In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez delves into the controversial topic of root canals and presents compelling evidence on the efficacy of root canals. Through research studies and insightful explanations, Dr. Christian Gonzalez explores the potential risks and downsides of root canal treatments, including the possibility of persistent infection, inflammation, and even increased risk of heart disease. Dr. G strongly advocates for informed consent and encourages listeners to consider alternative approaches, such as consulting with holistic or biological dentists before undergoing a root canal procedure.

Show Notes:

-Introduction to the topic of root canals and their prevalence (41-59% of individuals have undergone at least one)

-Reasons for getting root canals: infection, deep decay, physical trauma

-Root canal procedure explained: removing infected tissue, cleaning, and sealing with gutta-percha

-Potential immediate risks: tooth fracture, allergic reactions, incomplete removal of infection

-The problem with root canals: bacteria and yeast may still live in the root canal after the procedure

-Study linking undetected tooth infections to a 2.7 times higher risk of heart attack

-Bacteria from the mouth found in heart disease plaques

-Cavitation surgery and zirconia implants as safer options
