Dead teeth cause a wide variety of diseases.
In a dead tooth – even when the root canal has been correctly filled – there is still enough space for putrefactive bacteria to decompose the remaining dead organic substance and to form highly toxic metabolites like putrescine, cadaverine, mercaptan and thioether. They also produce carcinogenic substances like indole, scatol, tryptophan and free radicals. The strong effect of all these cadaveric poisons is well documented.
If very minute quantities of thioether are injected into test animals, this results in serious liver damage and inflammation of the blood vessels, joints and muscles, which leads to degeneration. The cadaveric poisons paralyse the enzyme system, as research by professors Haley and Pendergrass in the USA shows.
Professor Haley even reports of the death of a female member of his laboratory staff during the tests. Only two drops, accidentally assimilated via the skin, were enough to kill her. The cadaveric poisons from the dead tooth penetrate the surrounding jaw bone and, from there, they get into the entire body through the bloodstream.
It appears that the toxins can also move through the nervous system, even into the brain. The toxins can also disturb the hormone production of the glands in the body, thus disrupting the metabolism.
A particularly dangerous combination is that of cadaveric poisons, toxins and heavy metals like mercury, those do not just complement each other, they even intensify each other. It is only a question of time how long the body can manage to discard or metabolite the poisons and toxins. At some point the body is unable to cope, and disorders appear. It often takes a long search before the cause of such disorders are found.
It has long been known that dead teeth, even the ones whose roots have been correctly filled, sooner or later become sources of poisoning and can lead to a slow and gradual degeneration of the patient. Weston A. Price, a US dentist famous for his research in the 1920s and 1930s on the causes of jaw and tooth degeneration, extracted the dead teeth of chronically ill patients and implanted them under the skin of rabbits. Within three days the rabbits showed the first symptoms of illness and usually died as a consequence of the poisoning.
However skilful and careful a dentist is at filling the root canals, 40 to 60 percent – i.e. about a half – of the original soft tissue still remains. It is above all the side root canals that are left untouched, and also the many tiny dentine channels – up to 30,000 per square millimetre cross-section, with a total length of 4 to 5 kilometres. Putrefactive bacteria settle in the dead organic matter in these remaining cavities, despite disinfection, and produce highly toxic metabolites.
A dead tooth with an amalgam filling is a constant source of poisoning, which has an increasingly detrimental effect on the body. The biological effect of mercury poisoning from amalgam can be amplified by a factor of 25 to 100 in the case of a dead tooth. In time, the dead tooth becomes a constant source of poisoning. The strong bacterial toxins spread in the body and cause problems. A correct filling of the root may delay and moderate the development of such sources, but it cannot prevent it. The breeding ground for bacteria in the tooth often grows slowly over the years and has a gradual detrimental effect on the patient's well-being, usually without the patient feeling any pain. That is why the cause of the illness is only rarely ascribed to the teeth.

WHAT IS holistic dentistry?
Holistic dentistry developed from the knowledge that trouble with the teeth and the jaws can lead to serious health problems in other parts of the body.
It deals with the interactions within the whole body, for which purpose holistic dentists acquire additional knowledge in other fields of medicine.

Interconnection between organs and teeth
Here you can see, in simplified form, the relationship of the teeth to the bodily organs and to possible effects, for example migraine, when there is a problem in the tooth or teeth concerned.

Root end surgery does not solve the problem
When a dead tooth is recognised as the source of a problem, we know from experience that the end of the root is the main culprit because it is mainly in the side root canals that colonies of putrefactive bacteria nestle.

Root fragments
When a dead tooth is pulled, the end of the root can break off, especially when bacteria have already started decomposing the root.
