Hi ginnie,
The articles from Dr Mercola are so right on! There is no doubt that root canaled tooth is irritating your immune system. It is also a reservoir of bacteria in your jaw bone. You are being so diligent with your dental health now and it seems a bit defeating to hang on to this unhealthy tooth. What do you think about that?
We can always do things to improve our health and lessen the burden on our immune system. Will removing this tooth cure any of your auto immune conditions? At this point, probably not. But it will improve your oral health and it will be one less irritant to your immune system without question and both of those things are certainly beneficial.
Ginnie, which tooth is it?

If this could improve my health, it would be worth loosing this tooth too. Think I should? I don't think my current dentist would object either. Never would have had it done had I been told the truth. ginnie  |
