THE DANGERS OF ROOT CANAL (& APICOECTOMY)(2)
system, may not be aware of any symptoms, but if they are subjected to flu, stress, accidents, overwork, or trauma of any kind they can become vulnerable. It is well known nowadays that sugar and white flour products affect the health of our teeth and gums. As Dr. Meinig points out we can be on a good diet today, but the health of our teeth may have been subjected to a poor diet as a child. However, a healthy diet can certainly help our bodies to deal with the infections of root-canalled teeth.
Dr.Meinig’s book is also supported by Edwin C. Van Valey, D.D.S., F.A.C.D., F.I.C.D., Past President, American Association of Endodontists, where he says: "My awareness of the Price endodontic research about the possible harmful effects of root canal goes back several years. Since the saving of teeth has been a strong belief all my life, it has been difficult to accept Dr. Weston Price’s research, but now I seriously wonder whether it was wise to treat all of those teeth. We all must keep open minds, however, and seek the truth." This presents the question. Should we have our teeth root-canalled or, for those of us who already have root-canalled teeth, should we have some or all of them extracted? Dr. Price recommended that in spite of 1,174 pages of data documenting the serious side effects of root canal treatment and the role that root filled teeth play in the creation of degenerative diseases, he stated "don’t jump to the conclusion that all root filled teeth should be extracted" and "I do believe there is a limit of safety for all such teeth for each and every patient." Also, our local dentist is of the opinion that if a root filling is done well the patient shouldn’t have any problems. It would seem to us that he does do a good job and is conscientious in his work. However, the fact remains that once a tooth is root canalled it is a dead tooth and we need to be careful about keeping our immune system functioning well to avoid possible infection, both to the tooth and the vital organs. It is also important to understand that it is very difficult to completely clean and fill all the fine dental tubules (see information in the paragraph under "Parts of the Tooth." below).
The decision of whether or not to have a root canalled tooth/teeth removed is an individual choice, but as I mentioned at the beginning of this article, I believe people need to be informed, so as to be able to make that choice, in
