Root Canals Lead to Infection! Here’s what I’d do if I already had one
🦷 Root canal safety, root canal infection, immune system health, ceramic dental implants, cone beam CT scan—if you’ve ever wondered whether a root canal could affect your overall health, this is for you.
If you already have a root canal, should you be worried?
_____________________________________________
In this honest and experience-based discussion, Dr. Michelle shares what a root canal actually is, why it can become a concern for some people, and how she personally evaluates whether to keep or remove one — based entirely on individual health history.
What you’ll learn:
✅ Why a root canal tooth is considered “non-vital” — and what that means for your immune system
✅ How to decide whether to monitor or remove a root canal based on your personal health history
Dr. Michelle also explains:
Why dentinal tubules can’t be fully sterilized
How bacteria may affect surrounding bone
When a cone beam CT scan is necessary
Why heart health, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness matter in this decision
When ceramic dental implants may be an option
This conversation is highly individual. Some people may safely monitor a root canal for years. Others with heart concerns, autoimmune conditions, or chronic illness may choose removal.
The key question: What does your overall health look like?
