Anything is possible. Starting with the dangers of root canals.
Educate yourself for the sake of your health.
http://www.integratedhealthpractice....tment.asp#Root
ll root cancel fillings have the potential to casue bad health. This
is because, althought the nerve has been removed, bacteria still
colonise in the minute tubules of a tooth. These bacteria produce
toxins which enter the body causing potential harm.
An area of residual infection which is left under the gum, usually
following, but sometimes a long time after an extraction can cause
problems. Symptoms can be coincided with the energetic links to the
body as well as localised problems.

Root Canals. A tooth has miles of tiny canals running through the root.
A dead
or root filled tooth will have bacteria in these canals. There is no
way of
removing the bacteria once they are in there.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Quote:
>California Judge Approves Landmark Warning on Mercury Use in Dentistry.
>(San Francisco, CA) - For the first time anywhere, dentists will be
>required to post a warning about the dangers of mercury in their dental
>fillings. A California Superior court judge finalized the language for
>the warning to be posted in dentists' offices here today.
>The warning will read as follows:
>Notice to Patients, Proposition 65:
>Warning on dental amalgams, used in many dental fillings, causes exposure
>to mercury, a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth
>defects or other reproductive harm.
>Root canal treatments and restorations including fillings, crowns and
>bridges, use chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer.
>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has studied the situation and
>approved for use all dental restorative materials.
>Consult your dentist to determine which materials are appropriate for your
>treatment.
>The exact language of the warning was argued and then finalized before
>Superior Court Judge James A. Robertson II between the California Dental
>Association, the largest constituent organization of the American Dental
>Association and Attorney Shawn Khorrami (Cor-ahm-mee). The agreement
>requires its member dentists to warn patients about the toxic dangers of
>mercury dental fillings and root canals. The agreement also allows non-CDA
>dentists to opt in to the agreement and post the warning.
>The warning is the result of a lawsuit filed by The Law Offices of Shawn
>Khorrami on behalf of As You Sow, a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to
>advocacy and activism in the public interest.
>"This is the first admission by organized dentistry that amalgams pose a
>potential health risk," says Shawn Khorrami, lead attorney. "The only
>problem is that it's about 100 years too late."
>This California consent judgment follows on the heels of recent lawsuits
>filed in Georgia, Texas, Ohio and Los Angeles, California charging that
>mercury fillings placed in a woman's mouth contributed to the autism of
>her child, as well as lawsuits in Maryland, California, and New York
>charging the American Dental Association with misrepresenting amalgam
>dental fillings as "silver." The lawsuits basically allege that such
>fillings actually contain approximately 50% mercury by weight. They cause
>continuous, daily exposure to mercury and, thereby pose substantial health
>risks to certain users. Mercury, a highly toxic substance, is the most
>widely used substance in dental fillings today.
>The use of mercury-based thimerosal in vaccines also has been the source
>of the recent controversy in the Homeland Security legislation.
>Khorrami filed the lawsuit against Roger Fieldman D.D.S., Inc., the
>Citadel Dental Group, Inc. dental offices, dental laboratories and
>private dental schools and training programs with more than nine
>employees. The suit won the enforcement of Proposition 65, Safe Drinking
>Water and Toxics Enforcement Act [Health & Safety Code § 25249.6].
>Proposition 65 requires that a clear and reasonable warning be provided to
>persons prior to their exposure to a chemical known to cause cancer or
>reproductive harm. This statute lists mercury, contained in dental
>amalgam, as a substance that can cause reproductive toxicity. The lawsuit
>was based on the absence of warnings to patients treated with amalgam
>restorative materials in dental offices.
>The judgment on Proposition 65 mandates that all dental offices with more
>than nine employees provide warnings on the dangers of Mercury dental
>fillings to patients. Those in non-compliance could incur a fine of up to
>$2,500 per day.
