Do you realize that “recommended treatment” is actually anecdote itself and not a science?

Pretty much our overall health depends on various internal and external factors, that includes immunity and external environment, including food we are using, so you have to use your own brains and scientifical methods to figure out what works INDIVIDUALLY for you and “recommended treatment” at this point is nothing else than a belief in religion, because you actually do not understand what it is at this point, as you have not done your research.

>>>but science was invented

Please do not be this condescending "new age moron" teaching others what is science and making cringe to others like me, that hears it. It seems, that YC is plagued with this type of attitude, while actual science starts with curiosity and methods applied and not some belief in religion of Science. It also is a scourge of modern times, that so many professionals, that are doing science result in faking it with hopes of making it eventually, which itself is a complete failure of science as it is very simply a methodology - based on observations and collected knowledge and not a Bible of instructions, that give their holders religious title of Scientist.

I've said this before but not specifically about dentistry.

If all recommended treatments have been tried with no success, the real solution will have to be something that is not recommended.

With all other things held constant, in such a case the non-recommended approach would have best been the first and only treatment deployed.
