The Toxic Tooth

“Is Your Smile Worth Your Life?” sheds light on the hidden dangers of root canal procedures, challenging the common perception of their safety. Authored by Robert Kulacz, DDS, and Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, the book reveals the potential risks associated with root canals and urges readers to reconsider the necessity of undergoing such procedures.

While root canals are often viewed as routine dental treatments for addressing infected teeth, Kulacz and Levy argue that they are scientifically flawed and pose significant health risks. According to Dr. Levy, root canals introduce harmful toxins into the body, as the treated teeth are not sterile and may harbor pathogenic bacteria. These bacteria can spread throughout the body and contribute to or exacerbate various health conditions, including heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancer.

By questioning the safety and efficacy of root canal procedures, “Is Your Smile Worth Your Life?” encourages readers to be more discerning about their dental care choices and to explore alternative approaches to addressing dental infections. The book serves as a wake-up call to the potential health consequences of undergoing root canals and advocates for greater awareness and informed decision-making in dental healthcare.
