Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I have found that some dentists are quick to do root canals and some aren't. Some like to pull teeth and some don't. I found a holistic dentist who just filled my son's teeth that other dentists had wanted to pull or do root canals on. So the alternative I can suggest is find a different dentist. I have known people who have healed cavities with energy techniques or herbs; one of those might help. Was it in this group that someone talked about healing cavities with black walnut? Does anyone have more information about that? Linda - lapapu Thursday, February 19, 2004 7:38 PM root canal Hi, Does anyone know of any alternative to a root canal or the pulling of the tooth?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Take some salt on the index finger or a pinch of salt and put it on the infected tooth and the surrounding gums. After the saliva dissolves the salt, spit it out. Start with the salt available and if encouraging results are obtained(this depends on the severity of the condition-wether a pus pocket has already formed in the root?)then you can obtain sea salt . Avoid the free flow ones. Use it after each meal or so. Mix equal volomes of sea salt and sodium bi carbonate and apply all over the teeth and gums with finger rubbing gently over the gums and with a little more pressure over the teeth as a dentrifice on alternate nights after meals. This will be very good for health of the teeth and gums. Put two drops of chlorine in a glass of water and rinse your mouth with the same once a month. , " Andy T " <andyt652@h...> wrote: > But how the salt will be used, and for how long?

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Catherine, The alternative to root canal therapy is extraction. That's why prevention is so necessary. My son is 49 with no decay, no fillings, and he's got great gums. Some day prevention will be picked up even in dental schools. Bev, my nutritionist wife, has give courses in 11 dental schools. She's a CNC and has a degree in BioTechnology.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Re dental health, being a breast fed child for as long as possible (up to two years of age) seems to contribute to strong teeth later in life as well as good health in general. Breast feeding your child may be one of the greatest gifts you can give him or her.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Dr. Mittelman- Thank you for your answer. Can you share some of your insights into prevention on this list? I appreciate your comment that root canals are dangerous, but I find posts that give guidance on moving forward to health the most helpful on this list. I realize you offer a newsletter, but I don't want to receive more snail mail, and anything you can share online would be welcome.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Cavitations are infected areas in bone surrounding the roots of teeth. They usually come from infected matter in root canalled teeth. When a DDS does root canal therapy (RCT) s/he sterilizes and fills the vertical pulp canal - about an inch long - and leaves infected the approximate 3 miles of dentinal tubules that cannot yet be treated. The infection exudes from the root to the supporting jaw-bone. For a more complete description request our report " Can Root Canal Make You Sick? " , reply with your po box or street address. Infections from this source affects your entire immune system - your health both physical and mental.

The infection exudes from the root to the supporting jaw-bone. ____ ....assuming, that is, that the infection doesn't clear up by itself, when the patient changes his diet, and eats infection-fighting foods, that promote a strengthened immune system.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 A few months ago, I had a toothache. My dentist said the pain was a symptom of a dying nerve and that I needed a root canal or extraction. I ended up putting golden seal on the gum; the pain went away; so far I still have the tooth. I tried researching on the web. There seems to be very little about saving a tooth, perhaps because it is so easy to pull them! Mail is new and improved - Check it out!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 My son, aged 15, has a tooth slightly darker than the others and the dentist has said it was probably knocked a while ago (maybe years) and that he needs some sort of root treatment. The tooth is more sensitive than the others. Do you think this treatment would be useful for him? Thanks. _____ lapapu [lapapu] 27 August 2004 05:10 Re: Root Canal A few months ago, I had a toothache.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Thanks for the info. I've been using myrhh (in water as a rinse) the past week and someone suggested clove, so I've been using that the last few days as well (I have a small tube of " mouth freshener " that has clove, tea tree, and mint in it. I've been putting it on my fingertip and rubbing it directly on that spot on the gums rather than dropping on the tip of the tongue as the " freshener " directions suggest.) and I haven't had any swelling for about a day now. Yesterday there wasn't any and none so for today. The gum is still tender, so I intend to keep with what I'm doing and look for some goldenseal as well. Thanks again for the tip! Have a good day.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 I have used goldenseal and ecchinacea for similar dental problems before. A friend who had a tooth infected, and as a result had an extremely swollen jaw- and who could get a dental appointment only two weeks away-used ecchinacea and goldenseal, with salt, water, and peroxide rinses. After two days, the pocket of puss and blood burst, he spit it out, rinsed again, and by the next day did not need the dentist- and kept the tooth.
