A critical case against root-canal treatment

Robert Kulacz and co-author Thomas E. Levy question the safety of root-canal procedures, arguing that treated teeth can retain bacteria and that these may affect health beyond the mouth. The book frames dental treatment as a subject for broader scrutiny, connecting oral health with claims about several systemic illnesses. Its central perspective is explicitly cautionary, presenting the authors’ challenge to a common procedure rather than a neutral overview of dental practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking a book that critically examines root-canal treatment
  • Readers interested in the authors’ claims about connections between oral and wider health

Book overview

Is Your Smile Worth Your Life? What You Need to Know Before Undergoing a Root Canal Undergoing a root canal procedure isn't anyone's idea of a good time, but if one is necessary, we don't question its safety. According to Robert Kulacz, DDS and Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, we should. Here, they reveal the hidden dangers of root canals. Nobody looks forward to having a root canal. But if you're in constant discomfort because of an infected tooth, you'll willingly hop into the dentist's chair and open wide. Sure, you might worry about feeling pain during the procedure (or paying for it afterward), but beyond those concerns, there's really no reason to worry about undergoing this common outpatient procedure, right? Wrong. Robert Kulacz, DDS and Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, say that a root canal is actually a scientifically flawed and potentially dangerous procedure. "Instead of solving a problem, root canals introduce a steady stream of dangerous-and even deadly-toxins into your body," says Dr. Levy, co-author along with Dr. Kulacz of The Toxic Tooth: How a root canal could be making you sick. "Root canal-treated teeth are not sterile and contain pathogenic bacteria, which spread throughout the body and can initiate or worsen heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and even cancer."
