The Root Canal Question: What Are We Actually Saving? Tooth taxidermy, biofilm, zirconia implants, and the human attached to the tooth

Root canals aren’t simple. They’re not automatically evil, and they’re not automatically harmless either. In this deep-dive resource, I unpack what a root canal actually preserves, what it permanently removes, what may remain inside complex root anatomy, how biofilms behave, why “the bacteria might be dead” is nowhere near the end of the conversation, and how immune resilience, systemic inflammation, zirconia implants, periodontal-ligament function, regenerative endodontics, and whole-body health all fit together.
