WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?   A Root canal -treated (RCT) or root-filled tooth is one in which the dental nerve, commonly called the pulp, is intentionally removed and is filled with an inert material called gutter perch.   WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF ROOT CANALS? The pro of a Root canal is obvious: the painful or dead tooth is treated and extraction is avoided. But we must ask two key questions before starting a root canal. Can the tooth be restored? Can a predictable RCT be performed, or are there risks for a poor result? Research has found four major causes of root canal failure: Tooth or root fracture Infections including bacteria (primarily streptococcus vocalist, etc), viruses, and fungus (Candida, etc). The body’s reaction to root canal materials, microorganisms, and cements which inadvertently are pushed past the tooth into the bone.

Many patients have heard the term “ Mercury toxicity ” associated with fillings but still have many questions about it: what is it, am I affected by it, and what can be done to re-mediate it? The question of whether or not Mercury amalgam fillings contribute to mercury exposure is hotly debated.

One researcher, Andrew Cutler, has argued that “millions of people are being poisoned by mercury compounds the medical profession is exposing them to.” The comprehensive protocols established by The Center for Systemic...

Pediatric tooth decay is on the rise. Some research suggests that systemic causes—including radiation exposure, hormonal abnormalities, and foreign proteins in food—are to blame. Hypo generalization, caused mainly by a diet inadequate in minerals, increases a child’s susceptibility to decay.
