I’ll start this blog with an odd question: Can root canals contribute to cancer risk?

This is a question I have never thought of before, but here’s what I learned from my latest podcast guest, Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett.

Silver mercury fillings, root canals, and fluoride harm our bodies.

An article on Dr. Axe’s website, written by Annie Price, CHHC, “Mercury Poisoning Symptoms & How to Avoid or Recover from Them,” says ideally, there would be 0 mercury in our bodies. However, this is not the case due to our diets and dental practices.

People with these fillings are at risk of poisoning. They may experience a metallic taste in the mouth, vomiting, breathing difficulties, a bad cough, and swollen and bleeding gums.

If you want to explore this more, listen to my latest podcast with Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett. We will dive into root canals, the effects of fluoride, and mercury fillings!

Oh and I didn’t know much about this topic, but when I was planning to record with Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett, I wanted to ask educated questions.
