: The short answer is no!  I also take blood thinners and as a dentist i would not be concerned in having a root canal treatment procedure.

ROOT CANAL: Dentist try to destroy the nerve supply of the tooth so that there will be no more pain and  you call that ' dead tooth".

Question 5

Pain: Regardless of thyroid function (hypo, hyper or euthyroidism), pain for any reason can cause someone to faint, most likely due to a vasovagal response whereby the heart beats too slowly while the blood pressure drops.

Question 6

what happens during root canal therapy?

Accepted Answer

A few steps: The dentist uses a handpiece to open up the top of the tooth to get to the pulp chamber.  They then remove the dead or infected pulp, clean out the canals and put a filling material in the canal.  This can take 1 or 2 appointments.

Question 7

what should i do if there was a breakage in the cleaning needle during root canal therapy procedure?

Accepted Answer

Go to a specialist: On occassion a file will break in the canal of the root, many times the file can be bypassed and as long as the roots get sealed to the apex (tip) the therapy will work out fine. A root canal specialist, an endodontist is the best at handling these situations.

Question 8

what does "widening" mean in root canal treatment?

Accepted Answer

Opens canal: The dentist widens the canal and cleans it, 
the widening allows a better fit for the root canal filling material.

Question 9

can there be an alternative to root canal treatment?

Accepted Answer

Extraction: Usually, the only other option to having rct is having the tooth exracted.

Question 10

what are holistic root canal treatment and conventional?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: The principals of root canal therapy are to clean and disinfect the canals and then fill the canal to seal them. Their are many techniques to accomplish both! after doing more than 20, 000 cases, i can tell you the term holistic means nothing. Some root sealing materials are thought to be safer, hence the term holistic. These materials are not around the bloodstream so i'm my opinion, not better!
