Are you worried about root canals being toxic?

[00:00:00]Let me address this breast cancer claim head-on because it's wildly irresponsible. The statistic they love to throw around, 98% [music] of women with breast cancer had a root canal on the same side, sounds compelling [music] until you realize it's completely made up. There is zero credible scientific evidence linking root canals to cancer.

[00:00:19]None. Want to know what the actual research shows? A 2013 study in the JAMA Head and Neck Surgery found that patients with multiple root canals had a 45% reduced risk of cancer. That's the opposite of [music] what these fearmongers are claiming. And this whole bacteria hiding in tubules going systemic [music] thing, we have technology that addresses this. We have peer-reviewed studies showing improved success rates. We have decades of follow-up data. What we don't have is any legitimate science supporting these conspiracy theories. I've performed over 30,000 root canals. I follow my patients for years. [music] If root canals were causing cancer, don't you think I'd see it? Don't you think the entire medical community would notice a pattern? This [music] isn't medicine. It's fearmongering and it's dangerous.
