erinbard,
A second root canal does nothing more than the first root canal. The reason the tooth is infected is because of the microscopic canals called dentin tubules. Irrelevant of how many times a tooth is root canaled, those canals are not accessible. So the tooth will remain infected. Yes, dentists make a lot of money on root canal therapy. However, the only options they have to offer a patient when a tooth is badly decayed or infected is a root canal or extraction. It is not that they don't care about your health, it's that they (conventional dentists) don't really take it into consideration as they are mainly focused on the dentistry. I am re posting that diagram of the anatomy of a tooth showing the dentin tubules. Please take a look as it will help you to understand how a tooth could remain infected after root canal therapy. You are free to choose whatever option you feel is in your best interest. I am just offering you the information that your dentists are not offering you. You can google Dr Mercola and root canals or buy a great book that explains this topic very well called The Toxic Tooth by Dr Robert Kulacz (a dentist) and Dr Thomas Levy (a cardiologist).
