Hi, My name is Dr. Dawn Ewing. I'm the executive director of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine. And our phones have been ringing off the hook. What I hear is, hey, I just watched Root Cause on Netflix and I need help. Most people want to know if every root canal tooth needs to be extracted. Our answer is no. Each tooth does need to be tested individually to see if it's a problem. So how is this testing done? Well, some dental offices will have a special X ray machine called a 3D cone beam. It's also called a CBCT scan. It can be done in the dental office, and either the dentist will read the film or he may send it off to a radiologist. Some biological dental offices network with medical doctors like MDs, DOs, naturopaths, or chiropractors that may do different testing like applied kinesiology or use eav, eds or MSA to determine the health of the tooth. And if it's a burden or not, testing can be done after the extraction. Yes, the root canal tooth could be sent off to find out what bacteria is inside the tooth. So if you're looking for a biological dentist, which is what people are trying to find after watching the movie, Please go to www.iabdm.org. look for the Find a Practitioner button. Put in your zip code, and if you have trouble, then you can call us at the office and we will try to help. Thanks.
