Is it necessarily the anaesthesia or a hemorrhage? Have they considered removing the root canal? Sometimes removing the materials from a root canal has improved a patient's health significantly.
Certainly one could understand why the dental industry would avoid the meme "root canal = bad!", but in this case the patient has little to lose, his future being lost already.
- duskwuff 11y agoClaims that dental fillings are toxic, and that removing them will provide various health benefits, are a somewhat common medical scam. There is absolutely no evidence supporting these claims. http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/mercury.html http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/mercury.ht...
- jivardo_nucci 11y agoWe're talking about _root_ _canals_, not dental fillings! Other than the anaesthetic, the materials used in root canals are are entirely different from those used in a dental filling. Furthermore, root canals require different training and are (usually) done by endodontists. Dentists usually handle the more mundane and more tested procedure of dental fillings. My point is, root canals are much more invasive and have their own problems(not associated with dental fillings).
