OH YES INDEED I believe that over-treating the teeth can indeed lead to tooth failure!
That said, dental bacteria can be deadly.
But SHEESH I wish I had not had all the fillings, root canals, crowns etc.!! Had I but known! that those teeth were doomed to fail anyway! And the thousands of dollars, because the -ists insisted I had to "save the tooth!"
I have come to conclude, just get it pulled and get an implant, it will be cheaper in the long run?!? OH we think we cannot afford an implant, but look at all the expenses over the years on a tooth that is doomed to fail . . . fillings, root canal, crowns, etc.
You should search GAW for holistic dental posts. I don't know much about it myself, except that teeth can regrow slowly just like bones because they are bones with a special coating. There are apparently natural remedies, and naturopathic or holistic dentists that will help you use them.
Edit to add: I've known a few people that've gotten implants and weren't happy with them at all.
