"Can Root Canals Make You Sick?" By Holistic Dentist Dr. Gary Adams

Can Root Canals Make you Sick? Cancer, Lupus, Hoshimotos, Thyroid dysfunction? Root canal teeth may leak bacteria into jawbone and other parts of the body. The truth of the matter is that roots of teeth are relatively porous and bacteria do leak out of dead root canal teeth all the time. Roots of teeth cannot be completely cleaned and bacteria, fungus and their toxins persist and increase in numbers over time. When pathogens and toxins have a safe bed to multiply and concentrate over time, bad things can happen. Concentrated toxins and higher levels of pathogens can create and promote disease in a susceptible person. The bacteria and toxins leaking out of root canals is free to infect the jawbone and enter the blood supply. Most of the time the bacteria will be intercepted by the immune system and destroyed. Root canal teeth have foreign material in the roots called gutta percha. Gutta percha is latex based and can contain metals, phenols and formocreasol. Needless to say, particles of these chemicals can leak out the roots and become immunological systemic irritants. If an allergist or another doctor believes a root canal may be contributing to systemic illnesses such as Cancer, Lupus, Hoshimotos, Thyroid dysfunction. Cleaners such as bleach are used to clean the roots of the teeth during root canal treatment. No question some of the bleach can leak out of the tooth and into your jawbone. When getting a root canal re-treatment a dangerous chemical called chloroform is placed into the tooth to dissolve old contaminated gutta percha.
