Hi socasusie,
Auto immune diseases are rampant not only in the US but in many parts of the world. I blame the mercury fillings, root canal treatments, intake of processed foods and sugar as well as the chemical laden food known as genetically modified and the abundance of chemicals being used in our water, polluting the air, in most personal and household products. From the Glyphosate (round up herbicide) in the GMO foods, used on lawns, in gardens... to the chemical air fresheners in homes/cars.... skin care lotions, makeup, shampoos, toothpaste........ etc... etc....etc. Many people are unaware of the amount of toxins they are truly in contact with every single day of their lives. Most of which we do have some control over through diet and lifestyle changes.
The body is not designed to continually consume or be bombarded with these chemicals. It is no wonder that the odds of developing cancer and/or a serious illness is so high! My family has adapted to a whole new lifestyle of eating and living and the difference in all of us is remarkable!!!
Your statement about your dentist speaking out about the pitfalls of root canals yet he employs an endodontist on his staff..... even the nice guys are in it for the money (endodontics big bucks!!) and they are afraid not to offer endo treatment for fear of being ostracized by their peers and the conventional dental organizations. Hopefully one day this fear will be wiped away as the evidence emerges more and more through the internet to the general public.
Regarding your root canal question.... yes things are cumulative. But ALL root canaled teeth are inflamed and infected. One infected tooth can spread to other teeth, the sinuses, the bone, the brain and cause long term if not permanent negative health affects on a person. The root canals done years ago were just as toxic as they are today given the fact that the tooth never becomes healthy again. In fact they were maybe even more toxic due to the medicaments that were routinely used to "disinfect" the tooth during the procedure... namely formocresol! Often a cotton pellet was soaked in this toxin and left inside of the tooth!!!!! So anyone walking around with a root canaled tooth that was done 10+ years ago had formocresol used and I doubt any one of them had been previously informed of how toxic that area of their mouth would be
And the toxicity from formocresol is not confined to just that area....

You have taken on a difficult journey in removing your ill teeth..... but your body will thank you over and over again!!!

Well, don't forget my oral surgeon is in Mexico, and he owns the practice. The restoring dentist is his employee, and he also bought the lab and employs them (they do lab work for other dentists too). He's the one who decided they would redo the crown for free. Cost wise, it's not so horrific-he generally tries to throw things in, like bone grafts for me free of charge-but I pay in time instead. Culturally, am appt means nothing. I waited 4 hours for my surgery Monday, but he does a good job,so it's the trade off.
I think it's ironic I had to leave the country to find a dentist/surgeon that admitted that root canals are not the way to go. When he was talking about why the extraction was so horrible, and it was, and basically just said that root canals are a nightmare, on many levels. Funny, his practice does root canals-they employee an endodontist part time- so I think he still fears patients freaking at the "root canal is bad" conversation, and patients aren't open to hearing extraction is the better option. He cares about health-for example he said I don't need a deep cleaning because I don't have deep enough pockets, the bleeding was because of the lupus or the meds, not disease.
For me, it was a weight off when a dentist said root canals are on "borrowed time" because it started clicking-all my root canal teeth were falling apart, and they all kept getting abscesses. Why would "healed" teeth have such horrific infections? If the infection was cleaned out, why would the tooth have such a bad infection that it elevated the tooth to hit before any other tooth? That's a lot of inflammation!
Curious though, do you think some people can luck out and have a single root canal not destroy their health? Or do you tend to think its a ticking bomb, that at some point will go off? I sort of have a theory that root canals didn't do as much damage 50-75 years ago when we weren't surrounded by chemicals at every turn-meaning it was the only stressor on their body so it wasn't so traumatic. Now, our bodies are surrounded by physical and emotional stressors, so cumulatively we don't stand much of a chance.
