  • @lokks707 what did you end up doing ?

  • another youtube video advocated extraction and use of a bridge. however, any trauma to a healthy tooth (including a bridge preparation) can initiate trauma to the nerve, causing this tooth to die. would you also advocate an extraction for this second tooth? why not root canal the first tooth and have 2 functioning teeth rather than run the risk of having to extract 2 teeth? i feel taking into account all aspects including function, aesthetic, speech etc: nothing can replace natural teeth

  • Dr. Rota is the most skilled and gentle dentist I have ever had. A+!

  • i had an old refilling replaced and ever since that day i have been having discomforth from that tooth.when i bite down i have the sensation of biting down on foil paper. now the doctor recommend a root canal and i don't know what to do?

  • There are MILLIONS of root canals done, and very few people have complications. When they do a root canal, they inject a liquid into your canals which kill any bacteria, including in adjacent canals.

  • I have a tootache right now and I'm researching root canals (because I know dentists are going to want to do that). I don't like the idea of having foreign material inside of any part of my body.

  • great explaination....

  • I'm not going to get my root canal done. This and Dr. Mercola convinces me. Just google root canal controversies, problems, complications and disease.

  • Hal Huggins says that most of the bacteria and their toxic byproducts are in the ligaments and even after extraction of a root canal tooth these toxins can spread to other organs. Are cavitations something to be concerned about or is it too early to know.

  • One more thing about this...

    Litterally "To sink your teeth into" the beef, and build up hydraulic pressure within the tubules in the dentin, and possibly also taste with the pulp.

    I'm saying that maybe the pulp isn't just a pressure sensor, but also a tastebud and more, like you said indirectly, it is an energy channeler.. A midway station before signal reaces the beain i think? Anyway, as i say, it may be an energy terminator, like an endpoint for tying together the bodys meridians. Who knws
