Toxic Tuesday: Root canals and the question we should be asking.

A tooth is not just a tooth — it is a living part of the body.

When a tooth becomes symptomatic, meaning sensitive, painful, inflamed, or infected, the common recommendation is often: “You need a root canal.”
But what if we paused and asked a deeper question?
Why is the tooth hurting in the first place?
Can the inflammation be resolved?
Are there biological options that may support healing before removing the life of the tooth?

At Blodgett Dental Care, Dr. Kelly Blodgett approaches dentistry through a whole-body lens. In many cases, teeth that are headed toward root canal treatment may have other options, including biological restorative techniques, air abrasion, lasers, ozone, and biocompatible treatment planning.

Here’s why this matters: every tooth is connected to the body. In biological dentistry, we look at how oral health, chronic infection, inflammation, and energetic balance may influence overall wellness.

If your health goals include living with as much vitality, resilience, and whole-body wellness as possible, it may be worth thinking twice before choosing a root canal.
There are often options your dentist may not have shared with you.

Wellness Wednesday: Disconnecting the battery in your head!
When this patient decided she wanted all foreign materials removed from her jawbones, she said, “I’m convinced that all these metals in my mouth are messing with my health!”
Going section by section, all four implants were removed — along with their abutments and crowns. There were three different implant brands in her jaws, each made from a different titanium alloy.
As the first implant was removed, she immediately said, “Woah!” We paused and asked if she was okay. She replied, “My vision just got much clearer! What did you do?” I explained that one of the metal implants had just been taken out.
As the remaining implants and restorative components were removed, she noticed pain leaving her shoulders, neck, and ears in real time. It was incredible to witness such a noticeable shift in how she felt.
This should not come as a shock — pardon the pun. When dissimilar metals are placed in the same bath of electrolytes, such as saliva, they can create a battery effect. This is commonly known as galvanism.
Anyone who has ever had “silver” fillings — also known as mercury amalgam — may remember the sharp zing that can happen when biting on aluminum foil. So the question becomes: why are metals still so commonly used in the mouth?
What many people do not realize is that it is now possible to perform every aspect of dentistry without metal. From fillings, crowns, and bridges to implants, abutments, and partial dentures, there are metal-free options available.

Toxic Tuesday: Disguising a dead and infected root canal tooth with porcelain does not make it healthy!

It is common in conventional dentistry to place a crown over a tooth after root canal treatment, often with the intention of protecting it from fracture. While that rationale may have some relevance for posterior teeth, there is far less evidence supporting this approach for anterior teeth.

What crowns on front teeth often do exceptionally well is conceal what is happening beneath the surface.

That was the case here.

After trauma to this tooth at a young age, this patient was advised to have a root canal. Like many people, she trusted the recommendation without ever being told the possible long-term biological implications. Over the following decade, she experienced worsening chronic acne. Topical treatments did not resolve it. Medications did not resolve it. Yet after the tooth was removed, her skin began to clear.

Why might that happen?

A root canal-treated tooth is non-vital and may continue to harbor microbes and inflammatory byproducts. In this case, approximately two-thirds of the microbes identified were gram-negative, which contain lipopolysaccharide, or LPS, a potent endotoxin known to activate the immune system. When these byproducts enter the surrounding jawbone, they may also enter circulation and contribute to inflammation elsewhere in the body.

This is one of the core principles of biological dentistry: a tooth may appear beautifully restored while remaining biologically compromised.

If you have a root canal and would like a more comprehensive perspective, our New Patient experience is the best place to begin. Reach out through our website to explore your options.

“It was the BEST investment I have ever made for myself.”
That’s Dina — in her own words — after having her mercury safely removed at Blodgett Dental Care. Her migraines drastically improved. Her energy came back. And she discovered what so many of our patients eventually do: the mouth and the body are deeply connected.
The mouth-body connection isn’t a trend. It’s biology. And for so many people, addressing it is the missing piece in a health journey that’s been quietly stalled for years.
A special shout-out to our Mitzi — Dina’s words, not ours: “one of the best assistants I have ever met.” We couldn’t agree more. Mitzi and our whole team show up every day to treat real people like whole people. That’s the work. That’s why we say Human Beings Helping Human Beings.
Curious what whole-body dentistry could do for you?
💬 Comment “Best” and we’ll send you Dina’s full story.
