Maybe you should ask what material these dentists were using for their
root canal fillers.  There is a substance called Sargenti Paste that
some dentists use for root canals.  They have been known to put peanut
oil in the mixture.  Since they do not tell patients they are using
it, patients with peanut allergies would be at risk for anaphylaxis
reaction.  Patients could also have allergic reactions to many of the
other substances used in Sargenti Paste.


Formaldehyde is also a serious allergen and can cause anaphylaxic
shock. I hope they didn't use it but if they did the family needs to
know. They need answers and the rest of the country needs to know so
it doen't happen to them. I found a link to an 1994 FDA meeting
where Sargenti paste was denied approval. It was a foot note on one
of the other articles posted in this message thread. I don't see how
dentists can use it if it is not FDA approved. The Sargenti supporters
in this article sound unprepared and a little like snake oil
salesmen. It's scarey to think that people like that are imposing
their unconventional beliefs on us. Here is the article. The
Sargenti stuff starts a few pages into the document.
