Is this possible? I have 4 root canaled teeth and previously had 3 others that were extracted.
Is it possible to successfully heal lyme and not deal with these root canaled teeth?
I know what GiGi would say...you have to do it.

I don't THINK I would TRY to outguess GiGi.
I have had one removed and one more canal to go.
I have also had some mercury fillings removed and replaced with the newer plastics or whatever they are. I have four more mercury fillings to have removed.
I feel a little rougher for awhile after having one removed, but then feel better after awhile.
Course I stop the Cat's Claw for 10 days before having one removed, so that could make some difference in how I feel also.

I have been feeling 90+% well over this past year, often 100%, and I definitely have dental work that needs to be addressed. So while I will buy it that you can recover from Lyme symptoms without pulling the root canals, it is still not good to have on-going infection in your mouth, it can make you sick all over in its own right, and lead to complications, such as heart problems.
Interestingly, when I relapsed last year, one of my wisdom teeth emerged, and rotted immediately, right down to the gumline. This year the other one broke through, and it is doing fine. I've heard too many stories of Lyme and teeth for this to be a coincidence.

So what do you do after having root canals pulled? I have two or three plus an implant which was put in because a tooth cracked all the way down. My dentist was perplexed as to why it happened and it was before I knew I had lyme.
Do you just go toothless because I sure don't want to do that...........although I do live in the Georgia hills.

I have 3 infected root canals and one cavitation. Four amalgams and test highly elevated in lead and elevated in mercury.
I have not yet removed any of it as my doctor says I'm too sick. He is getting the gut straight and eliminating systemic yeast first. I am feeling MUCH better. Still, even if he gets me to the point of no symptoms, I still will do the mouthwork because I do not want this to return. Dr absolutely agrees with this.
Everything I read says the metals have to go first as it retards all treatment methods, but dr says "I'm too sick to handle the load of toxins and bacteria that will be released". I choose to believe him and follow his protocol.
So you could say I am improving without removing my teeth, but I do not want any of this to come back on me later, especially the Rheumatoid Arthitis (secondary to Lyme) as it has already caused damage to a couple joints in my hands and wrists. I don't want to leave any stone unturned in my healing process.

I have one in the front, that has a root canal, and the stud tooth just bent because the base of my tooth cracked. SO IT has to go soon. It will take surgery to get rid of it as most is below gumline.
I will need a plate, or actually a partial plate. However it will have to be ALL plastic, as I want NO metal in my mouth. I am allergic to stainless steel also, so that makes it more difficult, but has to be.

I have several root canals. I am 95% well. I don't believe they have interfered with my treatment. Ann

Just one more - for the road -
Look up: Thio-ethers Thio-ethanols Mercaptans
These have been found in women's breast cancers. These deadly toxins are produced by bacteria in root canals and cavitations.
A search on the internet will bring you more info hopefully to help you decide.
Best of luck.

Now, wouldn't the Rife machine be able hit these deadly toxins using the right frequencies?
My machine sure is helping me with viruses and bacteria so I would think it could get this "junk" under our teeth and jaw bones.
