   With this in mind, if you’re having a root canal therapy, you better make sure your dentist is well experience and qualified.

   I feel like I’m missing something here. I thought there was going to be a clear discussion on the alternatives. The only alternative I got out of both radio broadcasts was tooth extraction, or at least that was the way it seemed. So the alternatives are root canal or tooth extraction?

   Sean, the answer is much more complicated than that, but typically yes, the only two options are root canal or extraction. To better explain all the options I wrote a new article today (the full answer was too long for a comment on a post). You can check it out here: The Alternatives to Root Canals. I hope that helps clear it up a bit better.

   Thanks for the comment/question. I’ll be sure to explain our position on root canals further next time.

Surely there must be other options, right? This was the question posed by Sean after listening to recent podcasts (Root Canals, Infections, Formaldehyde, Oh My!). [...]
