Alternative to Root Canals (LSTR with 3MIX-MP)

if you google 3mix-mp or lesion sterilization tissue repair, you will find out that they don't need to do root canals nearly as often as they do. They found out years ago that propylene glycol mixed with 3mix, a common dental anti-biotic, works so well as a carrier (over water) that the entire tooth and dentene are penetrated. And they've found that once the infection is gone the tooth re-mineralizes and grows back to health, so they remove as little as possible.

But the big question is how will all of our dentists make up all of that lost revenue, if they can heal people's teeth instead of replaceing or crowning them?

So, since the study was published in 2010, and dentists are using it all over the world...when will the USA look at it, and incorporate it into their "standard of care?"

I'm guessing not until one of the ingredients is at least as costly as the root canal, or as long as they can drag their feet about it. What do you think?

America exists to "make a buck" now days. Isn't that the American dream and all that?
Thus, it seems, as you said, until that day comes when they can "make more money" doing it this new way, why bother.

At least thats what I'm realizing more and more the further I get on through life..and its quite sickening to realize such a thing..

When currency becomes the greatest motive for existance, and is used to display your 'status' in society...well, I think thats a sign that our culture has really lost sight of things.

That is really interesting - good post.

I think doctors and dentists play on fear also. I always try to do research and ask questions but they plant that seed of doubt in your mind... and its pretty easy to spend money on your own health..
