Root canals are the worst thing you can do. They can never remove all of the dead tissue, it’s 100% impossible. Your body will be fighting infection for your whole life.

There is a documentary that came out about it, pretty sure it’s on Netflix.

My three wisdom teeth were actually growing into my jawbone, each passing day that I didn't have the surgey I could feel my teeth moving more and more, I had them out, all four, three were impacted, it took me TWO weeks to heal. I was on like 5 vikodin a day and ate nothing but puree'd soup and vanilla pudding. I dropped 25 pounds in that two weeks alone, it was rough. Don't know much about the deep clean though, as I always brush and don't drink pop and eat candy and stuff. I also chew a lot of gum.

Why do retards with 0 medical understanding try and give advice on this stuff?

Yes root canals will not eliminate 100% of infected pulp tissue - mostly owing to accessory canals which can't be manually navigated, the inability of disinfectant solutions to remove all bacteria, and the fact that rarely even with a skilled clinician will the procedure be done to a perfect standard.

But still, if most of the infected pulp is removed, and then the canals and crown of the tooth properly sealed afterwards, root canals have great long term success rates. 80-90% depending on the study.

Definitely beats uh I dunno leaving an infected tooth untreated

There are instances where it is needed. But the practice of prophylactic removal of wisdom teeth in the US is a money making industry and nothing else. Most impacted wisdom teeth don't go on to cause any problems, and no they do not exert anywhere near enough force to cause crowding/orthodontic changes.

Ie if there isn't any active disease/pathology (untreatable decay or pulpitis, apical infection, cellulitis, osteomyelitis, severe pericoronitis, or they need to be removed for jaw surgery or radiotherapy) then there is no justification for removal, given that the surgery comes with its own risks

Wisdom teeth is the biggest modern day medical scam in the world. 90%+ of people do not need it as your teeth natural re-align and adjust as they grow in. You really think your body would naturally evolve to fuck up your mouth before you become an adult? Holy shit like use your brain dummy. It's pushed as being precautionary even though the common side effects of the surgery (ex. permanent nerve damage) are way worse than any potential long term effects of leaving them in. If you removed your wisdom teeth you just paid for a dentists ferrari and risked your well being for no reason. Also, have a look at the statistics of people that suffer permanent nerve damage after wisdom teeth removal. Very common to lose sensitivity in mouth or have permanent jaw pain.

[Anonymous No.13377497]

>>13377462
It’s not about success rate. You talking in doctor talk. It’s about an immune system issue. If you seal off an infection which is exactly what a root canal does, the body will attempt to fight this infection and waste energy that would be better spent actually fighting health issues.

Smart dentists know this, but won’t admit it because they get paid tons of money for root canals and it’s a very simple procedure for them.

Studies have shown 97% of cancer victims have had root canals, these studies could not be published because it would literally put a large portion of dentists out of business.

Once I got to the oral surgeon he even said I don't need to get one removed because it's fine but the 3 coming in sideways have got to go, and charged for each tooth so he lost $500 by not doing my one

No it doesn't you fucking retard. We know the clinical and radiographic signs/symptoms of an immune response to an infected tooth, following a successful root canal treatment all of these clear up as your body is no longer actively fighting the infection. Even if there are small amounts of bacteria left in, they are sealed in an environment where they can't thrive and aren't exposed to the surrounding tissues to cause a response

they actually found out that plaque is a semi protective layer and only needs to be removed when it causes pressure to build up. see while it can erode teeth it has to obey chemistry and cant get far. a super thin layer is as far as it can get. then it protects from further chemically induced erosion

its like a oxide layer protecting chrome / titanium from the elements. i would list other metals but not all of them do a great job at it. i mention titanium because anodizing titanium is done with electricity just to make a oxide layer and you can see it because it changes color

you seal off any small amounts of bacteria (note: this is not a synonym with infection) that may not have been killed by the disinfectant solutions. these bacteria cannot thrive or multiply and so cannot continue to cause infection and an immune response. hence why all signs and symptoms of an immune response clear up after a successful root canal

