For years my acupuncturist and holistic dentist both told me to not have root canals.
Now I have tooth pain that's getting worse and am being referred to Dr. Grove who is an Endodontist in Santa Rosa. Apparently he does some kind of German biological root canal using non toxic (or at least less toxic) materials that really completely fill the root so there is much less chance of infection or other complications.
I have sensitivities to many of the dental materials, anesthesias and concerns about whether this "biological root canal" is indeed a safe option. I also am dealing with chronic illness, so have to be careful.
Anybody out there knowledgeable about this and able to comment?
If anyone has direct experience with Dr. Grove, your feedback about him would be appreciated,
and if you've had a root canal done, I'd like to know if it was O.K. for you or if you had complications of any kind - especially if you tend to be sensitive!
If you don't feel comfortable responding publicly, please send me a private message.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me make this decision.
