Root Canals and their Effect on the Immune System

Our guest, Dr. Michelle Jorgensen discusses the controversial topic of root canals, delving into their historical origins and potential health implications. She highlights the early purpose of root canals, which aimed to preserve teeth by cleaning out the nerve chamber and filling it. However, the challenge arises from the intricate channels within the tooth roots that are too small to clean effectively. Even with advancements, these areas often harbor dead tissue, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. Dr. Jorgensen emphasizes that bacteria from infected root canals can compromise the immune system, potentially contributing to chronic health issues. Using cone beam CT scans, she reveals hidden infections and bone destruction that may not cause pain but could impact overall health. Dr. Jorgensen concludes that, unlike other organs, people often overlook teeth as living entities, and removing a dead tooth may be crucial to maintaining overall health.
