The Surprising Truth About Root Canals | Heal Thy Self #313

In a recent discussion with Dr. Sonia Chopra, a board-certified endodontist, we explored the intricacies of root canals, shedding light on their safety, efficacy, and common misconceptions. Dr. Chopra emphasizes that when performed by qualified professionals, root canals can effectively save teeth and prevent further dental issues. She highlights the stark contrast between well-executed and poorly done procedures, noting the complications that can arise from inadequate care. Advances in modern technology, such as 3D imaging and sound wave disinfection techniques, significantly enhance the success rates of root canals, which boast an impressive success rate of 95-97%. Dr. Chopra underscores the importance of patient advocacy, encouraging individuals to be proactive in their dental care, seek second opinions, and fully understand their treatment options. Through compelling anecdotes, including a case involving a 16-year-old girl whose root canal preserved her jaw and smile, she illustrates the potential positive outcomes of quality care, while also revealing that 50% of her practice involves addressing poorly executed root canals, underscoring the necessity for vigilance in dental treatment.#rootcanals #dentist #teeth Dr. Sonia Chopra Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsoniachopra/Website: www.drsoniachopra.comBecome your own advocate: https://drsoniachopra.com/endodontic-patient-course/Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction: Root canals can be done safely1:49 - Dr. Chopra's background and importance of oral health3:36 - The controversy around root canals5:41 - Issues with dental education on root canals8:28 - What makes a bad vs. good root canal12:46 - What happens when canals are missed during a root canal15:36 - How long infections can persist after a bad root canal18:14 - Finding a qualified endodontist for root canals21:48 - Why extracting teeth isn't always better than root canals25:41 - Addressing concerns about "dead teeth" after root canals28:41 - Explaining cavitations in the jaw31:54 - Differences between periodontal and endodontic disease35:18 - Best practices for oral hygiene and preventing root canals41:14 - Electric vs. manual toothbrushes43:11 - Water flossing vs. regular flossing44:10 - Importance of regular dental visits and consistent care49:55 - How eating habits affect oral health52:02 - Final thoughts on dental care ===Thank You To Our Sponsors!

The Top 3 Best Tampon Brands (Product Review) | #312

In this video, Dr.G explores a recent study revealing toxic heavy metals in tampons, including those marketed as organic, and reviews various brands to help you make informed choices for your health. All tested tampons contained heavy metals, raising serious concerns. Focused on brands using organic cotton, avoiding harmful chemicals, and lacking bleaching agents. Notably, Organyc, Cora, and Viv emerged as top choices, being certified and tested for heavy metals. However, some brands, like Nature Care, claim no detectable heavy metals but lack publicly available testing data, and others to approach with caution include RAEL, Honeypot, OB, Playtex, and Toms of Maine, with some brands like August, Daye, and Garnuu missing in action. To minimize exposure to heavy metals, opt for the top-rated brands and seek out those with transparent testing results and certifications.
