Holistic dentists offer alternatives
to root canals and metal implants
Have you ever gone for a routine dental exam
and suddenly been informed that you need a
dreaded root canal on a tooth that is slightly sensitive
to cold and sweets? This tooth is still vital,
so why should you need to kill the tooth? Why
would a tooth suddenly die that was normal 6
months ago? Root canals are very expensive and
often painful. Did the dentist miss something?
Maybe the filling or crown that was just placed
still hurts? It is common for dentists to suggest
a root canal to remove the pain, but is that the
only answer?
In my over 40 years of practice, I’ve noticed that
dentists are getting more aggressive in their
treatment planning. Rather than try to save teeth
and keep them alive, they immediately recommend
a root canal and crown. An informed consumer
should demand that the dentist carefully
clean out the decay and place IRM to calm the
nerve. The poor fitting crown with an open margin
should be replaced. Conservative, minimally
invasive dentistry is the best option.
If you had a root canal in the past, you should
get a 3-dimensional CBCT scan to determine if
that tooth is still infected. Abscessed teeth don’t
always hurt because the tooth is dead, but it may
harbour a chronic infection at the end of the root
that is missed on a regular 2-d x-ray. Infected
teeth have been linked to other systemic illness
and can weaken your immune system. Dead
teeth spread bacteria throughout the jawbone.
Retreating an infected tooth does not sterilize the
condition. An extraction with ozone and proper
debridement of the socket by a holistic surgeon is
needed and your own PRF stem cells can be used
to graft the socket. Don’t use pig or cow bone.
Replacement of the missing tooth can be
done without metal implants, which have
been known to corrode and release particles.
Ask your dentist for a Zirconia implant or
a non-invasive, low-cost Valplast BPA-free
partial. These replacement bridges do not
require cutting other teeth and are simple
cosmetic solutions.
