All very competently done, with none of the "root canal pain" and swelling most people seem to experience. Eventually, I got older. :) And apparently my immune system was compromised enough so that I started getting sick, eventually to the point of getting a severe chronic sinus infection (fungus, apparently). Part of the reason, IMO, was the root canals. >Please tell me what is so bad about them? Root canals clear out the infection from the nerve and main blood supply to a tooth. But ... since teeth are porous, the infection remains inside the tooth (you don't feel it because the nerve isn't there). There is no way to eliminate the infection from inside the tooth -- and the body will continue to fight an infection it can't get rid of. >The amalgam >doesn't go near the root, so apart from the normal scary amalgam fillings, >which I have a mouthful of, tell me what it is, factually, supposed to do to >me.
