Traditional Chinese medicine believes that your teeth are very important for the health of the rest of your body. Chinese medicinal practitioners believe that every tooth is connected to every organ in the body.
So could your teeth contribute to the root causes of disease? Well, according to some researchers, one common dental procedure may be at the root of the problem.
So picture this: You are in the dentist chair, and your dentist brings back an x-ray and says, “You need a root canal.” Your first reaction is to fix the problem; after all, you don’t want to lose your tooth. You would rather avoid replacing it with an artificial tooth, so you say yes to the root canal. However, it turns out that you could also be saying yes to increasing your risk of disease.
