiotic resistant)on my 5th time of taking antibiotics &still excruciating) I can't afford to have surgery &now since this - I had a tooth chip! Never has that happened before. 4th back from the front, same side. & then also now my other side, bottom are hurting & top other side teeth are hurting. My lymphnodes are so swollen, the pain is in my ear, feels like someone is pushing a screwdriver in my ear&won't stop.,my lower jaw on both sides & inside my ear towards my face. I can't live like this anymore. Why can't I find a dentist who will just pull it/extract it for me?? I cry almost everyday. About every 5days, I'll finally get about 3-5days sometimes without pain or at least not too much pain. &then it's right back to excruciating. It's terrifying. Idk how I've lived like this for so long. I've had 2children& this pain is worse than labor. My whole life has deteriorated. I always feel so extremely guilty for not spending enough time w my kids&them having to hear "I'm in so much pain rn I'm sorry"& them seeing me cry, I try to go to the bathroom so no one can see me crying but sometimes I can't help it. They're missing out on their summer bc of me being in this debilitating pain. I can't do this anymore. ** oh& also before all of this started I had never even had a toothache in my life. Fun fact - my mother NEVER took me to a dentist , ever. I went to my 1st appointment when I was 27 to get 1 wisdom tooth removed. Now I'm 32&went for the appt I mentioned. I've always had nice straight, white teeth. I'm so depressed & desperate. I need help. I'm sorry as I'm sure this sounds like just complaining but I'm at my absolute breaking point.
I’m feel your pain too! I’m in pain with my molar #15 and going to try dsmo and tree tree oil on it to get rid of the infection. Still decided if I want the root canal or extract of my molar. My dentist said he will extract the teeth here in San Jose California but I have to wait for insurance to approve it 4-8 weeks. Meanwhile, he also said if gets very painful and swollen to go to the ER and maybe they will extract it there. 😩
How is your tooth you sound just like me bro! My god please I hope u got taken care of I’m scared for you please reply brother please god bless you with money and health I love you man I’m sorry
Bless your heart, Warmonger. I just went through 8 days of what you just described and my brain was flirting with suicidal thoughts. I am literally bawling right now at the thought of you dealing with that for a year. Please tell me you have gotten that tooth pulled. 😞
I removed my bad tooth that needed a root canal and put in a bridge!! Done!!! My last experience with a root canal Really messed me up and allergic symptoms from surgery.
Dr. Westin A. Price was the scientist that invented the root canal procedure. After studying 3000 subjects, he wrote extensively about the dangers of harm that root canals have been observed to cause. Modern dental schools do not teach this and most dentists (as with any practice or profession) become very proud of their academic achievements. They get the mortar board, go through the druidic/freemson ceremony, walking across the platform, receiving their secret scroll and something happens to their character. They become so arrogant, prideful and calcified in their schooling that they will close their ears off to any information that might discredit their accreditation. Who can find a dentist that educates themselves beyond their indoctrination? How can one find such a dentist?
@Scott W. Weston Price did not invent the root canal procedure. The procedure has evolved greatly since. Confounding modern endodontic procedures with those from almost one hundred years ago is analogous to judging current procedures in neurosurgery by brain surgery from 100 years ago.
I have delt with what u said. I have seen it full faced even when saying it can cause sinusitis when I had bleeding nose after my 2 molar procedure and the dentist coming back to me and saying I read the literature thiers no such thing I had to rebutle and say I read the literature too and it does say anyways i went and brought her a cbct and she back tracked. Very dispointing. It's like they don't want to explain to u anything additional in regards of loosing u as a patient so they disregard you. I had even worse experience were me and my husband left abscesd and 3 days before leaving the dentist was told no the filling didn't fail u must be sick with a uti . What uti I have never had a uti In my life. Let alone 3 days later absess in my mouth and my husband! I knew he was in pain. And when u go for 2nd opinion they other dentist protect each other and say well what do u want me to do. What peace of shits or arrogance they start truly being. Dumb leading the dumber. Sad
@@rocar38 true...but what is the alternative? 0 we need proper new science for clinical use no one has it now....i bit on a damn olive bone and my tooth got destroyed...no other option
The infectiuous bacteria will be swallowed into your gut biome!!! And that will WREAK HAVOC on your health. I'm glad I studied about root canals because my kids doctors would tell me that. I absolutely I'm going to get my tooth removed and no root canal. And I pray to get all my previous toxic fillings removed.
Hello, do you know something about the biology of this? I would like to know if if might be possible to do a root canal and filling on the tooth, and sterilize, remove and replace the gum around the tooth. Would this get rid of the infection? Ideally, get rid of the infection without having to extract the tooth. Is it a matter of not having the right drug to sterilize the area? Or, is it very unrealistic to isolate bacteria to sterilize it?
I was spouse to have a root canal done but after hearing how it will still get infected and most times it is not done properly I decided to have it extracted. Now I feel 💯
@@tre_4 yes I’m the future, I can’t afford implants right now as I am making car payment and car insurance payments which total up to almost $1000 a month plus my other expenses.
Yay great to see such a professional dentist as you against root canals! I am in the process of having mine pulled at the moment. 3 of them. All supee complicated. The first one didnt even come out in one go! I have to go back after a wk of ABs to get it out. But actually all this distress will be worth it. Because my health has been so bad (im 39 and lump in my stomach can barely eat anything i like), and i just know getting these out will be a game changer! Even just moving it has improved my symptoms.. 2.5 teeth left to go! 😂
I've had mine in for over 20yrs, last 15 or so have felt awful with all kinds of problems.. fibro, thyroid issues, dizziness, terrible head pain, shakiness.. the list goes on, having it holistically removed on Mon, ready to get my health back!
Hi,i had mine done in 2002.was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2005.Thinking of removing the root canal tooth although it didnt give me any other significant dental issues.please update after your removal
Not totally sure but I remember thinking it didn't seem right from the beginning. It's been an ongoing thing but I've had many intense things happen in my life that I always thought it was stress but my head pain has gotten so bad that I had to try this. I had to just get an antibiotic because my ear was getting infected so we'll see after I run through this 🙏
Westin Price already knew this in the 30"".The best thing is to regrow real teeth with amelogenin and bioactive film or with stem cells teeth,with the actual technology the teeth regrow in 9 weeks.But,we can't have them thank you to the dental lobbies.
@@NINTHSKULL Westin Price in in the 30""no 800,but 900,knew that the root canal it is toxic and the toxins in the gutta,gamma,percha,(the material they put in the tooth),is not reachable by antibiotics,so the bacteria reach the hearth causing hearth attacks and breast tumors.
@@tonytagliaferri1254 Do you think that root canal technology has not changed in 200 years? Nowadays they use biocompatable and osteogenic sealers to plug all passageways within the tooth after complete disinfection. Guttapercha does not leak into the body from within the tooth because it is a solid, if you have evidence to show it does please share it I would like to read up. Why would antibiotics have anything to do with guttapercha toxins? Antibiotics kill bacteria, not rubber, and antibiotics are not even prescribed for root canals.
My friend told me about a book called The root canal cover up and it's written by The xx president of the American dentistry Association and is on Amazon. He used to be for root canals and now he's against them. I would not have to tell him root because I have a metal allergy but I understand from what I've read that zirconia root implant is inert as it is not porous and doesn't have miles of tubes inside it can't get infected like a root canal dead tooth as far as I understand
You got saliva to protect you from infection.root canal tooth will only be infected if the infected nerve and pulp were not removed and disinfected properly other is when not sealed properly.
I hate it when I look up things too late. I already got my RCT done (will come back tomorrow) and now I’m regretting it and should’ve just had my tooth taken out siiiiiigh. I regret my life decisions :’’)
Hi, yes I just proceeded with it. It’s been 3 months now since I got it done. I feel fine now, but I do worry about its effects later on. Recently, also read about how it affects the lymphatic system. Well, I’ll definitely get mine removed in the future when I save up some money again.
I'm in the middle of my first root canal; needs 2 visits for this tooth, unfortunately. Hoping when all is done and healed, my sinus headaches will decrease in frequency!!!
How are you doing now? I've got sinus pressure and weird sensations in my sinus and brain fog for the past 4 days after root canal. Did it go away for you?
@@shawn1869 Hi Shawn, My sinus headaches are less often but still there periodically. I have mild tooth sensitivity though; dentists says it could take up to 1 year to go away. Good Luck with your symptoms!