any remaining bacteria are inside the root canal, which is just an empty space that has been hollowed out during the canal preparation then sealed with an inert latex material. if it has been sealed properly (and this is where about 10-20% of them do fail) then the bacteria cannot thrive, multiple, or reach the periapical tissue (periodontal ligament, bone)

missed this question. a "deep clean" is just a buzzword really

the medical definition of that term would be root surface debridement, ie. for people who have active periodontitis and have lost supporting periodontal tissue and deep gum pockets (where the root surfaces of the teeth are now exposed), then you require a "deep" cleaning all the way into those pockets and of the exposed root surfaces which accumulate lots of tartar/debris/bacteria

in people without periodontitis, the term "deep cleaning" basically makes no sense. you just need a normal clean/scale and polish

>>13377775
you've got some wrong information there. root canal treatment is just one procedure - remove the infected/necrotic pulp tissue, disinfect the inside of the tooth, seal it up to prevent reinfection.

"Fix a dead tooth" - this is not a thing. If its a back tooth then you'll need a crown after the root canal treatment to protect it. But that's it. Nothing is required years later unless the root canal has failed (10-20% chance, similar to implants).

by all means get an implant if you would prefer, we give the patient the option and its more money for us too. but there is no medical necessity to get an implant over a root canal treatment at all.

>>13377796
Since you are a retard with no medical/scientific understanding (which is fine, as long as you don't try and give advice), let me reiterate for you that the presence of some bacteria =/= infection

Has it occured to you that the bacterial species that cause tooth infections (streptococcus, actinomyces etc) are commensal to the oral cavity? Ie they are part of the normal microbial flora and are present on many oral surfaces all the time in perfect health?

>The bacteria which were in the millions of tiny “tubules” in the dentin of the tooth (the portion between the enamel and the root canal) mutate into “anaerobic” bacteria. These are bacteria which do not require oxygen. Every root canal-filled tooth has them. No exceptions. They occur because of the structure of the root canal filling. It is impossible to eliminate them and they are 1,000 times more toxic than any other bacteria. In fact, the toxins they put out are in the form of a gas called “thio-ethers” which can easily migrate through the enamel of the tooth and down through the roots into the bloodstream. These toxins travel throughout the body, as do many of the bacteria themselves. These are responsible for most chronic degenerative conditions…not just cancer, but rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, lupus, ALS, diabetes….you name it.

This is why public dental care is SO much better. Japan has public dental care and MUCH lower rates of fillings and root canals. Funny how when it's no longer for profit they stop pushing so much extra work.

Also they do checkups every 12 months instead of 6 months. Hmmm...

you can still have pain after the pulp has completely necrosed/died - this is cause of inflammation of the periodontal ligament and bone surrounding the end of the tooth in response to infection

[Anonymous No.13378546]

You're right op. Just don't go. I havent been to the dentist since i moved out of my parents hourse. Thats almost 15 years ago.

Just brush them with proper toothpaste twice or more and you´ll be fine. You´ll never get holes. Wisdom teeth also just went through fine.

Regular checkup is a meme and dentists are only out to scam you. Friend of mine went the same route. GF persuaded him to get a ´checkup´ just to be sure. And the asshole dentists starts complaining about wisdom teet which allready went through. He trusted the asshole on his advice to have them removed (even though he had no complaints and fit perfectly). Shit infected and he needed antibiotics.

Root canals are unneccessary

Years ago, a cavity in my wisdom tooth enlarged to point where it caused me a lot of pain. Since it was dangerous to do dental procedures on teeth that are far back into the mouth (nerves can get messed up), I just endured the pain. Most of the pain came from food being stuck in the cavity and causing inflammation, so I meticulously cleaned that area after every meal. I let my wisdom tooth slowly break down. Now I'm pain free.

>Studies have shown 97% of cancer victims have had root canals
97% of cancer victims probably also had a medical X-ray at some point. 97% of cancer victims probably use shampoo in their hair every other day. 97% of cancer victims eat food with artificial chemicals at least once a week. Hell, I'll bet you 97% of cancer victims have petted a dog before. Petting a dog therefore must be a leading cause of cancer.

