Root canals ALWAYS leave a tiny bit of bacteria in the tooth. It is then trapped there, right next to or on the trigeminal nerve. This nerve runs all through out your head and becomes the pathway for that bit of infectious bacteria to travel to the rest of your body. Our teeth can heal through re-mineralization, oil pulling and ozone therapy. Also tooth decay a direct consequence of other health concerns that lead to systemic inflammation ( oxidative stress). Unfortunately I was born with no enamel in my teeth and have had severe dental issues my whole life. I tried root canals and got much worse before making the decision to pull those teeth. On the teeth that can’t be healed, pull it. Depending on the condition of your whole mouth, eventually implants through a biological dentist who does metal compatibility testing is the best option.

I’ll let my dad know too. He’s 92 and has 8 implants and there’s now a lot of gum recession. He’s thinking about having a laser treatment to help. He is starting to drool a bit. Otherwise in good shape!