Get it out now, if something does not feel right off from your other root canals then something is wrong. I ignored my bad root canal, eventually the pressure went away because the bacteria bursts into your blood stream you might think everything is fine because the area no longer is uncomfortable but its flooding your body with poison.
Had a root canal done close to a decade ago. About a year ago I noticed an abcess forming on my gumline beneath the tooth i had the root canal on. It took me up until a couple weeks ago to get to dentist due to having trouble finding one that takes my insurance. They said yes, the root canal is infected. I have to make an appontment with endodontist so they can determine if they can perform another root canal to 'save' the tooth or if it needs to be extracted. I wish they would just extract the thing. Not all, but it seems most people i see online who have had root canals always end up with an issue with it afterward. Im worried about having to get the root canal redone, only to develop another infection down the road. So, just take care of your teeth best you can to avoid getting to the point of needing a root canal - cuz it seems majority of the time it causes nothing but problems.
Get it yanked out they will push you to retreat they are not your friends, its how they make money. Once a root canal failed it never work the 2nd time on a redo the bacteria is in the dead tooth along the outside of the dead root you cannot get rid of it only clean up the overspill. They use terms like 'save natural tooth' its dead there is nothing natural about leaving dead organic matter in your body it will leak bacteria, it will cause sickness, cancer huge consistent pressure on your immune system.
Right, correct. My doctor told me I needed a root canal in back to upper teeth. I said no thank you after they said I have to wait until December. Just pull the worse one please. Thank u
I know it feels awful but let me spare all of you people wondering if to get a root canal from having to think about what to do: Get the tooth pulled. Your body will be healthier for it. I was suckered into a root canal and got a bad systemic infection that was already affecting my heart. Luckily all the symptoms went away after pulling the tooth
If you don't get an Implant, it's possible for the adjacent tooth to shift towards the pulled tooth. Plus, there's the possibility of bone loss. I have had 2 Root Canals that were not necessary. One of them has been hurting right from the very beginning.
Before I give my answer, let me just say that TOO MANY dentists are SCAMMERS. I have been scammed by 3 of them. Yes. 3. After that, I got more scammers that I ignored. I have lost faith in them. That's why, I am visiting a dentist in a different state, tomorrow. I hope he clears all my doubts and problems. So, don't take decisions in a hurry. Anyway, to answer your question, here is my answer. I do NOT know for sure. I need scientific literature on the subject. I have to get it from somewhere, soon. All I have come to know from some random websites is the following. Jawbone, upper or lower, can deteriorate if teeth are lost. Why ? Because both Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts are responsible for keeping Bone Structure intact. Osteoblasts regenerate bone while Osteoclasts destroy bone. A balance between the two exists throughout a person's life. Osteoblasts are stimulated while chewing. If the tooth is lost, then Osteoblasts will not be stimulated. So, Osteoclasts will do the job and slowly, slowly, eat away the bone. This is called bone loss. Now, I am not sure about this. Please go through some scientific literature. Where to find ? Maybe just from a good university ? I have to speak to my University to get the most reliable source on the subject. Try to do the same. If my point about Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts is right, then I think bone loss is inevitable, scientifically speaking. The Implant, being a replacement, will result in Osteoblast stimulation again. So, maybe that will prevent bone loss. Again, read about it.
I’d like to know what you can do when you need a root canal. I just had my first one. I was in terrible pain and now I’m pain free. So what’s an alternative? Also it cost me $3,500 so I’m not taking it out but would like another solution should I be facing this again in the future!!!
Where is the evidence for these claims? Please provide peer reviewed literature before spreading misinformation. Ps, these guys love extracting perfectly fine root canal treated teeth and replacing them with very expensive metal screws. Implants can also have problems. Not sure how a titanium screw is more holistic than an RCTd tooth
Bro I've had root canals in basically all my molars at this point. As a kid I ate lots of sugar and soda and pretty much never brushed my teeth. As an adult I'm now super anal about taking care of my teeth, brush several times a day, always brush shortly after eating (but not immediately, cuz apparently that's bad), floss nearly every time I brush. I learned my lesson, but the damage was done, and adult-me has had to pay the price for kid-me's folly. Literally. My cents insurance is bs, so we're talking like $1000 per root canal, another $1000 for each crown I needed, *another* $1000 to replace an old crown that came loose in my dinner and got swallowed... Anyway, never had a problem with toxicity in any of my root canals. Not once. Honestly I've never even heard of that happening before now. Not saying it doesn't happen, just saying I've never heard of it. I had no idea this was a thing. But ya know what? I really don't care. I'm fine, my "dead teeth" are fine, and most importantly I can still *chew my food* If I'd had every tooth that needed a root canal pulled instead, my ability to eat normal food would now be severely impaired. Ya know, since implants are even more expensive than root canals. There's no way I coulda done that. Just, no. Might have had to get *everything* pulled and got full dentures. In my 20s. And even then I wouldn't be able to comfortably eat certain things. Yeah, I'll take the root canals, thanks. Oh and you know what else? Kinda slightly off topic, but while I'm thinking about it, root canals are *not* painful if they do it right. Boring sometimes, you could be in that chair for like an hour, but not painful. In fact, the endodontic file actually feels pretty good imo. It reminds me of like scratching an itch. So satisfying
I'm about to get my first soon. To be honest I think most of these stories might be bullshit...The mind creates symptoms you start to believe, and if you start to believe its related to your root canal you will start feeling shit. Read the comments in this video, apparently a root canal/tooth can give you anxiety and depression..I've had those most of my life without having any work done to my teeth already lol.

All these 'fixes' are unbelievably expensive. Had a root canal and then regular checkups and cleanings. Just this week an adjacent molar came out. Bone tips remained in and now will have to be removed. Infection down to the bone that has to be removed. Pray they don't hit the nerve-they tell me. Nerve damage could leave me with no feeling on teeth, gums, lip - who knows. Man, I'm pretty worried. Can’t afford a periodontist or tens of thousands of dollars for implants. This stuff is nuts!!!
@@happylucky7964 You only have three choices, extraction, root canal or implant. My question is this, if root canals are so dangerous why are they still used?
@@miajones2731however, if you need to replace the tooth, that’s a LOT more money, and my insurance wouldn’t cover. Losing a tooth has complications as well.
I went to the dentist for an infected tooth, the dentist recommended a root canal and went through my insurance for a referral to a root canal Dr. I started researching and now I would rather have the tooth extracted. I called my dentist and was told that the Doctor feels that the tooth is saveable with the root canal and won't give me an estimate for an extraction. Now I feel that I need to find a new dentist. SMH.
Was just told I need possibly 3 root canals, even though the pulp is not infected on 2 of them. Was told that when the teeth are cleaned out, the depth of the decay will likely be too close to the nerve and pulp to avoid a root canal. I don't get it. If the pulp isn't affected yet, why can't I just get a filling?
@@kellyblodgett7 Thank you so much, doc! I sent you an email. Offices are closed due to COVID-19, so I don't have the X-rays, unfortunately. Will be signing an ROI and getting them soon.
What was the answer? I have an absess in my gum above the tooth but the root isnt infected but told to have a root canal. I have a filling in that tooth from yrs ago that was supposed to prevent me from needing a root canal. This is frustrating. Curious what u found out
Had a failed root canal on a front tooth with abcess removed on an emergency basis two days ago. Am on antibiotic now. Could not reach my regular dentist, went to emergency dentist. Root canal just done 4 or 5 months ago. Working on finding a new dentist. I have lost faith in my current one.
@@kevini4295 I've posted about this before on here. I tell people, if you ever get a root canal go to a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope. A microscope will show you if the canals split. A regular dentist does not use a microscope and if you do a root canal with a regular dentist it wont work if the canals split. An Xray or one of those magnifying glasses dentists use wont show if the canals split. If your canals split and you have a dentist do the root canal with out using a microscope, the Root canal will not be successful. I can tell you, even my dentist admitted he wouldn't be able to do the root canal correctly if the canal's split. Dentists don't want to tell people this. I only found out about this, cause this happened to a friend of mine, who got a root canal from a dentist who didn't use a microscope and the root canal failed. He had to get another root canal from a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope. Then he had to get that same tooth re-crowned. So if you need a root canal, make sure you go to a endodontist.
@@danlivni2097 you are so right. I am finding this out the hard way. I lost my front tooth because of it. My dentist should have referred me to an endodontist and didn't. Now I will have to a bride to deal with the missing tooth.

