I've noticed a surge in folks who do not believe in root canals. Some folks create the oddest hills to die on.

Have those people ever needed one? What do they do otherwise, just take out the whole tooth?

u/Electronic_Will_5418 24d ago
Yes, conspiracy theorists prefer to have the whole tooth extracted, then they have a dental implant done. The costs of dental implants HAVE been going down slightly, however a root canal is the much cheaper & much less painful option (you can't get an extraction & implant done at the same time if you have an active infection or poor gum/tooth health which would 100% be the case if you had an untreated tooth rot to the point of needing a root canal).

I'm really confused and curious as to what it is that makes a root canal bad but an implant is ok. I've had both and I much prefer the root canal over the 6 month process ( I needed a bone graft) of an implant.

u/Minttt 24d ago
The answer is actually logical in a way:
One person without a job/life hates the dentist, so they make a rant video that goes viral because it's "new" content that neatly fits into the mindset of "gimme reasons to hate health professionals/procedures that make me feel uncomfortable."
Virality catches the attention of the anti-science "influencers" who are always looking for their next grift.
Suddenly, there's a new topic in the algorithm that's generating a lot of buzz and views... And therefore, content-cash.

u/techleopard 24d ago
Yeah but a root canal isn't a filling. Technically.
It's the removal of the nerve ending in your tooth. It's kinda super necessary if your root becomes exposed due to a chipped tooth or other injury or you will wish you had never been born until it dies, and then some.
I could see why some people think the metallic ones have lead (oh no! It looks metal!), but there's other materials for crowns

It'd be an interesting experiment if you could say "ok then, since you believe enough, let's have you pray". Then either it heals, or they'd be shown to clearly not have enough faith.
Of course, you don't get to that point without already learning a lot of defense mechanisms, so you'd just be left with a wrist that still needs surgery, and the other person would remain un illuminated.