I agree to an extent. People who have root canals generally are in poor health and don’t take care of them selves. But your dental health directly relates to everything else.

I’m not getting a root canal, if I do get cancer I’m not getting chemo. It’s all scam shit to make you more sick, while at the same time depending on big pharma for continuous treatments.

My wisdom teeth were impacted and caused cysts in my gums to the point where pus would just shoot out whenever i pressed my fingers to my cheek. Once I decided to go to the orthodontist, he told me if I had waited any longer the infection could have killed me Why did my body fuck me up anon? I thought it evolved to not do that. I have immaculate dental hygiene to the point I am anal retentive about it.

I got supplemental insurance in order to get my wisdom teeth pulled. My benefit was roughly $1500 a year which was about how much I needed for the extraction. I go to the dentist and they try to sell me on some other bullshit for $1500. I later learn that they have to outsource to an oral surgeon once a month to do the extractions because the dentist on site isn't capable. Bottom line was my dentist knew he wouldn't get paid so he tried to convince me to get other work done making it so I'd have to wait another year to get my wisdom teeth pulled.

Dentist here and I agree. Most dentists out there are there to just make a buck off you. I work in a community clinic and treat mostly poor people with government insurance, no incentive to sell anybody any expensive dental work.

>Well in the USA it’s big business.
US dentist here. It really isn't. After insurance write-offs and the fact that most root canals are challenging and time consuming, it's worth about just as much as any other procedure on a money/hour basis, probably worse than most other procedures. I don't even do root canals any more because they aren't worth the hassle, I just refer them to specialists who charge a bit more money than a general dentist but are also highly trained as they do a few years after dental school learning just about root canals.
>>13377724
Implants are nice but the gum tissue around an implant is not like the gum tissue around a natural tooth. You generally lose a lot of the bone around the neighboring teeth during the surgery(ies) putting the implant in place which can lead to food trapping areas between the teeth. Implants are great but they should be a last resort. Like other dentist anon said, we're finding out that implants aren't as bulletproof as previously thought as we're seeing more 25-30 year old implants out in the wild start to fail for various reasons as people age. Bottom line: once you pull a tooth, you can't get it back.
>>13377741
The irony with your claims that dentists want to push root canals is that restoring implants is BY FAR my (and most other dentists) most profitable procedure. The real scammers in this scenario are these "holistic dentist" that are pulling fixable teeth to place expensive dental implants.
>>13377912
>A root canal is KEEPING A DEAD ORGAN ON CONNECTED TO YOUR BODY.
We're talking about a few specs of mummified pulp tissue that can't foster bacterial growth 98% of the time. Worst case scenario the root canal fails and it gets retreated or you pull the tooth if no other options. You're acting like there aren't millions of people walking around with active dental abscesses right at this moment which is about a billion times worse than a sealed off spec of pulp tissue that the body handles.

Why do people always assume the absolute worst about dentists? Ever thought that maybe he saw a few other teeth that had more pressing issues he thought should be taken care of first? I would agree with you if it was like cosmetic bullshit or something but if it was something else he might have been just trying to help prevent a bigger problem from happening.

I've had four teeth pulled due to absess, two were molars. The absess would come in pairs, it would be the same tooth position on my left side and right side.

This is due to my mother neglecting dental care before I was 18 and cavities got so bad that they turned abscess

I'm 22, with four missing teeth. How fucked am I /biz/bros? At least when I smile you can't really see them missing...

Does any dentist recommend Xylitol or is it really the worst thing that can happen to a dentist since it actually works?

Xylitol in short:
a sugar replacement, nearaly as sweet as sugar
made out of tree bark or corncob
great for diabetics since it doesn't affect insulin
caries bacteria die when they eat it - it is slightly different from sugar and they can't absorb and use it when they eat it -> they starve to dead no matter how they eat of that sugar
and so tooth decay goes down greatly
