In 2019 I am finding more and more documentaries, articles etc with a high correlation of root canals to cancer. There is no way to completely remove all the bacteria. It’s now in the bloodstream and lymph system. 97% of BC patients have had a root canal on Dx side. This is so scary.

There is a Netflix documentary called Root Cause. Very disturbing. I’m not sure if I totally agree. I had root canal on right side as a young adult, cancer was on left side. I do believe there could be many illnesses related to the inflammation etc... but you can’t just extract all your teeth. Mine is in the front. And it’s expensive. To replace, you have to find a holistic dentist. The implants have titanium dioxide, they say avoid that too. Very complicated...

Interesting. I have had root canals on nearly all of my molars over the last 15 years. I wonder if there is a correlation to a specific type of cancer.

@A MyBCTeam Member yes it can be completely normal to cry at anything but it can be a sign of depression if it continues. A cancer diagnosis is tough to get your head around crying is warranted. See Dr if worried.
