A member asked:
Holistic dentist extracted my root canals & my health & symptoms improved dramatically. why are doctors & dentists so uneducated on this!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endodontic Treatment: Endodontic therapy isn't always 100% successful. Root canal therapy treats severely compromised, often infected teeth that would otherwise need extraction. Replacement with a tooth implant is not always successful either. The best way to avoid such issues is to take care of your teeth in the first place and have your teeth examined regularly and restored promptly. Prevention is your best option.