Experience has led me to the conclusion that root canals are a huge culprit in periodontal disease. I'm 69. In my particular case, pockets deeper than 4 mm are rarely seen except where I have had past root canals.
I got my wisdom teeth extracted just now. I feel immense relief from the pain. Basically my dentist recommended its better to pull it out because the teeth was damaged and since it's wisdom teeth, it's hard to do the caps of RCT. My recommendation is, keep the rest of your tooth from decaying. I will keep it damn sure cuz I ate a lot of pain
I have had an x-ray recently by my holistic dentist and she did not mention anything wrong with my teeth. I have many composite fillings and one tooth in the back i can tell is off and emits an odor even after brushing. I have no pain. Is it possible I have a dead tooth? What are safe root canal alternatives? Zirconium implant?
My husband's breath smells quite bad even a couple of hours after brushing. Brushing only helps for a little while but the bad breath comes with a vengeance.
@@Michelle.RealEstate antibiotic mouth rinse? I have never heard of such a thing, thanks for suggesting it. He used to do oil pulling but a while ago, he hasn't done it lately, I will ask him to resume the habit. Thanks!
So you advise NOT doing a root canal to begin with? It basically just leaves a dead tooth in your mouth? What percent of root canal teeth eventually get lost? Makes no sense to spend thousands of $ (root canal + crown) just to lose it in the end several years later. My dentist says I need RC. But I am not in pain (just a bit of sensitivity). Makes no sense for me to ruin my tooth when it's not causing a problem. I will wait until it is a bigger problem and then decide what to do. Right now, I imagine the RC could cause more issues than I have now. How long can I wait before doing something? I have had this sensitivity for over a year now - from the moment my dentist placed filling material (below gum line). In all this time the sensitivity has not gotten worse, though it has not gone away either. If it is not getting worse, what's the harm of leaving it be? At least the tooth is still getting nourished.
So my question is, is it safer for the rest of your body long-term to just pull the tooth out instead of getting a root canal? Just trying to avoid the part where you said the infected bacteria will end up in the blood stream!
I also have a question. Why can't they sterilize the area (tooth and gums) rather than pulling the tooth out and requiring an implant? It doesn't seem like this option is available, but why? For example, do a root canal and filing, and laser treatment for the infected gum around the tooth. Replace the gum that was removed.
Ya just pull it There could be complications with pulling a tooth But most the time it's fine, be better then having a infected root canal tooth One side effect that might happen with missing teeth is the other teeth my shift I had 4 teeth pulled, 2 wisdom, I molar It's been a few years since those 3 been pulled, n so far no problems that I noticed, they seemed to healed up fine the bone n gum in this missing tooth spot Today I just got another one pulled
I want to chew. And not be in pain. I’m in so much pain and it’s my fault/genetics that is to blame. I try to take care of my teeth to the best of my ability but they still deteriorate. I know my struggle and I try to budget for it. I believe that if u find a good and humble dentist we can get though this. Thanks for the video and humbleness ❤
I hear oil pulling reduces the bacteria in the mouth and whiten ur teeth. Of course, make sure you get a proper cleaning first if u plan to start swishing coconut oil in ur mouth.
My gum at that specific tooth got abcess for about 1 and half year on and off. I went for root canal treatment as the dr confirmed my tooth was dead and infecting the gum.. And now in the process for zirconia crown. Its my 1st molar btw.
October 2022, had a sensitive tooth after having a filling done. I couldnt see a dentist for until January 2023 due to a pandemlc in town, so then i had an abscess. The dentist had me decide to have an extraction or a root canal, and I chose the latter. Finally had the RCT last month. Thank god i had an endodontist do it I guess, but i still got a couple of issues... First, the abscess is still there. It shrunk a little but its still concerning after reading the general info that its supposed to be gone within a few days when it's only been one month with little to no improvements. Second, the past 5 days I've noticed the right side of my head had been aching a lil more than usual (before RCT, it'd only occur once a month at most). In the middle of a quiet night, i swear i could hear faint churning and feel throbbing in that same area. Despite me telling them this today and asking if i should take some antibiotics, they said there's no need to, and suggest I give it some time. At least they're willing to do an x-ray in a couple of months i guess, but I'm thinking of asking if they should do the x-ray this week.
You are lucky then. Just because it didn’t happen to you doesn’t mean it’s bs . Be thankful you had a good endodontist…. Don’t invalidate others experiences just because yours turned out okay
This is such utter BS. And can easily be disproven. But hey, when most of your audience doesn't know a snakeoil salesmen's pitch when they hear it?? well PT Barnum was correct.
Thanks for the great video. 2yrs ago I went to see a dentist coz I a discomfort on my right lower 1st molar teeth and ask him to examine it. After looking at it, he said he can't find anything wrong and it just looks fine. Then he gets a tool and started to knock each of teeth one by one and asking, does this hurt? How about this one? Until he found one that I said it hurts a little and then he said, this one needs root canal. Long story short, after 2yrs it still hurts.Now I'm suffering from severe chronic pain. Before this teeth doesn't hurt when I drink cold water, only if I eat ice cream, but now every time I drink top water even in summer time it hurts.. guys I'm telling you, this kind of dentist are not dentist they are con artist. You're literally buying pain from them. Please, if you want waste money and have some pain. Just buy yourself an exotic pet and ask a random athletic guy to punch you in the face.
@@timrault Hey Tim, a big YEs for Improvement. It has been about 6 months now and went to a holistic dentist who knew to pull them out. Normal dentist will not pull them and you suffer. I have no more joint pain, sleep well and more energy.😃
@@pattimurphy5151 Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I'm glad that you're better now ! I had root canal on an upper molar when I was 12 and I have been constantly tired ever since. I'm thinking about getting the tooth pulled
Dentists seem to be divided on this matter. My dentist gave me the option of a root canal or extraction. My back upper left molar is infected, causing immense pain. The antibiotics have been working phenomenally (hardly any pain right now). I just want to know what option is best for me 😫 My dentist did seem more confident about extraction, though.
Antibiotics are also killing the good bacteria in your gut. As he said, a tooth that has had a root canal done to it is a "dead" body part and it will only be a matter of time until you will develope a chronic infection. Pain is your warning now to get that tooth extracted before the infection spreads elsewhere in your body. Also you are risking bone loss which can affect neighboring teeth.
Thanks for explaining. My wisdom tooth is in severe cavity and is in pain. My dentist said it's less likely the root canal is successful since tooth. Should I get it extracted (removed)?
I didn't 'choose', I went in for a molar that I thought had cracked or split (I could wiggle half of it. Only had one week of pain after the event. Well, 5 months after the root canal I have excruciating pain. I can't eat, I'm on small bits of cheese, and anything I can swallow whole. Dentist says everything is fine. Years ago I had a root canal that disintegrated 5 years later and I said never again, but here we are. I wonder just how many suicides are caused by root canals?
@@sweetcheeks5775 i think they're trying to say how deppresing dental problems and treatments can be. Especially when you don't have much money while your mental and physical health is draining day by day.
100%. I had THREE failed root canals. 2 ended up in severe pain, abscesses, infections right down to jaw (lower molars) and had to be surgically extracted. I then chose to get the last one removed and although symptomless there was a big abscess under it that hadn't shown on the cone beam xrays. Also i got an autoimmune disease 6 months after my first root canal. Absolute toxic poison. My dentists are criminals in my opinion
@@roisinmc7442 hi, i have one root canal that i got done like 12 years ago. i had bothersome pains in that tooth for like 2 or three years and then it completely stopped. then i have chronic fatigue and insomnia and i get too tense for the majority of the day. do the symptoms that i just mentioned happened to you too ?
@@susanwjoh0re735 yes I got unexplained fatigue, joint pain, anxiety, allergies I had never had to everything and the worst symptom was very severe dry eyes. All of these symptoms are much reduced now all the root canals are gone.
Hang on, but a tooth created with a root canal is filled up with a dental cermet so ever if bacteria get through the tooth layers they don't have anywhere to go, the whole tooth gets filled up and sealed?
I had pain for 1,5 week couldn't eat or drink felt the sensitivity # pain on my right side . But it stopped. .. dont have a cavity ...my teeth are sensitive... called my dentist...im scared
Had my first root canal 38 years and 4 months ago. The crown fell off last week. My dentist "glued" it back in there and hopefully it will last. I've only had one root canal fail, and that was a quick fix as well. I don't fear root canals.
There are no scientific evidence that backs up the claim that root canal procedures are bad for your health. What CAN be a problem though, is poorly skilled dentists, that also doesn't take hygiene serious enough, and THAT can cause all kinds of complications, like different kinds of infection. If done properly, a root canal procedure is completely safe to do. Several decades, and millions of patients backs that up statistically.

