A New IAOMT Review Is Sparking Important Conversations About Root Canals

The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) recently released an extensive review of the scientific literature surrounding root canal-treated teeth.

One of the key findings? Many root canal-treated teeth may continue to show signs of chronic inflammation around the root, even years after treatment. Modern 3D CBCT imaging is revealing much more than traditional dental X-rays can detect.

Does this mean every root canal is a problem?

No.

Many root canal-treated teeth function well for years, and successful treatment can reduce inflammation and preserve a natural tooth. But the new review reinforces something we've believed for a long time in biological dentistry:

Every patient deserves an individualized evaluation.

At Lotus Dental Wellness, we look beyond symptoms alone. We utilize advanced CBCT imaging, comprehensive exams, oral-systemic health assessments, and personalized treatment planning to help patients make informed decisions about their oral and overall health.

Whether you have a root canal that feels perfectly fine or one that you've been questioning for years, understanding the full picture matters.

Your smile doesn't exist separately from the rest of your body and your dental decisions shouldn't either.

Sometimes the teeth that have been “saved” for years are still silently struggling beneath the surface.

This patient came to Lotus Dental Wellness with two failing front teeth that had previously undergone root canal treatment — including one with an active abscess and chronic infection.

After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Shepard J. DeLong developed a treatment plan focused on restoring both function and long-term wellness.

The failing teeth were carefully removed and replaced with ceramic dental implants and custom ceramic crowns designed to create a healthy, natural-looking smile.

The result is more than aesthetics.
It’s confidence. Comfort. Stability. And a smile built to support whole-body health.

At Lotus Dental Wellness, we believe exceptional dentistry should look natural, feel natural, and support the body as a whole.

What if your dental “X-rays” could show far more than just teeth?

At Lotus Dental Wellness, we use advanced CBCT 3D imaging technology to see beyond the surface — helping us evaluate bone structure, airway health, hidden infections, jaw anatomy, and more with incredible precision.

Unlike traditional 2D dental X-rays, a CBCT scan creates a detailed 3D view of your oral structures, allowing for:
• More accurate diagnoses
• Safer dental implant planning
• Better evaluation of hidden inflammation or infection
• Improved airway and TMJ assessment
• More predictable treatment outcomes

This technology is especially important in biological and holistic dentistry, where understanding the connection between oral health and whole-body wellness matters.

Whether planning ceramic dental implants, full-mouth rehabilitation, or investigating chronic dental concerns, advanced imaging helps us provide more thoughtful, personalized care.

Your oral health is deeply connected to the choices you make every day, especially what you eat.

As a biological dentist, I believe dentistry should go beyond simply treating symptoms. We need to understand why disease develops in the first place. Nutrition plays a major role in the health of your teeth, gums, airway, immune system, microbiome, and overall wellness.

Tooth decay and gum disease are not simply “bad luck.” The body was designed to heal, remineralize, and protect itself when given the right support. A nutrient-dense diet rich in minerals, healthy fats, quality proteins, and fat-soluble vitamins can help strengthen enamel, support healthy gums, reduce inflammation, and create a healthier oral environment.

That’s why we created our new Nutrition for a Strong, Healthy Smile guides to help patients better understand the connection between nutrition and long-term oral health.
Inside the guides, we cover:

• Foods and nutrients that support enamel and gum health
• The role of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus
• How vitamin D, K2, and healthy fats support the body
• Hidden dietary factors that may contribute to inflammation and decay
• Simple ways to support your smile naturally through nutrition

These guides are available as free digital downloads through our website.

Our goal is to help people think differently about dentistry, not just fixing teeth, but supporting total-body wellness through education, prevention, and biological care.

This is what makes us smile.

"Amazingly wonderful people!!! I have been blown away by their kindness, care, and expertise. In the past 5 years, I have seen 8 other dentists, 3 of whom were holistic dentists. None of them could resolve my persistent pain and issues, and I even had some horrific experiences with one of the holistic dentists. I was afraid to trust any dentist again. Lotus Dental is full of compassionate, highly-skilled professionals. They have found the missing keys that the other dentists missed, and I finally have hope that I can have a pain-free mouth. They have definitely won my trust. Their office is full of people who do everything to make me comfortable and happy. I finally know I am in the right hands. I truly don't feel my words can do justice. I feel incredibly thankful to have found this wonderful place." - Marian

Your mouth is connected to far more than your smile.

Research continues to show that oral health plays a major role in whole-body wellness, including inflammation, immune health, cardiovascular function, and energy levels. When the mouth is unhealthy, the body often feels the effects too.

At Lotus Dental Wellness, we believe dentistry should support the entire body, not just treat symptoms inside the mouth. That’s why we focus on biological dentistry, biocompatible materials, and wellness-centered care designed to support long-term health.

If you’ve been looking for a more holistic approach to dental care, your oral health may be the missing piece in your wellness journey.

If it’s been 6+ months, your gums bleed when you floss, or your teeth just don’t feel as fresh or comfortable, your body is giving you signals it’s time to check in.

At Lotus Dental Wellness, your cleaning isn’t just a routine appointment, it’s part of your whole-body health.

We use Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) with Airflow technology for a gentle, effective clean that removes harmful biofilm without scraping. Plus, we incorporate ozonated water to help reduce bacteria naturally and support healing, because what we use in your mouth matters.

If you’ve been searching for a holistic dentist near me or a holistic dentist in Portland, this is your sign to experience a different kind of dental care.

Your healthiest smile starts with prevention and the right approach.

It’s easy to forget how much is around us until we slow down and actually see it.

From the quiet moments and nature to the landscapes that take your breath away, this planet gives us more than we could ever repay.

Today is a reminder to pause step outside and appreciate it not just today but every day.

Happy Earth Day! 🌱
