Mar 22, 2018 at 12:28 comment added David Hammen Root canals (along with other significant oral surgeries) can cause systemic infections. A systemic infection is not a given.
Mar 22, 2018 at 10:56 comment added user17561 @SebastianRedl extraction + implant (or bridge); statistically, the success rates of implants and RCT are similar.
Mar 22, 2018 at 10:27 comment added Sebastian Redl So what is the alternative? Not treating toothaches at all? Because I can't imagine that being very beneficial to your health. Or pulling the teeth immediately? That also puts a lots of stress on the body, not to mention the decreased quality of life, unless you then make an implant, which is a much more invasive operation than the root canal. (Disclaimer: have not watched the video. Videos are too slow.)

Mar 21, 2018 at 23:22 comment added user17561 @Giter it looks like his violations stemmed from his belief that root canals were bad.
Mar 21, 2018 at 19:01 comment added Giter Not a full answer, but the referenced dentist has a poor record and apparently stopped practicing dentistry before the book was published. Definitely not someone anybody should get medical advice from.