I don't mind root canals. if it can fix where there is no more pain I'm happy with that and with no sensitivity from cold or hot I'm gamed and if the Dentist recommends to remove the tooth which I've had that happen then so be it. I rather feel much better than be in pain.
Before you make any decision on an irreversible procedure one needs to fully understand all the issues. You need a RCT ... then the only other option is extraction of the tooth. Now the expensive things become a part of the decision process with either an implant, removable partial denture, a bridge or live with the space.
Rct is still the best option, missing tooth can cause bone lost on the jaw and will lead to many problems as well. Again you got saliva that combat the bacteria inside your mouth, you shouldnt be bothered by the phorous of the enamel of the root canal treated tooth.

@@gillespaling7039 No blood or nerve supply means dead. Think about it, the body cannot survive without oxygen for a maximum of a couple mins but usually much less than that, that's why suffocation is so fast.. Figure this to yourself, apart of the bloods role is bringing oxygen to organs, but even more importantly is nerve-supply. Remember the couple min's at most the body can survive without oxygen? Well... Every organ in the body including the brain cannot survive for a SECOND without nerve-supply. If blood and especially nerve-supply are absent in an organ, then that organ is dead.
@@aquacandela3705 But the tooth is still supplied with blood from the penetrating alveolar bone vessels and anastomosing vessels of the gingiva despite the apex being blocked off. Again, the tooth is not dead as I have pointed out there are still living cells that exist outside the endodontium.
"your immune system has been doing the job of draining the infection" does this mean that with enough care the immune system could eventually destroy the infection completely or is that not possible?
It is not possible because the tooth has no more Nerve vessels and blood vessels connected to your system, so it could not detect the infection at all.
@@TaiPan33 you know, I'm starting to feel like teeth are getting a raw deal and are completely screwed you know? no regenerative ability, no immune system defense, and if not taken care of consistently will need to be removed in under 20 years, they seem pretty fumped honestly
@@10jimmy True, they are pretty sensitive despite their structure, but to be honest, there is some truth that we are Neglecting them and not taking good care of them because we don't know that they are vital and essential, and that they are connected to all our organs over all our bodys, and that if the nerve system of a tooth is dead it should be extracted with good care and cleaning, because no matter what it's a dead part of the body and should be removed at all cost to prevent toxic bacterias to flourish there.
a good analogy is having superhuman healing abilities, but you'd have to get continously get drowned. Basically as long as the infection source is there your body can only do so much.
I did my root canal last year, I already had my doubts but little knowledge to back it up. An year later, it's infected and they ask me to redo it. What should I do guys ?
antibiotics help. And daily supplementation of oregano oil, kills the bacteria. However, it doesn't kill all of it, but with a clean diet and high immune system, you can be okay. But if there is a lot of loss to the tooth structure...that would be uncomfortable when it comes to chewing.
@@voguehaven5154 yes a good diet etc will help prevent getting decay or abcess. But once the decay has reached the pulp and nerves, something needs to be done i.e. getting a root canel. Other wise the bacteria will spread to the bones and even jaw.

Even with no pain, you can have an infection that's leading to bone loss; it happened to me. If the RCT feels 'off' just get it scanned; maybe you can't save the tooth, but you can save the bone.
Do you know how was the cleaning procedure that the dentist did after removing your RCT?
true. sometimes you'll have pain temporarily but that is from the nerves in your tooth being damaged. once they're too damaged no more pain but you'll still have a bad infection
I’m going through this right now. The dentist I was seeing said it was periodontist but it only seems to be worsening in one area of my teeth and that’s where the root canal is. She didn’t deal with it though. I just kept getting cleanings. She knew about the infection too. I went to see a Biological Dentist and he said there’s an infection there. He asked me if that tooth has never felt right to me and it hasn’t. I’ve had root canals done on it since I was a child. At this point I just want it out. I believe it’s also contributing to my autoimmune issues.
I hate when dentist say “We need to save the tooth” but tooth dead once root canal is preformed so it just sounds so manipulative to me now.
they dont need to save your tooth , more like they need / want your money
Saving the tooth in a sense still being to use the tooth (even though it's by making it dead) rather than having to remove the tooth and use denture.

Why is the topic of root canals the most confusing and contradictory medical topic out there right now? I'm amazed at how both sides of this debate seem 100% convinced they are right. What's the truth here? People like myself want to make a well-informed decision about this topic but everything out there is incredibly contradictory. Who do we believe?
Are root canals 100% safe if the endodontist successfully removes all of the infected tissue before sealing up the tooth? Or, are they never safe because bacteria will continue to seep into the tooth over time and since the tooth has no blood supply the body cannot fight the infection?
This is an exhausting topic. Makes me want to just err on the side of caution and go with extraction, but that seems to have another set of issues.

