Re: Question for those that believe that root canals are bad.

What are you talking about? Teeth are living and are only considered dead if the living tissue or pulp dies or is otherwise removed. I have another question that I'm interested in seeing your answer to. If a root canal is done and a proper coronal seal is achieved with a proper restoration, how is it that the remaining bacteria that can't be removed proliferate? Certainly these organisms are anaerobic and don't need oxygen to survive, but without a food source at their disposal, how can they survive? Tweet
