One of the first things I want to know from any of my new clients (either in my office or on the phone) is the condition of their teeth.
The information contained in this article is the main reason.
Unresolved dental infections and amalgam fillings (leaking mercury) can cause chronic conditions and most doctors do not make the connection.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Root canal treated teeth may harbor harmful microbes, the toxic metabolic waste products of which can have systemic health impacts and contribute to a variety of chronic diseases
- The Netflix documentary “Root Cause” interviews doctors and dentists who believe many health problems can be traced back to these hidden dental infections
- The key problem when you have a root canal performed is that the tooth has died but remains in the body. It’s well-known you cannot leave a dead organ in your body or it will cause severe infection
- Even if the root of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned out, it’s physically impossible to get all the pathogens out of the microtubules, and the waste material from these bacteria is extremely toxic
- Infection caused by a root canal has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and cancer, but may play a role in many other conditions as well, including chronic fatigue and chronic pain
