plus when your root canal is done the tooth gets brittle eventually will
break off. you end up lossing the tooth. the only thing is does it last long
enough to be worth the money you put in.

Hi,

Betty, you need to go to my Toothily Yours link on my web page and read the
link
about root canals. RC's are the most over-prescribed treatment in dentistry.
I
was told I needed one in 85; had a temp filling put in. Five years later,
with
much fear and trepidation, I went to a new dentist, who removed the temp
filling
and said I never needed a RC at all. Pockets left by RC's are breeding
grounds
for bugs. There's even a link between RC's and fibromyalgia and other
diseases
that screw up the immune system.

  BTW, you can get oil of clove at most health food stores.

Cheers!

Carla
