Dear Andreas,
I am writing you from the Dominican Republic. I am 32 years old. When I was 8 I broke the right front tooth. Since the nerve was affected, a root canal was performed in the tooth and it was fixed to appear white. I had a another root canal in my second lower molar, which has a white crown.
In 1996 a goiter appeared in my thyroid. It was treated with natural medicine and all the symptoms disappeared, including the goiter.
Since some days ago, I have been experiencing certain discomfort in my mouth, my gums are swollen and bleeding; and, I think (I am not sure where the discomfort is located exactly), everything originates in the second molar where I have the crown. Today, my thyroid is swollen and it hurts when I touch it and I have a mild earache.
What can be done in my case? I have been thinking about removing my front tooth but I am afraid of doing it. Is there a way to remove the bacteria from the root canals?
