Root Canals: Fact vs Fallacy

Root Canal: the two most dreaded words in the dentist's office. We all pray that we never hear these words spoken to us. But if it's supposed to help, can it really be that terrible a procedure? I'm afraid to say that, not having undergone a root canal myself, I have no solid answers. My research has only brought on more questions and, probably, more research. This is apparently a somewhat controversial issue as far as controversy can go with dental procedures. On one hand, you have dentists and dental professionals saying that a properly-performed root canal is highly beneficial; on the other hand, you have followers of holistic procedures claiming that, while the procedure itself may not be painful, each tooth is connected to another organ or system of your body, and the root canal procedure opens whatever organ or system is connected to the tooth being operated upon to disorders caused by bacteria and other pathogens originating from said tooth (sorry, that's a long sentence, but it actually is grammatically correct). Obviously, factors will vary case to case, but the idea that root canal therapy is such a painful procedure comes from the old methods of performing it. However, with the methods employed today, a majority of patients experience little or no pain at all during or after the procedure. If pain is experienced during the procedure, it tends to be due to high amounts of pain and possibly swelling on the day it's performed. Under these conditions, the pH balance inside your mouth is tipped toward being more acidic than normal, and the anesthetics used are most effective under normal pH conditions. When your mouth is more acidic, more anesthetic is required, and sometimes, the nerve is never fully numbed until they can drill and administer anesthesia directly to it. With that being said, pain is more commonly experienced after the procedure, when a number of complications can arise, including periapical abscess, hyperocclusion (when you grind and clench your teeth), extra canals not found by the dentist or endodontist, a fractured root, or others that would take much longer explanations (research for yourself if you're looking to get a root canal in the near future). Now, for fair representation of the holistic approach: according to those endorsing such approaches, as I said earlier, each tooth is connected to another part of your body. Given this, any changes in your teeth will tend to have corresponding changes in whatever organ or body system that is connected to whichever tooth or teeth experienced change. Because of this relationship, a root canal is especially one to be avoided. They say that having the tooth hollowed out as it is in a root canal procedure opens that tooth up to bacterial growth, regardless of the fact that the tooth is filled. These bacteria can then infiltrate the bloodstream through the filling material. Also, it's said that (as far as I can gather) the nerve in each tooth is connected to the nerves (from the brain) to specific parts of the body ? which is where the notion that each tooth corresponds to some part of the body comes from. So basically, nerve goes from tooth to brain, then connects there to nerve impulses going to the body. I wish I had some real answers for the truthfulness of either side of this issue, but I'm afraid that, when it comes to holistic vs. standard medicine, there doesn't seem to be much middle ground. So if you're really interested in the subject, or are looking to have a root canal done, it might be a good idea to do some reading on the subject and draw your own conclusions.
