Show Summary:
“Your health should always be top priority. If a tooth that has had a root canal is causing health issues, it might be necessary to remove the entire tooth to eliminate the infection and safeguard your well-being. While teeth can be replaced, your overall health cannot be compromised.”
For years, root canals have been viewed as a standard dental procedure aimed at preserving teeth and relieving pain. But what if there's more to them than meets the eye? Could these seemingly harmless dental procedures hold hidden dangers or elusive links to other health conditions?
Recent studies have unearthed captivating connections between root canals and systemic diseases like heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and even certain types of cancer. How does this happen? What is the underlying link between dental root canals and our overall well-being?
Join us in this engaging episode as we welcome Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a Functional Integrative Dentist and passionate advocate for root canal removal. Together, we delve into root canal procedures, their potential impact on our bodies, and the strategies to address this issue.

Exceptional Highlights:
- Root canals may not fully eliminate infection as bacteria and debris can persist inside tooth tubules, causing ongoing issues.
- Metals, like titanium implants, can be impacted by frequencies, causing temperature increases and bone melting around them.
- Long-grade dental infections weaken the immune system, leading to exhaustion in a constant battle. This can contribute to serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and autoimmune diseases.
