Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hi Bee, My root canal was removed in July. The tooth in question is a molar bottom left 2nd from the back. It has an all porcelain crown on it. Initially it had a porcelain crown with gold under it that was put in in May. I had problems the minute it was put in. Several days later the headaches started. In October I had it replaced with the all porcelain crown and the headaches went away except for when I first got up in the morning. I would have a mild headache and then it would go away. About 2 weeks ago the headaches returned - mild but all day. Around the same time (I think) I also started having a very mild toothache in that same tooth on and off throughout the day and slight sensitivity to hot and cold (which had gone away in October). I saw my dentist on Thursday. He took an x-ray and said the tooth looks ok but it was a little high. He took it down and it helped a little but I still have pain on and off and of course the headache. I don't know what to do. I hate having a tooth pulled that doesn't show anything wrong on the x-ray but the headache could very well be related to the tooth. What would you do in my situation? a >a, >If you have any root canals or implants it would be good to get them >removed because they can cause pain and problems in the jaw bone. >Dr. Weston A.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Bee, Only one person you know of died from a root canal? How many millions have had them and lived? I had one several years ago and have had no problems with it. If you go to a good endodontist, you should be ok.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hi Beth, There are other incidents mentioned. One I remember is a woman with arthritis. Her root canal was removed, they cultured the bacteria, injected them into a rabbit. The rabbit got arthritis and eventually died. The woman finally found relief from her arthritis. There are many cases like this. This is some interesting reading about root canals http://curezone.com/dental/root_canal.asp a >Bee, >Only one person you know of died from a root canal?

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Being a dentist and world renown researcher, it's too bad that Dr. Weston A. Price couldn't save his own son. Sorry for your loss, Bee. Beth [ ] Re: tooth problems > > Bee, > > Only one person you know of died from a root canal? How many millions have had them and lived?

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hulda , author of The Cure For All Diseases, also recommends that anyone with a root canal should have it removed. I was pressured twice to have the procedure but I had the teeth pulled instead. > > Bee, > > Only one person you know of died from a root canal? How many millions have had them and lived?