Knees, sacral joint, and stinging elbows the past year. They all say arthritis. No, it is always on the move if that makes sense. I told my husband the past year I feel as if my body is fighting something.
I get dental cleanings twice a year and last year due to COVID I only went in November. The new dentist (I moved) said the teeth under crowns are mushy. MUSHY? I went back a month later to have crowns removed and recrowned. She took off Number 1 crown, OMG it was filled with mercury, green, brown, black, gold, rotting!! Mind you, I had NO pain or taste. The dentist and periodontist could not believe how old the root canals are.
She looked at the other crown, the tooth under was half gone! The X-rays showed little white balls on the bottom of the roots.
Off to periodontist. He did the whole head X-ray. the decay had gotten close to the jaw bone. They both must come out. They came out this past week. I did bone grafts and collagen inside the pocket. The pain from the procedure has been off the charts even on meds and antibiotics and my probiotics. Today is day 3 after surgery. I am on the mend!!
The GREAT news.... My crippling joint and muscle pain are gone! I can bend my arms with little or no pain. The strange swollen balls on my ankles are gone! I feel lighter, I feel joy. The poison is out of my body.
Tomorrow I go for an ion foot bath to begin to remove residual mercury and toxins. Then a detox diet.
Listen to what Dr. Dana says!!! IT is TRUE. I am on the road to recovery.
Thanks for sharing your story. Very interesting. I’m going to have my root canaled tooth removed when I get some more money. These dentists ought to be ashamed of themselves for doing these procedures on teens and young adults. The ADA should be decommissioned too. They know about the adverse effects and still push these dentists to perform these procedures.
What are you going to put in place of the root can Diana? Just leave a hole?
So you had a root canal 44 years ago... and left the crown in place thats only supposed to last 15 years tops? I'm confused how the root canal was toxic but clearly your dentist wasn't checking on them in the meantime, or you weren't practicing proper dental hygiene...?
Diana I am getting my root canal removed. I have another one as well. How are you feeling now?
I ALWAYS see this with my chronic pain and inflammation clients!
yeah its true,, root canals are very dangerous don't get them, i have suffered a lot because of them thank god i watched root cause movie and read weston price research and them pulled them out there was a lot pf infection there amd it was not causing me pain at all nothing and i had palpitations, liver disease, neurological conditions, insomnia, anxiety, osteoporosis, joint pain i used to cry some nights thinking what is wrong with me because of insomnia and anxiety i coundn't sleep thank god i am fine now after extraction
Wow! But glad ure feeling better
wow so your insomnia went away? do you sleep like a baby now?
@@mikepaquette1245 yes everything improved all symptoms gone
i feel amazing now,, ,
@@dhirajkumar-xs4ug About how long did it take for remission of everything? I got a root canal out a couple days ago
@@mikepaquette1245 mine took 6 month to one year,, it depends on your body's ability how soon it can get rid of all toxins,bacteria,inflammation and oxidative stress that it has gone through u can take antibiotics for 15-20 days and antioxidants, for 5,6 months it will help u heal sooner
Thank you for explaining. My dentist never explained why I needed a root canal.
I don't know what country you're in but in the UK or something called informed consent and really your dentist should have explained to you before you have any medical procedure you should have under the law everything explain to you in order to be in a position to make informed consent
@@Stardust_Truth_Seeker sorry I don't agree with you, I'm where exactly because dentist explain alf of it, nothing about toxicity. So you must have a dentist who cares?
Most root canals are not even necessary... a crown would fix the problem. Get second opinions when they tell you that
@@ItsMefromSnuffys do you mean filling the cavity, leaving the nerve/roots in place, and placing a crown?
They do root canal if cavity decayed into the pulp and canals, they should have showed you x ray and explained. You can tell it's in canals and pulp through x ray even if not a dentist. If it didn't sting with cold ice spray on tool touching your tooth for more than a quick instant, probably didn't need a root canal yet. probably didn't need canal they could have filled it for you or filled and crown. Also good dentist will probably send you to an endontist. As a root canal takes up a lot of time and can be very difficult despite images they take. They have a tight schedule and root canal in middle or start of day can piss a lot of people off. Dentist wanted your money probably if they jumped the gun too soon. I'd ask for x rays
A friend of mine has had his 17 (yes really) root canals and crowns last for over 26 years at this point with zero issues, he went to an endodontist. When I was 17 I had a root canal at a general dentist not knowing any better and it failed causing me to need the tooth pulled anyway; and to make it even worse they took a piece of my jawbone with it when it came out requiring even more corrective work. It really depends on how competent the person messing with your mouth is. If you go to a competent endo who does it properly you'll be completely fine, getting a rc from a regular dentist has a bit of a russian roulette aspect honestly.
This happened to me I had a root canal and now a few days later still in pain.. I'm going to have to get it pulled. Lesson learned is please everyone go to an endodontist when getting root canals!!
Yes happened with me. I need a 3rd root canel. And I think I will do endo this time. Weather my general dentist like it or not. I let her do two molars In the back with only 2d image. So stupid of me. Not my gutta pertcha is sitting out of the apex into my periodontal area. It still has a wierd feeling. Just strange. I also have a pulled tooth and that area doesn't give me the weirdness going on in my rootcanel tooth. Did u get a cbct when u did your procedure?
@@SaraZadrozny how are you right now. ? Did the procedure not look good after doing it. U do need healing time just like if u had breast implants because it is a surgery which they don't Hense to us ppl enough. But I had mind done and the pertchas are so passed the apex and sitting in my periodontal area (gums). I'm hoping your gutta pertcha is nicely put atleast and healing better. I hope 🙏
@Deniz I'm not feeling any pain anymore, thank god!
@@SaraZadrozny so you didn’t get it pulled?
I tell people, if you ever get a root canal go to a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope.
A microscope will show you if the canals split. A regular dentist does not use a microscope and if you do a root canal with a regular dentist it wont work if the canals split. An Xray or one of those magnifying glasses dentists use wont show if the canals split. If your canals split and you have a dentist do the root canal with out using a microscope, the Root canal will not be successful.
I can tell you, even my dentist admitted he wouldn't be able to do the root canal correctly if the canal's split. Dentists don't want to tell people this.
I only found out about this, cause this happened to a friend of mine, who got a root canal from a dentist who didn't use a microscope and the root canal failed.
He had to get another root canal from a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope. Then he had to get that same tooth re-crowned. So if you need a root canal, make sure you go to a endodontist.
Thanks for the valuable information! 😃
I went to a dentist Who told me I needed a root canal in a lower back molar… So not knowing anything differently, I got the root canal done under some kind of anesthesia where I wasn’t even awake… After it was all over with, I was in such extreme pain for weeks and nothing helped and honestly I don’t even remember now why it stopped hurting… But my point is that after the root canal was done, the dentist actually was all excited saying oh my God I’ve never seen anything like that tooth I’ve never seen that kind of canal system… So it makes me think that he really botched it because of course there is no microscope and seven years later, my new dentist is telling me that I have a infection underneath that root canal and need to have the tooth pulled and I’ve been resisting that for a long time because I don’t feel any pain but now that I’ve been educated and informed I’m just mind blown
@@nanalovekidheart7419 Do you have a crown on that tooth that got the root canal. Before you get the tooth removed, go to an Endodontist to look at the tooth. It's still possible you can save this tooth.
He will tell you using the microscope if the canals split and if the root canal can be redone to do it correctly.
@@danlivni2097 thank u fir the comment! Yes there’s a crown on that tooth; as well, I have at least five maybe six other root canal dead teeth with crowns -the first one occurring when I was 19 years old… And now I am almost 60… So, of course I am concerned now that I have discovered the toxic root canal information because I have suffered a lot of different health issues over the years…So I will look for a dentist like you recommended I am also going to wait until I read that book the toxic tooth which I just ordered
@@nanalovekidheart7419 What about implants. Aren't those dead teeth too
I've been in excruciating pain for 11months now. Went to the dentist, told me I need surgery to have my upper right very back tooth removed. The oral surgery = $4,000.00+ for one tooth. Couldn't afford it. Made an appointment w another dentist office, explained in detail everything &they said they could extract it. Just be 5wks bc of covud before they could get me in. So waited the 5wks in the worst pain of my life. Get to my apt finally&told right away that they don't do extractions for very back top....so here I am 11months later. On my 5th round of antibiotics (yes ik antibiotics are bad to take too often. I never take antibiotics usually &fear now it's become antibiotic resistant)on my 5th time of taking antibiotics &still excruciating) I can't afford to have surgery &now since this - I had a tooth chip! Never has that happened before. 4th back from the front, same side. & then also now my other side, bottom are hurting & top other side teeth are hurting. My lymphnodes are so swollen, the pain is in my ear, feels like someone is pushing a screwdriver in my ear&won't stop.,my lower jaw on both sides & inside my ear towards my face. I can't live like this anymore. Why can't I find a dentist who will just pull it/extract it for me?? I cry almost everyday. About every 5days, I'll finally get about 3-5days sometimes without pain or at least not too much pain. &then it's right back to excruciating. It's terrifying. Idk how I've lived like this for so long. I've had 2children& this pain is worse than labor. My whole life has deteriorated. I always feel so extremely guilty for not spending enough time w my kids&them having to hear "I'm in so much pain rn I'm sorry"& them seeing me cry, I try to go to the bathroom so no one can see me crying but sometimes I can't help it. They're missing out on their summer bc of me being in this debilitating pain. I can't do this anymore. ** oh& also before all of this started I had never even had a toothache in my life. Fun fact - my mother NEVER took me to a dentist , ever. I went to my 1st appointment when I was 27 to get 1 wisdom tooth removed. Now I'm 32&went for the appt I mentioned. I've always had nice straight, white teeth. I'm so depressed & desperate. I need help. I'm sorry as I'm sure this sounds like just complaining but I'm at my absolute breaking point.
I’m feel your pain too! I’m in pain with my molar #15 and going to try dsmo and tree tree oil on it to get rid of the infection. Still decided if I want the root canal or extract of my molar. My dentist said he will extract the teeth here in San Jose California but I have to wait for insurance to approve it 4-8 weeks. Meanwhile, he also said if gets very painful and swollen to go to the ER and maybe they will extract it there. 😩
Humm, get it extracted or a rooth canal as soon as possible. If not, you can get blood poisoning from the infection
How are you doing with that tooth?
How is your tooth you sound just like me bro! My god please I hope u got taken care of I’m scared for you please reply brother please god bless you with money and health I love you man I’m sorry
Bless your heart, Warmonger. I just went through 8 days of what you just described and my brain was flirting with suicidal thoughts. I am literally bawling right now at the thought of you dealing with that for a year. Please tell me you have gotten that tooth pulled. 😞
I removed my bad tooth that needed a root canal and put in a bridge!! Done!!! My last experience with a root canal
Really messed me up and allergic symptoms from surgery.
Dr. Westin A. Price was the scientist that invented the root canal procedure. After studying 3000 subjects, he wrote extensively about the dangers of harm that root canals have been observed to cause. Modern dental schools do not teach this and most dentists (as with any practice or profession) become very proud of their academic achievements. They get the mortar board, go through the druidic/freemson ceremony, walking across the platform, receiving their secret scroll and something happens to their character. They become so arrogant, prideful and calcified in their schooling that they will close their ears off to any information that might discredit their accreditation.
Who can find a dentist that educates themselves beyond their indoctrination?
How can one find such a dentist?
They will destroy your enamel for any reason and say they wanna save your tooth.
@Scott W. Weston Price did not invent the root canal procedure. The procedure has evolved greatly since. Confounding modern endodontic procedures with those from almost one hundred years ago is analogous to judging current procedures in neurosurgery by brain surgery from 100 years ago.
Go for one who will listen to you and respect your opinion, just like mine. Any one who ridicules you for your opinion is a bad dentist..
I have delt with what u said. I have seen it full faced even when saying it can cause sinusitis when I had bleeding nose after my 2 molar procedure and the dentist coming back to me and saying I read the literature thiers no such thing I had to rebutle and say I read the literature too and it does say anyways i went and brought her a cbct and she back tracked. Very dispointing. It's like they don't want to explain to u anything additional in regards of loosing u as a patient so they disregard you. I had even worse experience were me and my husband left abscesd and 3 days before leaving the dentist was told no the filling didn't fail u must be sick with a uti . What uti I have never had a uti In my life. Let alone 3 days later absess in my mouth and my husband! I knew he was in pain. And when u go for 2nd opinion they other dentist protect each other and say well what do u want me to do. What peace of shits or arrogance they start truly being. Dumb leading the dumber. Sad
@@rocar38 true...but what is the alternative? 0 we need proper new science for clinical use no one has it now....i bit on a damn olive bone and my tooth got destroyed...no other option
The infectiuous bacteria will be swallowed into your gut biome!!! And that will WREAK HAVOC on your health. I'm glad I studied about root canals because my kids doctors would tell me that. I absolutely I'm going to get my tooth removed and no root canal. And I pray to get all my previous toxic fillings removed.
Hello, do you know something about the biology of this? I would like to know if if might be possible to do a root canal and filling on the tooth, and sterilize, remove and replace the gum around the tooth. Would this get rid of the infection?
Ideally, get rid of the infection without having to extract the tooth.
Is it a matter of not having the right drug to sterilize the area? Or, is it very unrealistic to isolate bacteria to sterilize it?
I was spouse to have a root canal done but after hearing how it will still get infected and most times it is not done properly I decided to have it extracted. Now I feel 💯
any plans on getting an implant ?
Yea, I heard that if you let the gap other teeth fall out

