Do root canals cause cancer or make us sick?

Recently there has been a lot of talk about the dangers of root canals and whether they cause health issues like cancer. As a holistic dentist, I thought I'd share my views to help you discern what does and doesn't hold true when it comes to the facts about root canals.

Dr Rachel Hall Brisbane Holistic Dentist discusses Root Cause the movie and what she did and didn't agree with after watching it. The same conditions that predispose you to tooth decay and dental disease are the same conditions that put you more at risk for things like cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and yes even cancer is this more likely the real reason so many people with root canaled teeth also have health issues?

If your mouth is unhealthy and has an untreated disease, inflammation or infection then it is increasing your risk for ill health and is already making you sick.

As a holistic dentist, I have the unique opportunity of looking inside your mouth and being able to see the condition of the inside of your body. I also get to look for and spot the warning signs of inflammation and disease that are contributing to or setting you up for these chronic systemic health issues.

The mouth is a window into the health of the body. It can show signs of nutritional deficiencies or general infection. Systemic diseases – those that affect the entire body, such as diabetes, blood cancers, and more can be detected by looking at the health of the mouth.

What are the six pillars of health care that you need to focus on to have a healthy life and reduce your risk for chronic illness and disease?

We are living in a society that believes that if you can put it in your mouth and eat it, it's food. However just because you can ingest it doesn't mean you can digest it or that it is good for you and your health. More and more we are learning the importance of optimal nutrition and how that relates to your health. We have seen a war wage over the sugar vs. fat camps as regards health and heart disease, a war that was won at great cost to humanity by the sugar industry. However the tide is turning, and the low carb healthy-fat living ideology is finding a voice and bringing amazing results to health.

Yet we find that the health authorities globally are trying to silence Doctors from promoting this way of eating that takes us back to common sense as nature intended nutrition.

Dr Rachel Hall Brisbane holistic dentist shares that general health essentially has 6 pillars, six things that if you do will improve your outcome for living a long and healthy life.

Holistic dentistry has some amazing science-backed protocols and approaches to oral health and dental treatments. In this show, Dr Rachel Hall exposes the not-so-pretty side of holistic dentistry, from the ugly to the downright dangerous and concerning new techniques and modalities that could cost you your health and your teeth.

One such treatment is jaw expansion without surgery for adults with devices called FAGGA or AGGA - anterior growth guidance appliances.

The Dental Zone dares to highlight this dastardly trend in adult 'braces' that makes claims to improve your airway and tmj issues with no scientific backing.

The good, the bad and ugly and the outright bullshit of holistic dentistry.

Has holistic dentist Dr Rachel Hall gone rogue?

In this show the unscientific and damn right crazy claims and treatments that are creeping into dentistry under the holistic flag get exposed. The first one being the total hoax and dangerous claims that adults can achieve jaw expansion without surgery.

There is a growing trend of dental appliances called AGGA and FAGGA that claim that you can increase the size of adult jaws to improve airway function, facial shape, bite issues and more. Holistic dentists are jumping on board and many patients are ending up facing serious consequences and dental harm. Currently, there is a class action being brought in the USA against the person who came up with the 'treatment' and many dentists are now facing malpractice claims.

There are a lot of questions about holistic dentistry and in this podcast, Brisbane Holistic Dentist Dr Rachel Hall provides her answers. Simply put holistic dentistry combines traditional dentistry together with medicine, science and natural health philosophies to support health and well-being.

Why did I become a holistic dentist, why is it important to me and more...

The British Dental Journal published an article promoting the benefits of dental offices having an amalgam separator unit fitted to their waste plumbing to protect the oceans and waterways from mercury pollution from dental amalgam.

Yet at the same time, the dental profession swears that amalgam is perfectly safe.

How can it be both - how can it be toxic to the ocean and all life in it but safe for you to have in your teeth?

Can you heal dental cavities with food?

As a holistic dentist, I am a strong believer in empowering and equipping my patients with the right tools and information to treat the root cause of their dental issues, instead of just treating the symptoms. And that is certainly the case when treating dental cavities.

Unfortunately, fillings are often the first line of defence against tooth decay, no matter how minimal the decay may be.

However, while there are some cavities that definitely require fillings – those that have eaten through to the inside of the tooth and those that are deep enough to reach the nerve and cause pain – there are also early or smaller cavities that you have the power to reverse on your own, at home. And the power to do so comes directly from the foods you eat.

The root cause behind many of today's most common chronic illnesses is excess exposure to toxic metals found throughout the environment, the food supply, cosmetics, dental amalgam fillings and in the past vaccines that we had in childhood.

Because heavy metal toxicity can manifest itself as all sorts of seemingly unrelated health conditions ranging from mental disorders and food allergies to gastrointestinal problems and organ failure, millions of people are likely suffering from this largely curable condition without even knowing it.

Heavy metals like mercury (found in dental fillings called amalgam), lead, arsenic and cadmium are lurking everywhere these days, making it nearly impossible to avoid them completely.

This is why it is critical to learn how to manage exposure through proper nutrition and detoxification.

Heavy metals are toxic to our well-being. Supporting the body to detox heavy metals like mercury from amalgam fillings can boost your immune function and energy levels. Brisbane Holistic Dentist Dr Rachel Hall explains more.

What is all the fuss about mercury fillings?

Leading Brisbane holistic dentist Dr Rachel Hall has been providing safe amalgam removal and mercury-free dentistry for over 20 years and fully understands the risks of having mercury fillings in your teeth.

The fuss stems from the fact that mercury leaks from your fillings over time, accumulating in your body and putting you at risk of mercury toxicity.

Amalgam removal is the process that holistic dentists use to safely remove mercury-containing amalgam fillings from your teeth. Brisbane holistic dentist Dr Rachel Hall, who is an amalgam removal dentist, shares the 10 things you need to know about amalgam fillings and mercury and your health.

Conventionally trained dentists are not going to tell you this. There is a lot of science behind fluoride and its impact on your teeth and health but is what you have been told both sides of the coin, is it the truth? The arguments range over fluoridation and whether fluoride causes detectable harm – after all it's only a small amount in the water supply.

Dr Rachel Hall Holistic Dentist discusses the harms and myths about fluoride in our drinking water.
