Root canals

[Ginny Wilken]

Ok, I’m reading all the horror stories about root canals. I have one that dates from before “the age of reason”, some 20-25 years ago. It has never given issue, but lately it has started aching, and is temperature and pressure-sensitive. I have excellent dental hygiene and diet and do not suspect any issues related to that aspect. However, I am troubled by chronic fatigue and pain, and over many years homeopathy has not yet resolved my condition. I am in all other respects very healthy, with excellent blood chemistry.

The literature indicates there may be a link through chronic infection. One way or another, do any of you have first-hand or anecdotal experience with root canals? I’d appreciate your input, and will also be speaking to a dentist and to my homeopath.

Thanks,

On a completely different note Ginny - I have been trying to reach Dr. Feinman for days both with e-mail and phone calls about my dog's stomach problems. I began with him because you suggested him. I am very frustrated with not hearing back from him. Is there a way to reach him that I don't know about ?
Thanks,
Julie

No, Julie, there’s really nothing better. Write me privately, and perhaps I can advise something that will help a bit in the meantime. What’s going on?

Do you mean you need a root canal?
I thought once you have one, the nerve is removed and the tooth is dead so you shouldn't feel any pain ??
I need two crowns and the teeth "need" root canals which I don't want to do but at a dental school, they go by the book and won't do crowns unless I do root canals so I'm living with temporary fillings.
Since I haven't had pain, and for the possible chronic issues you mention, I don't want to do them.

Whenever I have a patient who has suffered from a stroke, I always ask if they have had a root canal. If they have had one then I strongly advise having it removed. I will treat for the stroke but the root canal is so dangerous, that issue must be addressed.

Also, interesting is stroke patients who had the root canal removed and they regain their health without a rx.

The issue is that a small amount of infection may (does?) remain behind, even after the nerve is gone, and this can cause pain in the remaining tissue, and can leak infection into the system.

I am not able to easily research at the moment but I know when I discussed the concerns of root canal with my dentist a year or so back, he said all the horror research that people talk about came from very early techniques and materials which harbored and encouraged infection and that with better knowledge, practice and materials, this no longer happened.

Can anyone comment on this?

Thanks, Fran.

Well, I’d certainly wonder if 25 years ago counts:) It is significant that there is some reactivity in the area, and two other symptoms: I have been bothered increasingly by an intermittent trigeminal nerve twitch on the same side, and also a cyst on the cheek under the skin which fills alarmingly now and then.
