Lessons from Jon Barron
The Dangers of Root Canals

  

In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron takes on root canals and how they become dangerous.

Daily Health Tip Image"Unfortunately, the sins of the dentist don't stop with fluoride and mercury. Dentists also perform root canals. If a tooth's pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or damaged because of decay or injury, your options are often limited. Effectively, your dentist will offer you two choices: either have the tooth pulled or have the nerve removed (a root canal treatment). A root canal consists of removing the infected or diseased pulp from the tooth and sterilizing and refilling the canals with a sealer to prevent recontamination of the root system. The traditional sealer of choice has been gutta percha, although new options are becoming available that overcome the major problem associated with gutta percha—microscopic shrinkage as it dries, leaving empty space in the root which may fill with bacteria.

Nevertheless, the one problem that no sealer can overcome is that no filling can reach into the miles of tubules in the tooth. A tooth is not a solid, inanimate structure. Each tooth is a living structure sustained by some three miles of microscopic tubules running through the hard dentin material. In a healthy tooth, those tubules, which make up a full 90 percent of the actual tooth, can be thought of as the tooth's 'arteries and veins.'

Once a tooth has had its root filled in a root canal procedure, it no longer has any nourishment circulating through its tubules, but the tubules themselves remain, unfilled. And therein lies the problem: it is physically impossible to fully sterilize the miles of microscopic tubules in a tooth. Some bacteria (including strains of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, as well as spirochetes) survive and thrive in these empty tubules. And once sealed in your tooth, no part of your immune system can reach them and destroy them because you have stopped all blood supply to the tooth's interior. For the same reason, no antibiotics that you might take can reach the bacteria. Nevertheless, because the tooth itself is porous, those bacteria and/or their toxins can migrate out into surrounding tissue, where they can "hitchhike" to other locations in the body via the bloodstream. The new location may be any organ, gland, or tissue, and the new colony will be the next focus of infection in a body plagued by recurrent or chronic infections."