Yay great to see such a professional dentist as you against root canals! I am in the process of having mine pulled at the moment. 3 of them. All supee complicated. The first one didnt even come out in one go! I have to go back after a wk of ABs to get it out. But actually all this distress will be worth it. Because my health has been so bad (im 39 and lump in my stomach can barely eat anything i like), and i just know getting these out will be a game changer! Even just moving it has improved my symptoms.. 2.5 teeth left to go! 😂
I've had mine in for over 20yrs, last 15 or so have felt awful with all kinds of problems.. fibro, thyroid issues, dizziness, terrible head pain, shakiness.. the list goes on, having it holistically removed on Mon, ready to get my health back!
Please share updates on how you feel afterwards.
Hi,i had mine done in 2002.was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2005.Thinking of removing the root canal tooth although it didnt give me any other significant dental issues.please update after your removal
As of now not much, but hoping! I would do it too because I think they have proven it to be linked to thyroid problems as well as many others
@@journeytofreedom1077 when did you first started experiencing these symptoms after the root canal?
Not totally sure but I remember thinking it didn't seem right from the beginning. It's been an ongoing thing but I've had many intense things happen in my life that I always thought it was stress but my head pain has gotten so bad that I had to try this. I had to just get an antibiotic because my ear was getting infected so we'll see after I run through this 🙏
Westin Price already knew this in the 30"".The best thing is to regrow real teeth with amelogenin and bioactive film or with stem cells teeth,with the actual technology the teeth regrow in 9 weeks.But,we can't have them thank you to the dental lobbies.
Westin Price in the 1800s knew about stem cell technology? What does that mean?
@@NINTHSKULL Westin Price in in the 30""no 800,but 900,knew that the root canal it is toxic and the toxins in the gutta,gamma,percha,(the material they put in the tooth),is not reachable by antibiotics,so the bacteria reach the hearth causing hearth attacks and breast tumors.
@@tonytagliaferri1254 Do you think that root canal technology has not changed in 200 years? Nowadays they use biocompatable and osteogenic sealers to plug all passageways within the tooth after complete disinfection. Guttapercha does not leak into the body from within the tooth because it is a solid, if you have evidence to show it does please share it I would like to read up. Why would antibiotics have anything to do with guttapercha toxins? Antibiotics kill bacteria, not rubber, and antibiotics are not even prescribed for root canals.
ARE implants dangerous? It is not a dead tooth right?
My friend told me about a book called The root canal cover up and it's written by The xx president of the American dentistry Association and is on Amazon. He used to be for root canals and now he's against them.
I would not have to tell him root because I have a metal allergy but I understand from what I've read that zirconia root implant is inert as it is not porous and doesn't have miles of tubes inside it can't get infected like a root canal dead tooth as far as I understand
You got saliva to protect you from infection.root canal tooth will only be infected if the infected nerve and pulp were not removed and disinfected properly other is when not sealed properly.
nope, but implants are super expensive
I hate it when I look up things too late. I already got my RCT done (will come back tomorrow) and now I’m regretting it and should’ve just had my tooth taken out siiiiiigh. I regret my life decisions :’’)
How are you now? Did you proceed with the rct?
Hi, yes I just proceeded with it. It’s been 3 months now since I got it done. I feel fine now, but I do worry about its effects later on. Recently, also read about how it affects the lymphatic system. Well, I’ll definitely get mine removed in the future when I save up some money again.
I worry too since I got on my first session already and will be coming back on next few days. :( I hope we will be long term
Yeahh, I hope there’ll be no serious issues for us. Good luck on yours!

I’ve had four root canals over 20 years. No issues. But the fifth one, a year in, doesn’t feel right, with lots of pressure discomfort. 😩
Get it out now, if something does not feel right off from your other root canals then something is wrong. I ignored my bad root canal, eventually the pressure went away because the bacteria bursts into your blood stream you might think everything is fine because the area no longer is uncomfortable but its flooding your body with poison.
Had a root canal done close to a decade ago. About a year ago I noticed an abcess forming on my gumline beneath the tooth i had the root canal on. It took me up until a couple weeks ago to get to dentist due to having trouble finding one that takes my insurance. They said yes, the root canal is infected. I have to make an appontment with endodontist so they can determine if they can perform another root canal to 'save' the tooth or if it needs to be extracted. I wish they would just extract the thing. Not all, but it seems most people i see online who have had root canals always end up with an issue with it afterward. Im worried about having to get the root canal redone, only to develop another infection down the road. So, just take care of your teeth best you can to avoid getting to the point of needing a root canal - cuz it seems majority of the time it causes nothing but problems.
Get it yanked out they will push you to retreat they are not your friends, its how they make money. Once a root canal failed it never work the 2nd time on a redo the bacteria is in the dead tooth along the outside of the dead root you cannot get rid of it only clean up the overspill. They use terms like 'save natural tooth' its dead there is nothing natural about leaving dead organic matter in your body it will leak bacteria, it will cause sickness, cancer huge consistent pressure on your immune system.
For molars just request a referral to an Endodontist. Dentists don't have the tools to do complex roots, yet some still try.
Yes. I wish I had known this. It's like getting your lawn mowing guy to trim your 10 foot high hedges, you may luck out but probably not.
I think most people -myself included get root canals Bc their dentist tells them they need a root canal. (No pain)
Right, correct. My doctor told me I needed a root canal in back to upper teeth. I said no thank you after they said I have to wait until December. Just pull the worse one please. Thank u
I know it feels awful but let me spare all of you people wondering if to get a root canal from having to think about what to do: Get the tooth pulled. Your body will be healthier for it. I was suckered into a root canal and got a bad systemic infection that was already affecting my heart. Luckily all the symptoms went away after pulling the tooth
do you recommend an implant in place of the tooth?
@@tamtamr9081 I wouldn't get one but that's up to you
If you don't get an Implant, it's possible for the adjacent tooth to shift towards the pulled tooth. Plus, there's the possibility of bone loss. I have had 2 Root Canals that were not necessary. One of them has been hurting right from the very beginning.
@@DipayanPyne94 I'm interested to know how NOT getting an implant will result in bone loss?
Before I give my answer, let me just say that TOO MANY dentists are SCAMMERS. I have been scammed by 3 of them. Yes. 3. After that, I got more scammers that I ignored. I have lost faith in them. That's why, I am visiting a dentist in a different state, tomorrow. I hope he clears all my doubts and problems. So, don't take decisions in a hurry.
Anyway, to answer your question, here is my answer. I do NOT know for sure. I need scientific literature on the subject. I have to get it from somewhere, soon. All I have come to know from some random websites is the following.
Jawbone, upper or lower, can deteriorate if teeth are lost. Why ? Because both Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts are responsible for keeping Bone Structure intact. Osteoblasts regenerate bone while Osteoclasts destroy bone. A balance between the two exists throughout a person's life. Osteoblasts are stimulated while chewing. If the tooth is lost, then Osteoblasts will not be stimulated. So, Osteoclasts will do the job and slowly, slowly, eat away the bone. This is called bone loss.
Now, I am not sure about this. Please go through some scientific literature. Where to find ? Maybe just from a good university ? I have to speak to my University to get the most reliable source on the subject. Try to do the same.
If my point about Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts is right, then I think bone loss is inevitable, scientifically speaking.
The Implant, being a replacement, will result in Osteoblast stimulation again. So, maybe that will prevent bone loss. Again, read about it.
I’d like to know what you can do when you need a root canal. I just had my first one. I was in terrible pain and now I’m pain free. So what’s an alternative? Also it cost me $3,500 so I’m not taking it out but would like another solution should I be facing this again in the future!!!
I have also done my rct treatment and now I'm completely pain free but I have done for only 30$ they charge u so many money 🤔
Implant. It might cost a bit more than3500 depending on where you live but it’s a better solution, I think.
Where is the evidence for these claims? Please provide peer reviewed literature before spreading misinformation. Ps, these guys love extracting perfectly fine root canal treated teeth and replacing them with very expensive metal screws. Implants can also have problems. Not sure how a titanium screw is more holistic than an RCTd tooth
Bro I've had root canals in basically all my molars at this point. As a kid I ate lots of sugar and soda and pretty much never brushed my teeth. As an adult I'm now super anal about taking care of my teeth, brush several times a day, always brush shortly after eating (but not immediately, cuz apparently that's bad), floss nearly every time I brush. I learned my lesson, but the damage was done, and adult-me has had to pay the price for kid-me's folly.
Literally. My cents insurance is bs, so we're talking like $1000 per root canal, another $1000 for each crown I needed, *another* $1000 to replace an old crown that came loose in my dinner and got swallowed...
Anyway, never had a problem with toxicity in any of my root canals. Not once. Honestly I've never even heard of that happening before now. Not saying it doesn't happen, just saying I've never heard of it. I had no idea this was a thing. But ya know what? I really don't care. I'm fine, my "dead teeth" are fine, and most importantly I can still *chew my food*
If I'd had every tooth that needed a root canal pulled instead, my ability to eat normal food would now be severely impaired. Ya know, since implants are even more expensive than root canals. There's no way I coulda done that. Just, no. Might have had to get *everything* pulled and got full dentures. In my 20s. And even then I wouldn't be able to comfortably eat certain things.
Yeah, I'll take the root canals, thanks.
Oh and you know what else? Kinda slightly off topic, but while I'm thinking about it, root canals are *not* painful if they do it right. Boring sometimes, you could be in that chair for like an hour, but not painful. In fact, the endodontic file actually feels pretty good imo. It reminds me of like scratching an itch. So satisfying
Yah, i've totally thought it was like scratching an itch. I never thought anyone else would think this. Lol.
I'm about to get my first soon. To be honest I think most of these stories might be bullshit...The mind creates symptoms you start to believe, and if you start to believe its related to your root canal you will start feeling shit. Read the comments in this video, apparently a root canal/tooth can give you anxiety and depression..I've had those most of my life without having any work done to my teeth already lol.

