Re: root canal questions

I'm not clear on what you're asking in your first paragraph.

root canals can cause problems when a focal tip of the root becomes proximally infected. Since a root canal removes the root and substitues non-living material, there is little blood flow to the root canal. The focal infection tends to persist, grow, and stay at the tip. However, the problem of a root infection stems from the toxins and bacteria breaking away into the blood stream and affecting other areas. The blood vessels directly affected by the oncoming infectious matter may take the toxins to any area of the body from the meridians of the teeth.

A good starting point is here: http://www.oasisadvancedwellness.com/tools/tooth-chart.html#


Notice that you can click on your trouble teeth and locate associated meridian organs that are potentially affected. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the charts as I believe that toxins do not have a specific affinity for a specific meridian exclusively.

Not all teeth have obvious x-ray root canal evidence of focal infection, but I've read claims that there does not have to be ovious evidence based on patient symptoms. Some have reported strange meridian related symptoms disappear after root canal removal and cleaning. Weird when there was no evidence on x-rays.
