Extraction Protocol for Root Canal Teeth

Seegarten Klinik Patient Report

No vasoconstrictors

These prevent bloodflow to the extraction site, convenient for the dentist, but horrible for the patient as the blood flow is the body’s way of cleaning the site. It clots on its own when optimal.

Tooth should be extracted as whole

When broken, the root canal infection (gangrene) dumps out. Think Exxon Valdez. in your jawbone. Teeth can usually be taken out whole, can be removed a little at a time, the blood lubricates it. They take it out a little more, more lubrication. The dentist can even take a break. You might need another injection as the non-vaso-constrictor numbing agent wears off more quickly. And then ‘pop,’ it should eventually come right out. Consciously releasing, letting go, helps the process, as the teeth have been part of us.

Site MUST be cleaned

The periodontal ligament and the bone must be scraped, very important, or the gangrene infection stays behind, the bone heals around pockets of necrotic tissue, disease becomes systemic. They’re called cavitations.

No anti-inflammatories

Inflammation happens for a reason, is part of healing and should NOT be repressed, the body is smarter than the collection of every human who’s ever existed, including dentists. I couldn’t find anything good for the pain except tramadol. An opiate without anything added (like acetaminophen) is probably optimal, as it’s from a plant, opium, and actually works. But extractions, in my experience, only hurt the night they’re removed and only briefly, though intensely. The next day it’s pretty much over, unless there are complications.

No antibiotics

The body is stronger and more capable than these, and once the r/c is gone, the infection should be gone (unless the site isn’t cleaned).

Prepare, eat well before you get the extraction. Meat is good before extraction, and during healing I'd have it in a liquid blended soup, sipped on the opposite side of the extraction site very carefully.

Replacement Teeth

There are little prostheses that clip on teeth and are often the best (in my opinion) for one missing tooth, if visible or if necessary for chewing or jaw/teeth stability. They make a new kind with softer materials than the old metal clips.
Dr. Stirum doesn’t mind implants if they’re zirconium. Dr. Mercola also has a video saying he doesn’t mind implants — zirconium only — and that’s what he would do.

There are bridges, where the dentist drills off the enamel of the teeth surrounding the extraction site ‘gap' and cements the ‘bridge’ for all three teeth (two mounts and the spot of the extraction). If decay develops in the ‘mounts,’ the living teeth that now don’t have enamel, the whole thing has to come out, though I’ve talked to people who’ve had them for many years without problem.

If the tooth is not visible a person can do nothing, although the biting pressure of other teeth can change when teeth are extracted, leading to more problems, like cracked teeth. Not a lot of great options out there, including the replacement process, though this is way better than root canals.
