Dangers Of Root Canals And Crowns | What To Do Instead - YouTube
- 03:14 Crowns are meant to strengthen weak teeth, but if enough tooth structure remains, they might not be necessary.
- 03:56 Placing a crown requires removing significant tooth structure, including enamel, the tooth's protective layer.
- 04:09 ⚠️ Removing enamel can increase tooth sensitivity and make it more prone to dying.
- 04:37 🩹 Crowns ideally bond to enamel, but removing it weakens the crown-tooth connection.
- 05:04 漏 A weak crown-tooth bond can cause leaks and lead to new cavities under the crown.
- 05:17 [invalid URL removed] domino According to the video, root canals and crowns often lead to a cycle of further treatment and eventual tooth loss.
- 06:38 A sensitive tooth might be "affected" but not infected, and treatable with alternative methods.
- 06:52 ☠️ An infected tooth with dead nerve and bacteria growth is best removed to prevent further issues.
- 07:57 Exposing the nerve tissue during a procedure can lead to the tooth dying.
- 08:24 Ozone treatment can kill bacteria in a cavity without harming the nerve.
- 08:52 ✅ If a cavity is treated without exposing the nerve, the tooth can potentially heal itself.
- 09:20 ✨ Tooth sensitivity can be a good sign, indicating a living tooth treatable with alternative methods to root canals.
- 09:48 According to the video, in many cases (around 95%&t=588), dentists can treat cavities and save the tooth without needing a root canal.
- 10:03 Many root canals (60-80%&t=603) might be avoidable if the tooth is affected but not infected.
- 10:15 If enough tooth structure remains after a cavity is treated, a crown might not be necessary.
- 10:43 Onlays are a more conservative alternative to crowns, preserving more tooth structure.
- 11:10 ️ Preserving tooth enamel is important for long-term tooth health.
- 11:40 Biomimetic dentistry aims to preserve natural tooth structure and intervene before tooth loss is inevitable.
- 11:54 ✅ Biomimetic dentistry offers potential long-term benefits like preserving natural teeth.
- 11:59 To find a dentist who practices biomimetic dentistry, ask if they offer treatments like ozone therapy and onlays.
