The information on Root Canal was very interesting, however, it does not answer my question. I have also asked the question directly to Dr. Marvin and he refers me to the new website with videos and eBook. None of that answers my question, which is this: My dentist is recommending a root canal in tooth #12. I previously had an amalgam filing that fell out and he drilled out more tooth and put a deep filing of plastic or the common used “white filing”. There is now sensitivity of the tooth and my dentist is wanting to do a root canal. I am holding off and do not want to go too long for unwanted symptoms to start happening. What is my alternative to root canal, at this point, other than an extraction?
Hi Rita, I sent you an email in regards to your question. Please let me know if you didn’t receive it or have any other questions.
Thanks!

Dr. Marvin why do you not openly answer Rita question so all can read? gives me the idea u are trying to sell some thing rather then help. i have the same question what alternative to root canal,other than an extraction?
Sam, that’s a strong accusation from someone who hasn’t taken the time to explore the rest of our site — a site that’s loaded with free information. I’ve answered that question in full multiple times on this website, most recently here (this was on the homepage): http://naturaldentistry.us/1557/the-alternatives-to-root-canals/.
I didn’t answer Rita’s question directly because it was specific to her particular case. It would not be relevant to every one of the thousands who read our articles each week.
Read our recent article on the alternatives to root canals (http://naturaldentistry.us/1557/the-alternatives-to-root-canals/). If you still have questions, I’ll be happy to answer them. Hope that clears it up for you.
