I've had 2 root canals, and only 1 of them got infected, but that's because my teeth have extra roots and the doc missed one.Dentists are the most annoying "upsellers" of all "medical doctors" I swear they are guilty of doing THE most non needed procedures - and its horrific what they do to kids. The kid dentists play this movie over and over in the waiting room that if you have a cavity your entire jaw is going to get infected and you will die, like almost instantly! I have a chipped tooth - it has no sensitivity to hot/cold or pain or anything- it just needs to be filled with some bonding - but I know once a dentist sees it they will want to do a root canal and replacement and none would just fill the damn thing. Every person I know that has had a root canal "to prevent infection" has had bad infections FROM the root canal.
There was a dentist here in Jacksonville that was doing unneccessary extractions and whatnot to children that were on medicare so he could charge extra. One of my patients had a grand daughter who had her front baby teeth extracted at 3 years old, had a bridge made to fill in the gap, and her front teeth are now just growing back in at 7.
