from 2020-12-03T09:00
Did you know that a root canal could be a possible root cause for other health issues?
My guest today is Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett, a recognized leader in holistic and integrative biological dentistry, a published researcher, author, and top clinician.
His educational background in psychology, traditional dentistry, naturopathic medical dentistry and integrative biological dental medicine provides him with a unique perspective as a healthcare provider.
He understands and respects the interconnectedness of oral health, systemic health and the feelings and emotions which accompany most people’s dental experience.
Dr. Blodgett’s professional vision is to reverse the negative stereotype associated with dentistry by sharing loving care in an environment free from judgement.
Join us as we talk about whether root canals are linked to eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions.
Has your root canal been linked to your skin condition? Tell me about it in the comments!
In this episode:
- Why do people get root canals?
- What can go wrong after a root canal?
- How could an infected tooth impact other tissue in the mouth?
- What to do if you've had a root canal that you suspect may be linked to other health issues you experience
Quotes
“Somewhere between 15 and 20 million root canals will get done in the United States this year. That's a lot of environment created that will breed infection in people's jaw bones, which is going to infect their entire health.” [8:23]
“There's this whole infectious aspect to root canal treated teeth and I've sent probably a couple of 100 teeth to a DNA lab over the last three to four years. Every single one I have sent has come back teeming with bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.” [5:50]
