root canal healing

One of the most popular articles on this site is how I healed my child’s cavity using the protocol recommended by Dr. Weston A. Price DDS, a dentist who penned the incredible book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration back in the 1930s.

Granted, the cavity I healed was an early cavity .. it was a hole in one of my child’s top front incisors and it filled in within weeks to be as smooth as the teeth next to it.

But what about a tooth with a really bad cavity?   What if the cavity has actually eaten into the pulp of the tooth and your dentist recommends a root canal?

Guess what?  You can save these teeth too.

The protocol for healing teeth even in such a state of complete degeneration is described in the book Cure Tooth Decay by Rami Nagel. This article on saving damaged teeth without a root canal provides a compelling testimonial of this approach.

I had the privilege of talking to Rami personally at the Wise Traditions Conference last year.

I have no doubt that our conversation helped to enable me to heal my child’s cavity some months later and write about it hopefully helping thousands of people in the process do the exact same thing.

Watch this video featuring Rami Nagel which describes the diet required to avoid and heal teeth at risk for a root canal. Even teeth that are in need of an immediate root canal can be helped.

If you have teeth in such a severe state of decay and think there is no hope, think again. Proper, traditionally based nutrition can work wonders even in these types of situations where the teeth need root canals. Make sure you listen through the whole video to be sure you understand Rami’s description of all aspects of the diet required to heal root canal teeth. It’s much more involved than taking a couple of supplements. There is no quick fix.

In addition, the diet required to heal the root canal teeth needs to be continued so that the problem does not re-emerge in the future.

Need A Biological Dentist Who Understands the Dangers of Root Canals?

I get many requests about who I recommend as a truly holistic, biological dentist. If you are looking for one, I recommend Dr. Carlo Litano of Natural-Smiles.com – (727) 300-0044. He sees young children as well as adults. Be sure to tell Dr. Litano that The Healthy Home Economist sent you and get 10% off your first visit!

    Sarah, I added my testimonial to your blog. As a fellow blogger, I always appreciate testimonials and comments, so I thought I’d pay it forward. 🙂

    Good stuff. A few years ago, I went to the dentist with some bad tooth pain. I supposedly needed 2 emergency root canals. Instead, I did some research, found Rami Nagel’s book, and started taking the cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil blend. Several years later, I still haven’t had a root canal. Zero pain, and no problems.

    Wow…that’s all I can say…I just had a root canal done yesterday…well, the 3rd one on the same tooth! I had the first one done 2 years ago (as an emergency). A month ago I went in, because that tooth was causing severe pain. I ended up with another emergency root canal then, and it was severely infected. I had to have gum tissue removed and everything. The endodontist put medicine in it, and I had antibiotics. I went in yesterday to get the medicine out, and the root canal finished. I wish I would’ve seen this a while back! 🙂 Thanks for the info!!

    So this will also help damage caused by trauma? I have a micro crack in a tooth from a fall, that has been getting worse over the years, and it is too far forward to just yank.

    I have a root canal from when I was 15- my parents didn’t know any better. I am very very interested to know how your husband healed, and if he had the whole teeth removed (it is my very front left tooth and I am afraid to take it out at only 26 years old).

    I am also curious about what he did to remove them!

    Anthony, how did you get it past your lips? That stuff is way nastier than taking them alone. I have the blend and just can’t take it.

    Question: What does one do about the ones they’ve already had? You said your husband had his removed? What took their place? Dentures? Implants?
