When a dentist cleans, sterilizes, and fills a root canal, he leaves about 3 miles of dentinal tubules - full of infection - that will continue to release toxins, viruses, etc. into the blood stream for the rest of your life. I wrote the Forward to Dr. Meinig's book, The Root Canal Cover-Up Exposed. We both feel that it's like playing Russian Roulette to leave a root canalled tooth in the mouth. However, we both feel that root canal is some times actually indicated. I have a short report, " Can Root Canal Make You Sick? " Send me a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope, and we'll get it to you. My address: 263 West End Ave.#2A, NYC, NY 10023.