Bone tips remained in and now will have to be removed. Infection down to the bone that has to be removed. Pray they don't hit the nerve-they tell me. Nerve damage could leave me with no feeling on teeth, gums, lip - who knows.
Man, I'm pretty worried. Can’t afford a periodontist or tens of thousands of dollars for implants.
This stuff is nuts!!!
Was due to have a root canal this week. After watching this video and talking to my family doctor I cancelled the procedure and found a new dentist.
But if the cavity is very deep reaching the roots, what to do?
@@happylucky7964 You only have three choices, extraction, root canal or implant. My question is this, if root canals are so dangerous why are they still used?
@@TALKCalgary because money. it's the same as pharmaceutical companies making useless medicines. not all medicines are useless though
@@miajones2731however, if you need to replace the tooth, that’s a LOT more money, and my insurance wouldn’t cover. Losing a tooth has complications as well.
I went to the dentist for an infected tooth, the dentist recommended a root canal and went through my insurance for a referral to a root canal Dr. I started researching and now I would rather have the tooth extracted. I called my dentist and was told that the Doctor feels that the tooth is saveable with the root canal and won't give me an estimate for an extraction. Now I feel that I need to find a new dentist. SMH.
Was just told I need possibly 3 root canals, even though the pulp is not infected on 2 of them. Was told that when the teeth are cleaned out, the depth of the decay will likely be too close to the nerve and pulp to avoid a root canal. I don't get it. If the pulp isn't affected yet, why can't I just get a filling?
Please email me at info@bdcpdx.com and we can connect. If you have X-rays that you can send, that would be great! Thanks!
@@kellyblodgett7 Thank you so much, doc! I sent you an email. Offices are closed due to COVID-19, so I don't have the X-rays, unfortunately. Will be signing an ROI and getting them soon.
What was the answer? I have an absess in my gum above the tooth but the root isnt infected but told to have a root canal. I have a filling in that tooth from yrs ago that was supposed to prevent me from needing a root canal. This is frustrating. Curious what u found out
@@SparkingLife111 saame,, i also have an abscess above the tooth where the filling is done..😭😭😭😭😭
I feel like you answered your own question.
Had a failed root canal on a front tooth with abcess removed on an emergency basis two days ago. Am on antibiotic now. Could not reach my regular dentist, went to emergency dentist. Root canal just done 4 or 5 months ago. Working on finding a new dentist. I have lost faith in my current one.
Kevin who did the root canal on you? A regular dentist or a endodontic dentist
@@danlivni2097 my regular dentist. I just don't trust her work anymore.
@@kevini4295 I've posted about this before on here. I tell people, if you ever get a root canal go to a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope.
A microscope will show you if the canals split. A regular dentist does not use a microscope and if you do a root canal with a regular dentist it wont work if the canals split. An Xray or one of those magnifying glasses dentists use wont show if the canals split. If your canals split and you have a dentist do the root canal with out using a microscope, the Root canal will not be successful.
I can tell you, even my dentist admitted he wouldn't be able to do the root canal correctly if the canal's split. Dentists don't want to tell people this.
I only found out about this, cause this happened to a friend of mine, who got a root canal from a dentist who didn't use a microscope and the root canal failed.
He had to get another root canal from a endodontic dentist who uses a microscope. Then he had to get that same tooth re-crowned. So if you need a root canal, make sure you go to a endodontist.
@@danlivni2097 you are so right. I am finding this out the hard way. I lost my front tooth because of it. My dentist should have referred me to an endodontist and didn't. Now I will have to a bride to deal with the missing tooth.
@@kevini4295 Very few people know about this. I only found out about this, cause it happened to a friend of mine. Are you going to do anything about the missing tooth. Would you get an implant?

Ever since I had root canals it forced me to vote for Biden. Since I had them removed I am now a Trump supporter.

