Modern Day Root Canals: Saving Teeth Will Save Healthcare | Sonia Chopra, DDS | TEDxFarmingdale 

Root canal is Toxic watch root cause movie and read the Toxic tooth book. I have a root canal saving money to extract it at biological dentist and use a denture instead of it f

Did you crown the teeth after the root canal? Who performed the root canal? Specialist or general dentist?

It depends the case not bc you have root canal treatment you need a crown sometimes a restoration get the job done if there's enough healthy tissue to work with. But I get what u trying to say n is totally true.

As well as cracked…

You can’t entirely prevent cracks in teeth Large fillings will all eventually cause teeth to crack. Only way to avoid fillings is to avoid decay. Cracks aren’t the only reason (by far) that teeth become infected. Decay is a bigger cause. Decay is mostly asymptomatic in most people, which is why we need to do so many root canals. So, if you’re dentist says you have a filling to do…..do it! If you get a second opinion about fillings, there is a 99% chance that dentist will tell you you don’t need the work to be done….it’s an ego thing, and a sure fire way to get a new patient in your practice, while making the other guy look aggressive….but it’s the more ‘aggressive’ diagnosis that is almost always more accurate. Undiagnosed decay in America is a far larger problem the. Overdiagnosed decay. Lastly…..don’t do dental tourism. It’s a disaster most of the time, and sometimes life threatening

As well, affordable access to dentistry is desperately needed in the USA. That's a part of preventative care.

@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 and the way to do this is to remove third party, profit motivated insurance companies from being managers of employee benefits. We need to get insurance companies out of our health care entirely, but will never accomplish this until we demand limitations on campaign funding and donations…..

A bad root canal

@@johniekendrix9861 How about contacting the TEDx speaker. She is an endodontist. Probably can refer you to someone?

The inflammation of the pulp from a cavity or crack in a particular tooth, comes from our immune system responding to microbes in that cavity, of that tooth, not from some other imbalance elsewhere. Sugar by itself doesn’t cause decay in our teeth unless it is metabolized by certain microbes that produce acid to demineralize the tooth structure (just talking about teeth here, not systemic effects). The decay (and microbes causing it) needs to be removed and if the pulp is inflamed beyond its ability to heal, a root canal is needed if the tooth is salvageable or the tooth requires extraction. The inflammation generated there does have an additive effect overall with other inflammation caused by other inflammatory stimuli elsewhere in our body and that is detrimental to our health. That is an important reason why one should address oral health issues that cause inflammation. Holistic dentistry is a mixed bag that has some perspectives I am open minded about, but with regard to endodontic subject matter, has a tendency to ignore current, legitimate, peer reviewed data in favor of antiquated, poorly controlled studies from early last century that would be considered now to be remarkably unsuitable for developing protocols found within a reasonable standard of practice. Sorry to nerd out on you about teeth, but as you may have guessed by my handle its hard not to. Cheers

@teetje Brushing with fluoride-containing toothpaste 2x/day and flossing daily is also very effective in preventing problems in the mouth!

Too much sugar

What a bargain! I paid $1200 for mine a week ago

Prices vary by teeth. The more roots and nerves the more it costs. Still a lot cheaper than extractions with implants. I have gotten two over the years and will be getting a third this time from a endodontist since it is a back molar which regular dentists wont do. Them. I will need deep cleanings after as she says to regenerate the gums to return closer to the tooth.

How long where you in pain afterwards?

@@dianehunt9320 how long was you in pain afterwards?

What about the crown?

Also the tooth is pain free and useful for chewing as well as saving jaw bone from deteriorating.

That is incorrect, Pete. There is a ligament the tooth lives in, its called the periodontal ligament. After a root canal is completed, that ligament is still intact and the tooth stays attached to your jawbone. You have pressure sensory perception of that tooth because of that living ligament and even in the case that this endodontist shared, the infected jawbone and ligament regenerated after the root canal eliminated the dead pulp from inside of the tooth. It is a valuable procedure and it takes arduous study and training to do them successfully for people. Endodontists perform root canals with the same type of microscope that ophthalmologists and neurosurgeons use, do you complain about those medical specialists charging a fee when you see them for care?

She's obviously a monster: She helps people resolve toothaches and save their teeth. Almost as bad - she does this to earn a living. Horror of horrors!

I got a root canal at 16, now I’m almost 28 and still have my crown/root canal in good shape. I’m glad I got it done, I still feel pressure when I chew and got braces and even feel mild pain when I get the wire tightened. I’m glad I got a root canal instead of an implant cuz otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get braces, my root canal can still move since there’s bone and ligament. I also got lucky the endodontist that did mine was really good, and that is just pure luck for me.

Jaw bone can regenerate. That's what she meant. What's all wrong with a root canal if it's needed and done effectively? Preferably avoid the need for a root canal.
