Dr. Evans’ Treatment Philosophy
What Dr. Evans does and doesn’t do:
- Dr. Evans sequences treatment, starting with the highest priority
- Dr Evans does not use metals like mercury, nickel or palladium
- She uses ozone to remove deep bacteria in decayed teeth in order to prevent root canals
- For root canals infections she uses ozone and lasers to remove bacteria, even from dentinal tubules
- When an infected tooth needs extraction, she works with a specialist.
- After tooth extraction she uses lasers and ozone to sterilize the area and promote fast healing
- For implants she offers non metal, ceramic implants, also called Zirconia implants
- She always recommends removing the least tooth structure possible to lower the risk of a root canal
- She often recommends inexpensive laser therapy to patients who need to treat their gums and in order to avoid surgery
Dr Evans needs to take Xrays before commencing with any dental work.
If you want to do treatment on one tooth that needs to be fixed or if you are in pain, then she can do the Xrays necessary just for that one tooth. That is perfectly fine. However, if you want to continue seeing Dr. Evans after that, she will need a full set of our low radiation digital Xrays to have imaging of all the teeth. If you’ve had a full set of films taken within the last year, this usually will suffice. Dr. Evans is careful to take only necessary Xrays to see what is really going on, to be sure she is not missing something. Also, we can recommend some nutritional and homeopathic support that lessens the negative effects of Xrays systemically.
Can I heal my root canal infection naturally with things like colloidal silver, ozone, homeopathics, Dr Price’s diet, essential oils, antibiotics, etc.?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. While all of these approaches support the body and can provide some temporary relief through boosting the body’s innate healing potential, they cannot resolve or cure an infected tooth. The reason for this is that the pulp of the tooth, along with its blood supply, has broken down and there is no more blood supply to and into the tooth. Because of the lack of blood flow, nutirests and other support will not be delivered inside the tooth where the infection is. In the end you need to treat the tooth to resolve the infection. This means either a root canal or extraction. Dr. Evans will discuss your options with you.
