Root Canal Treatment is a dental procedure to save a tooth when its root has become infected or inflamed, due to a large cavity etc. During the Root Canal Treatment, the infected tooth is logically killed, by the dentist . The pulp is removed and the tooth is disconnected from nerve and blood supply, to do the RCT. This implies that though the tooth physically remains in the mouth, but it is no longer a living tooth.
Any dead organ from human body should be removed soon, not retained for long.
Have you ever noticed bone of a dead animal? It is attacked by many germs, insects and other animals. The same happens with a dead tooth inside human mouth. It is attacked by several disease causing bacteria and micro-organisms but the immunity mechanism of human body is unable to reach this tooth & fight (as it is no longer a part of the living system). Hence, RCT tooth becomes a bed for growth of germs and infection, right inside the mouth.
Dr. Weston Price, did exhaustive research on this issue of RCT, and published the dangers of Root Canal Treatment. It was concluded that it is even better to extract a really bad tooth, rather than go for RCT, which may become a cause of other infections or diseases.
Why would dentists go for a RCT then? Dentistry currently, does not have any simple and fast solution to save teeth with deep cavities or infected roots and make the patient comfortable soon. Treating the infection of a root though ideal, may become tedius, slow and difficult process, in most cases. This approach will actually repair the damage and save life of the tooth, if given the patience and consistent effort for required time duration. Extraction is another option to help in case of a very bad tooth infection, but that's not an easily acceptable solution, for obvious reasons. Hence, Root Canal has become so popular as the solution, among dentists. It serves as an easy, short-cut procedure to kill any tooth which complains, provide an early relief to patient and receive good ROI.
Please be aware that most of the teeth which go for RCT, can be saved by following holistic / alternative healing solutions, right diet and healthy lifestyle habits. It will need some patience & bearing ability to give time for healing and practice few habits for protection of teeth regularly, with discipline. Yes, it is possible to cure a tooth of infection or decay, and revive it's health if one has faith in the healing capacity of body. The healing happens naturally, by the body without any chemicals or side effects, and may take a few months, in most cases.
Natural health care is essential as preventive to safeguard one from further damage to teeth or another scenario of suggested RCT, in future.
In-case one has an existing RCT tooth, it becomes important to take responsibility of cleansing the mouth of any harmful bacteria, which may happen to attack this dead tooth.
