root canal vs extraction

[Guest guest]

He told her that endodontists and being encouraged to go the implant technique and are being taught this in dental school. Is this the latest?>>

 

All I have read on implants suggest DANGER. Whether it's gold or plastic or whatever, if the gums are irritated by it, there will be constant pain. Even when the implant is then removed...CONSTANT pain for the rest of your life. Don't ever go with implants in the gums.

Got a call from my daughter-in-law last night age 34. She has been having a slight toothache and went to her general dentist. He found, in her words a molar (I am assuming it is a second molar) with a pus pocket. I have worked with oral surgeons and endodontists, but it has been about fifteen years now. He sent her to an oral surgeon who recommended that she have it extracted and have an implant put it. In his words he felt because of her age that would be the best route. I asked her what he said about root canal. and she said that he said it was up to her, but root canals only have a lifetime of 8 years. I have two -one is 30 years and one is about 25. Both are fine both have crowns. I suggested she see an endodontist-first and go that route. From what I remember root canals have an 80 percent chance of succeeding. He told her that endodontists and being encouraged to go the implant technique and are being taught this in dental school. Is this the latest?? I have always thought that saving the natural tooth was the best- try a root canal and see if it works, then talk about extraction. He did not give her any antibiotics for the infection. and she has set up an appointment for next Monday-which I think is a long time to have that infection going on.

 

Jerry, if you get this early today, or anyone in the know, will you get back to me so I can give her a call.

 

Thanks,

l totally agree. No one should allow a quack to put implants in their mouth. They will pay the price for it if they do. The body will reject foreign materials.JazziDJess wrote: He told her that endodontists and being encouraged to go the implant technique and are being taught this in dental school.

Judy,I am not a dentist but, I have worked with dentists who work on my patients. I have done testing for many people and advised them on what to do and not to do with their teeth. I have never had a complaint. Thank God. I have worked with a very well known dentist on the east coast and he has used some of my medicines and methods to help people. He said that I fixed a problem for one of his patients that he had never seen eliminated for anyone in over 30 years of working. I helped his patient eliminate a severe cavitation problem in the maxilla, and mandible. The problem was related to a dietary problem. I did not use vitamin / mineral supplements. I never use them in any form other than food. I would advise everyone to avoid implants and root canals. The first thing that I consider when dealing with a abscess ( pus pocket), is what condition the tooth is in. My concerns would be; are there any cracks in the tooth? Is there a filling? If so, what

kind? Whether the pus is a results of an inflammatory problem caused by filling material, food, the wrong tooth paste, fluoride ( poison ), etc. Also it could be that if there is a filling, there could be a poor bond between the filling material and the tooth and saliva is seeping down into the nerve canal carrying microbes along with it. I also test to see if the tooth is still living. A dead or retracted nerve means a dead tooth. I need as much information as possible to be most helpful. There are many possibilities to consider. I do kinesiology on my patients to find out what the cause of the problem is and how to deal with it.I would make an attempt to save the natural tooth. I have had great success in eliminating some severe periodontal infections using herbs packs in between the gums and the tooth. Some of the most effective are goldenseal, myrrh, and echinacea. The medicine is absorbed into the gums and inters the blood. The medicine is also swallowed

and enters the blood stream from the digestive tract. These herbs taste bad but, they are powerful medicine. I would not use oregano oil for this condition as it tends to burn. The herbs also have a powerful strengthening affect on the immune system. If I can help you further, just let me know.Jerry bobjudy wrote: Got a call from my daughter-in-law last night age 34.

Thank you all for getting back to me. My daughter-in-law has opted for the root canal. It was most likely a cracked filling from one that was originally done when she was eight. She goes for regular checkups and how a GOOD dentist overlooked a cracked filling is beyond me. Having worked in the dental field and the last being endodontics, I am of that mindset to proceed with the root canal. I worked for a wonderful doctor in St. Charles, Il., Thomas Allaway. Wish he were here in Atlanta to take care of her. Let's hope this helps her out. Judy
