Has anyone seen the Netflix documentary, Root Cause?

[Kimberlake]

It is about a man who blames his anxiety disorder on a root canel. Was wondering if any one who seen this agrees.

I haven't seen it. I know people who believe dental work and fillings can be damaging. I wonder if the root canal experience was traumatic or set off a buried memory. Just my thoughts.

I just read a couple of articles about this documentary and of course the dental community says it's mostly conjecture. But one thing is for sure....abscess and root canal make for systemic disease....once you have introduced infection into the blood, it's a mixed bag of potential issues. And even though not conclusive, the dentists did agree heart problems due to the systemic bacterial infections travelling in the blood stream can be an issue worth caution and more study.

I tell everyone to never get a root canal. I got one, it got infected and fell apart, gold crown fell off completely. I’m going to have all of it removed by a holistic dentist. The dental industry has known for years about the danger and continues to push them on their patients. They are just a perfect place for bacteria to grow and then it enters the bloodstream. Thank you so much for sharing this, I’ll check it out. I believe there is a cancer link too.

Back at Christmas my sister in law told me that she'd had every Mercury filling removed and replaced by white and felt much better. So I don't know....

Thank you all for your stories. I have A mercury filling, 3 , and I always wondered if having another option why they chose that. And I'm starting to think I should have them redone, if that's even possible.