Right? 😂😅
Experience has led me to the conclusion that root canals are a huge culprit in periodontal disease. I'm 69. In my particular case, pockets deeper than 4 mm are rarely seen except where I have had past root canals.
I got my wisdom teeth extracted just now. I feel immense relief from the pain. Basically my dentist recommended its better to pull it out because the teeth was damaged and since it's wisdom teeth, it's hard to do the caps of RCT.
My recommendation is, keep the rest of your tooth from decaying. I will keep it damn sure cuz I ate a lot of pain
I have had an x-ray recently by my holistic dentist and she did not mention anything wrong with my teeth. I have many composite fillings and one tooth in the back i can tell is off and emits an odor even after brushing. I have no pain. Is it possible I have a dead tooth? What are safe root canal alternatives? Zirconium implant?
Same my breath smells funny all the time even after just brushing its embarrassing and it pisses me off
My husband's breath smells quite bad even a couple of hours after brushing. Brushing only helps for a little while but the bad breath comes with a vengeance.
@@anam.aria. coconut oil pulling and an antibiotic mouth rinse also power flosser have helped me so much
@@Michelle.RealEstate antibiotic mouth rinse? I have never heard of such a thing, thanks for suggesting it. He used to do oil pulling but a while ago, he hasn't done it lately, I will ask him to resume the habit. Thanks!
Rub 4 drops of lavender essential oil on the affected tooth. Or go a see a real dentist if you want an actual result
The dentist ruined my teeth I'm in so much pain and they said I was never there. I don't know what to do it's changed my life
Are you got root canal?
Good way to scare people into $3,000 implants 🙌
Your health should be priceless!!
So you advise NOT doing a root canal to begin with? It basically just leaves a dead tooth in your mouth? What percent of root canal teeth eventually get lost? Makes no sense to spend thousands of $ (root canal + crown) just to lose it in the end several years later.
My dentist says I need RC. But I am not in pain (just a bit of sensitivity). Makes no sense for me to ruin my tooth when it's not causing a problem. I will wait until it is a bigger problem and then decide what to do. Right now, I imagine the RC could cause more issues than I have now. How long can I wait before doing something? I have had this sensitivity for over a year now - from the moment my dentist placed filling material (below gum line). In all this time the sensitivity has not gotten worse, though it has not gone away either. If it is not getting worse, what's the harm of leaving it be? At least the tooth is still getting nourished.
Whatever u do I suggest u figure it out before it really start hurting BAD
I'm dying because of my teeth
Are you ok?
So my question is, is it safer for the rest of your body long-term to just pull the tooth out instead of getting a root canal? Just trying to avoid the part where you said the infected bacteria will end up in the blood stream!
Same question
I also have a question. Why can't they sterilize the area (tooth and gums) rather than pulling the tooth out and requiring an implant? It doesn't seem like this option is available, but why?
For example, do a root canal and filing, and laser treatment for the infected gum around the tooth. Replace the gum that was removed.
Ya just pull it
There could be complications with pulling a tooth
But most the time it's fine, be better then having a infected root canal tooth
One side effect that might happen with missing teeth is the other teeth my shift
I had 4 teeth pulled, 2 wisdom, I molar
It's been a few years since those 3 been pulled, n so far no problems that I noticed, they seemed to healed up fine the bone n gum in this missing tooth spot
Today I just got another one pulled
Never ever pull your tooth it's traumatized
I want to chew. And not be in pain. I’m in so much pain and it’s my fault/genetics that is to blame. I try to take care of my teeth to the best of my ability but they still deteriorate. I know my struggle and I try to budget for it. I believe that if u find a good and humble dentist we can get though this. Thanks for the video and humbleness ❤
Try to reduce carbs as well it helps tremendously
I hear oil pulling reduces the bacteria in the mouth and whiten ur teeth. Of course, make sure you get a proper cleaning first if u plan to start swishing coconut oil in ur mouth.
My gum at that specific tooth got abcess for about 1 and half year on and off. I went for root canal treatment as the dr confirmed my tooth was dead and infecting the gum.. And now in the process for zirconia crown. Its my 1st molar btw.
How are u now?
Did you go to a holistic dentist?
October 2022, had a sensitive tooth after having a filling done. I couldnt see a dentist for until January 2023 due to a pandemlc in town, so then i had an abscess. The dentist had me decide to have an extraction or a root canal, and I chose the latter.
Finally had the RCT last month. Thank god i had an endodontist do it I guess, but i still got a couple of issues...
First, the abscess is still there. It shrunk a little but its still concerning after reading the general info that its supposed to be gone within a few days when it's only been one month with little to no improvements.
Second, the past 5 days I've noticed the right side of my head had been aching a lil more than usual (before RCT, it'd only occur once a month at most). In the middle of a quiet night, i swear i could hear faint churning and feel throbbing in that same area.
Despite me telling them this today and asking if i should take some antibiotics, they said there's no need to, and suggest I give it some time. At least they're willing to do an x-ray in a couple of months i guess, but I'm thinking of asking if they should do the x-ray this week.

Thanks for the great video.
2yrs ago I went to see a dentist coz I a discomfort on my right lower 1st molar teeth and ask him to examine it. After looking at it, he said he can't find anything wrong and it just looks fine. Then he gets a tool and started to knock each of teeth one by one and asking, does this hurt? How about this one? Until he found one that I said it hurts a little and then he said, this one needs root canal. Long story short, after 2yrs it still hurts.Now I'm suffering from severe chronic pain. Before this teeth doesn't hurt when I drink cold water, only if I eat ice cream, but now every time I drink top water even in summer time it hurts.. guys I'm telling you, this kind of dentist are not dentist they are con artist.

Dentists seem to be divided on this matter. My dentist gave me the option of a root canal or extraction. My back upper left molar is infected, causing immense pain. The antibiotics have been working phenomenally (hardly any pain right now). I just want to know what option is best for me 😫 My dentist did seem more confident about extraction, though.
Antibiotics are also killing the good bacteria in your gut. As he said, a tooth that has had a root canal done to it is a "dead" body part and it will only be a matter of time until you will develope a chronic infection. Pain is your warning now to get that tooth extracted before the infection spreads elsewhere in your body.
Also you are risking bone loss which can affect neighboring teeth.
Thanks for explaining. My wisdom tooth is in severe cavity and is in pain. My dentist said it's less likely the root canal is successful since tooth. Should I get it extracted (removed)?
Tell that to my great grandfather, 99 years old, and some bad teeth of course. Is your diet and quality of life, not your root canals.
I didn't 'choose', I went in for a molar that I thought had cracked or split (I could wiggle half of it. Only had one week of pain after the event. Well, 5 months after the root canal I have excruciating pain. I can't eat, I'm on small bits of cheese, and anything I can swallow whole. Dentist says everything is fine. Years ago I had a root canal that disintegrated 5 years later and I said never again, but here we are. I wonder just how many suicides are caused by root canals?
Suicides ? Can’t the tooth just be pulled out ?
@@sweetcheeks5775 i think they're trying to say how deppresing dental problems and treatments can be. Especially when you don't have much money while your mental and physical health is draining day by day.
100%. I had THREE failed root canals. 2 ended up in severe pain, abscesses, infections right down to jaw (lower molars) and had to be surgically extracted. I then chose to get the last one removed and although symptomless there was a big abscess under it that hadn't shown on the cone beam xrays. Also i got an autoimmune disease 6 months after my first root canal. Absolute toxic poison. My dentists are criminals in my opinion
@@roisinmc7442 hi, i have one root canal that i got done like 12 years ago. i had bothersome pains in that tooth for like 2 or three years and then it completely stopped. then i have chronic fatigue and insomnia and i get too tense for the majority of the day. do the symptoms that i just mentioned happened to you too ?
@@susanwjoh0re735 yes I got unexplained fatigue, joint pain, anxiety, allergies I had never had to everything and the worst symptom was very severe dry eyes. All of these symptoms are much reduced now all the root canals are gone.
Hang on, but a tooth created with a root canal is filled up with a dental cermet so ever if bacteria get through the tooth layers they don't have anywhere to go, the whole tooth gets filled up and sealed?
I had pain for 1,5 week couldn't eat or drink felt the sensitivity # pain on my right side . But it stopped. .. dont have a cavity ...my teeth are sensitive... called my dentist...im scared
How are u now
Had my first root canal 38 years and 4 months ago. The crown fell off last week. My dentist "glued" it back in there and hopefully it will last. I've only had one root canal fail, and that was a quick fix as well. I don't fear root canals.
good, did you have an endodontist do them?
There are no scientific evidence that backs up the claim that root canal procedures are bad for your health. What CAN be a problem though, is poorly skilled dentists, that also doesn't take hygiene serious enough, and THAT can cause all kinds of complications, like different kinds of infection. If done properly, a root canal procedure is completely safe to do. Several decades, and millions of patients backs that up statistically.

i had mine done 10 years ago and i replace the crown with a zirconia one. i hope it lasts cause it looks really good lol.
I don't mind root canals. if it can fix where there is no more pain I'm happy with that and with no sensitivity from cold or hot I'm gamed and if the Dentist recommends to remove the tooth which I've had that happen then so be it. I rather feel much better than be in pain.

idk... my root canal has been low key hurting since day 1. 2 months already.
Before you make any decision on an irreversible procedure one needs to fully understand all the issues. You need a RCT ... then the only other option is extraction of the tooth. Now the expensive things become a part of the decision process with either an implant, removable partial denture, a bridge or live with the space.
Rct is still the best option, missing tooth can cause bone lost on the jaw and will lead to many problems as well. Again you got saliva that combat the bacteria inside your mouth, you shouldnt be bothered by the phorous of the enamel of the root canal treated tooth.

"your immune system has been doing the job of draining the infection" does this mean that with enough care the immune system could eventually destroy the infection completely or is that not possible?
It is not possible because the tooth has no more Nerve vessels and blood vessels connected to your system, so it could not detect the infection at all.
