Root Canal Controversies

Root canals are seen as a controversial treatment in dentistry, primarily because they involve leaving a dead body part in the mouth. While conventional dentists view root canals as a standard solution to alleviate pain, biological dentists emphasize that this procedure can lead to chronic issues by effectively creating a breeding ground for bacteria due to the millions of tiny tubules in the tooth. These tubules can harbor anaerobic bacteria that escape the immune system, causing chronic inflammation that may contribute to other health problems. Thus, while a root canal may provide immediate relief, it poses potential long-term risks that could lead to chronic illness if not addressed adequately.
