Root Cause

"Root Cause" is a documentary that delves into the controversial claim that root canal procedures might be linked to serious health issues like cancer, heart disease, and chronic illnesses. Directed by Frazer Bailey, the film follows his personal quest to understand his own health problems, which he attributes to a root canal he underwent. The documentary has stirred significant debate, with many in the dental community, including the American Dental Association and the American Association of Endodontists, dismissing its assertions as baseless and potentially harmful misinformation. Despite its removal from Netflix due to these criticisms, "Root Cause" continues to be accessible on other platforms, prompting viewers to critically evaluate the relationship between oral health procedures and overall well-being.
