I have been reading up on Weston Price's research on root canals with interest, as I have just been told that I need to have a root canal done on one of my upper molars. Is there any alternative before I go down that route? It sounds like it is inevitable that infection will result, and if you are in good health then you shouldbe able to hold off the infection form other areas of the body but that sound less than ideal. What is more I am hoping ot get pregnant again, and a) would like to be in optimal health before doing so, and b) understand that pregnancy is one of the major stressors leading to infection in a root-canal filled tooth. Help! Anyone with any suggestions? Anyone know a holistic/biological dentist operating in the Heidelberg, Germany area?!
