Can Root Canals Cause Breast Cancer?

For over 100 years, dentists have been performing root canal therapy: the practice of drilling out the canals of a dead tooth to remove bacteria and “save” the tooth.
But by attempting to save a dead tooth, have dentists been causing breast cancer?

Some scientific research says yes.
“Dr. Thomas Rau, who runs the Paracelsus Clinic (cancer clinic since 1958) in Switzerland recently checked the records of the last 150 breast cancer patients treated in his clinic. He found that 147 of them (98%) had one or more root canal teeth on the same meridian as the original breast cancer tumor. His clinic has a biological dentist section where all cancer patients, on reporting in, have their mouth cleaned up first — especially all root canal teeth removed.?There are about 24 million root canals done in the U.S. alone every year. They were proven deadly disease agents in 1925 in a study by Dr. Weston Price and 60 prominent researchers. That study has been suppressed ever since by the ADA and the American Association of Endodontists (AAE).”
(The Independent Cancer Research Foundation,

100% of the breast cancer patients involved in the study had root canals, or other infections, on the same acupuncture meridian. (Click Here to Discover the Meridian Tooth Chart.)
When a root canal is performed, the dentist attempts to remove all bacteria and fill the canal with foreign substance to stop bacteria from re-entering the tooth. However, due to the shape of your tooth canal, it is 100% impossible to remove all bacteria and completely fill the canal. What you end up with is a partially filled tooth canal that is actively growing and hiding bacteria.
Root canals are a safe haven for microbes and bacteria. When the canal is filled, it eliminates blood flow to the tooth, prohibiting your immune system from killing off the microbes and bacteria that remain in the tooth canal.
These microbes originate in the same biological locations that cancer cells form.
Microbes, bacteria, and other toxins from inside the tooth can leak from inside the tooth and into your body, causing infections and other health problems, including cancer.
Despite the fact that root canals have been directly linked to cancer through multiple research studies, the results have never been published by the ADA.

Hi, Have just listened to your video on root canals. Very interesting. I am 55 and for the past 30 years i have been feeling very unwell, but nobody including physciatrists new what was wrong. To cut a long story short i am working with a chinese and holistic practioner. I have had all mercury removed, but still have a metal crown in mid lower left jaw. Next to this crown is a tooth which is always inflammed and so is the gum. Dont know if this is the metal crown that i am allergic too. I know i have a few more root canals, one in particular is upper right jaw 5th back. Had the mercury and metal crown removed only a few months ago. Seemed fine until a few weeks ago and has started hurting me. I know i have a root canal under this. I am currently being treated for lymphatic blockage and practioner has said that he queries all the toxins from my teeth blocking my system. I no sooner go for treatment and then it blocks up again. My holistic practioner has said that it will be my root canals that are causing the problem. i contracted an underactive thyroid by her after many years of being undiagonosed. I am not metabolising the thyroid tablets. Could this also be due to the root canals.
I would appreciate your views on this. Keep up the good work. I know there are many people suffering unnecesarily we are not told about any hazards inthe mouth. It is frightening.
Many thanks

Laurianne,
I understand how you feel. Many people have had the same or similar reactions to dentistry. Unfortunately, holistic dentistry is not a sure thing. What we do is educate our patients on removing all toxins in the mouth, including all metals and root canals. If those issues are resolved, then you MAY be on your way toward solving the other issues as they MAY be related. Our bodies are too complex to show definite “A causes B” relationships.
My recommendation is to remove ALL toxins from your mouth. If things get better, then great. If not, then at least you removed more toxins from your body. Be careful with dentistry… it is important but dentistry is very traditional. It IS frightening.
Thanks for the question.

I found out last night about the root canal/breast cancer connection and I am very concerned! I am 21 and was told I NEEDED to have three root canals done when I was around 15. I had two done but got so sick of the time and pain it took that I never got the third root canal. After reading about all the evidence it sickens me that dentists still practice this method. Money above life? How dare they! If you could please refer me to a dentist that will remove my root canals and other metals in my mouth, I am too scared to call a regular dentist just so that he can tell me I am being paranoid. Thank you for posting this page!

Also I live in the Phoenix AZ area or else I would come to the Encinitas office right away.
Hi Samantha, try checking out the IAOMT (http://iaomt.org/patients/results.aspx?stateProv=Arizona). They are a great resource to find natural dentists.
Good luck!

My dentist told me I need 3 root canals but after I read about root canal can cause breast cancer it really worry me, I just want to ask if I don’t do root canal what can I do ?? Thanks a lot

Sharon, breast cancer is just one of many health problems that have been linked to root canals. While having a root canal is certainly not a guarantee you’ll get breast cancer, scientists have discovered that the bacteria that can form in the root of a tooth that has been treated by root canal therapy could lead to breast cancer. As for your question, the safest alternative to a root canal is to have the dead teeth extracted and replaced with a bridge or other alternative. I would recommend you speak with a natural or holistic dentist in your area (you can search the IAOMT website (http://iaomt.org/international/index.aspx) for a local dentist to suit your needs) who can provide specific alternatives based on your particular case.
Good luck!
