Re: Decisions on root canal treatment
just following up on what #46077 said "which basically informs us that there are no sterile
root canal proceedures available yet as no substance can penetrate the tubules in the dentine where anaerobic bacteria continue to flourish despite the best root filling possible",
Weston Price discovered over 80 years ago that if all the dentin (tubules) of one tooth were layed end to end, it constitutes about 3 miles worth of teeny tiny circulation system; this is 3 miles per tooth! This really highlights the improbability, and basically debunks the tired, worn out sentiment by establishment dentists that "
root canals seal off the tooth and make it impossible for bacteria to have a place to survive and grow". The only thing root-canal procedure renders impossible is - knowing just what the heck is going on under the cover of darkness inside a capped/root-canaled tooth. Too bad that the way root-canals are performed, they leave the tooth in a position such that with current technology, the only way to know what's going on is to remove the blasted thing, tooth and all.
