4 years ago i had a root canal in one of my top front teeth,because of getting hit in the mouth and a root died and caused an infection. Anyways all was good but about 2yrs after the filling fell out I had no pain at all just got food stuck up there with i would get out with a fork,tooth pick,broken Q tip, etc.well i read online that it could cause some bad health problems.
Well yesterday i was cleaning it out with a Q-tip broke in half and i smelt the end of the Q tip it smelt horrible,i had my mother smell it she said it smelt like infection.
So i thought about it some symptoms i have had since this filling has been out for almost 3 yrs are:
-heart palpitations(if that's kind irregular heart beat)
-some shortness of breath,but i still run 3.5mile a night,also feel short of breath sitting around.(never happened before)
-cough up mucus
-blow yellow bloody mucus out of my nose
-a little wheeze which after i cough once is gone
-sleeplessness
I know its not asthma,I've had PFT's done the only thing the Doc's have said is the small airways maybe a little obstructed from me smoking,which i quit.
I plan on going to the dentist later next week.
So do you guys and gals believe this tooth could be causing my problems? I am 98% sure it infected.I mean the tooth has be exposed for almost 3yrs now.My biggest answer i am looking for is would this cause breathing problems
Google the dental meridan chart and see if your bad tooth matches up with the liver-will take two minutes to figure it out. FYI-you should also check the one on either side since the infection could spread over in either direction
You are absolutely right, it seems like an infection in your teeth and this can cause many other problems in your mouth. So it will be best for you to concern with a dentist as soon as possible.
70 years ago doctor weston price found that root canals are unsafe and cause all kinds of problems not related to teeth because those root canal all get bacteria and leak into the blood stream. His findings were buried for over 70 years and that information is still being hidden even though some of it has managed to leak out. I had 3 root canal teeth yanked out this week and still am swollen from the process. My artial fib started shortly after I had those root canals and I am sure that was the reason. So asthma is a good bet as well. It has been 72 hours since my teeth were pulled and my Afib has not appeared again even though it has been going on constantly for three or more years. Best bet is to use a bridge or get implants. Dentists will tell you root canals are safe because like all greedy medical people they rely on root canals as a high profit procedure. We are not only being ripped of by modern medical doctors but by dentists as well. If your dentist tells you a root canal is safe he is lying through his teeth. Thou shall not disturb the profits of the profession and thou shall not speak ill of any other dentist. They have a good gig going and will not give up those profits even if it kills the patients. Save the teeth and kill the patient, that's the procedure. There are some dentists called biological or natural care dentists that can treat your teeth in a health safe way and they will all tell you root canals are extremely dangerous.
