Cure Tooth Decay: Heal And Prevent Cavities With Nutrition

by Ramiel Nagel

Root Canals George Meinig, DDS, was one of the founders of the American Association of Endodontists (root canal specialists). When he started in dentistry, everyone simply extracted decayed teeth. Dr. Meinig and other dentists had a great idea to save teeth rather than remove them if they were infected. Endodontists used to be on the fringe of dentistry and they worked hard to become mainstream specialists. Now, each year in the U.S. alone there are more than 30,000,000 root canals performed. That is a 30 billion dollar industry. Dr. Meinig, once a root canal advocate after a lifetime of performing root canals as a dentist, changed his position after he read 1174 pages of detailed research by Dr. Weston Price and his 60-man research team. Meinig discovered that, A high percentage of chronic degenerative disease can originate from root filled teeth. The most frequent were heart and circulatory diseases. The next most common diseases were those of the joints, arthritis and rheumatism.19 What Dr. Meinig urgently wanted to show people is that in many cases a root canal sets up the body for chronic and degenerative disease. If you have a significant degenerative condition, heart disease, severe headaches, arthritis and so forth, a root canal may be contributing to your condition or even to blame for it. The reason that root canals can be toxic is because each tooth contains about three miles of microscopic tubes. After a root canal procedure, the body’s natural dentinal fluid f...

What a Root Canal Procedure Accomplishes A root canal is the complete removal of the guts of your tooth. A large hole is drilled into the top of your tooth, and the inner pulp of the tooth is removed. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned with chemicals. Once the inside is clean, a synthetic material is placed within the tooth, which is now partially dead, and a crown is placed on top of the tooth. If this crown has stainless steel or another metal in it, then you can have the problem of dissimilar metals in the mouth. It is really understandable why nobody is happy about root canals. They do not usually make you feel well. With root canals, the dentist is manually accomplishing the cleansing of the interior of the tooth that your body has, due to imbalances, become incapable of doing for itself. Infections do not usually occur in healthy people; but if they do occur, the body quickly heals the infection. In unhealthy people, or people who are in moderate health but have a poor diet, infections cannot heal. Thus, a dentist is required to support their bodies in healing the infection. Infections also rarely occur in people who have a good bite, because correct bite places less stress upon teeth. The problem with root canals is that the reason for the infection is not addressed. The cause of the infection could be a poor diet and an infection can loom up from below the root of the tooth, perhaps at first unseen. The tooth may be traumatized or damaged by excessive biting p...

Safer Root Canals and Avoiding Root Canals at the Dental Office EndoCal 10, formerly known as Biocalex is a form of calcium oxide. Holistically oriented dentists have reported good results from using this material. The root of the tooth needs to be carefully sealed up from toxins before this material is used. As an alternative to a root canal, dentists can use the precision of a laser to vaporize infections in teeth without traumatizing the dental nerve.22 This treatment can also save teeth from needing root canals or crowns. So rather than ripping the entire nerve of your tooth out, the dentist helps it heal and leaves it in place. Tooth infections can also be relieved sometimes by homeopathic injections to stimulate healing in a specific area of the jaw. These are much better ideas than root canals. Does Your Tooth Need a Root Canal? A root canal is a heroic last resort treatment to spare removal of a tooth whose life has otherwise ended. A root canal is performed to clean up dangerous material and swelling that is not healing naturally. Without severe pain or inflammation, your tooth, while it may have a cavity, is still probably in relatively good health. So you do not want to remove the top of it and gut its insides unless there is no other option left. A majority of root canals are unnecessary. I do not recommend or encourage the treatment. However in a case where there is absolutely no other choice, you will need to decide with your dentist and health practitioner i...
