unfortunately that is not what really happens. all root canals contain bacteria and they all will make you ill. i am sorry you have eight of them. i hope you get them out before you get ill. have you ever clicked on a link in these forums about root canals? the owner puts those links in himself. i notice the link goes to a site that says how bad root canals are for your health. you post on a site which is opposed to root canals, yet say that everyone is blowing everything out of proportion. maybe there are sites out there that are pro-root canal sites where it would be accepted that root canals are wonderful and safe. i have not seen one yet, but this site is definitely anti-root canal.
