I think this post didn't go through a couple hours ago as I was getting kicked offline:

Hi Loni,

Nope, it doesn't seal. Here's some links and snips about it. The last one may be an alternative for some of you needing nasty dental work.
Formaldehyde, lovely

Root Canal Cover-Up
Dr. Meinig found that the material gutta-percha, the most widely used root filling, a rubbery-like substance that packs more easily if it is somewhat warmed. However, when it cools and sets for a few days, shrinkage takes place. It is this expansion and contraction of the gutta-percha that causes a lot of the problems with infections....

75% of root canals have bacterial infections, (I have read all, and from reading on it, I tend to agree with that.)

A "root canal" allows a patient to keep a dead tooth in his or her mouth. The fallacy with this concept is that the body doesn't like dead things in it and will try, sometimes desperately, to get rid of the dead thing. Notwithstanding, the fact that it may be "handy" to save a tooth for "dental convenience", it does not change the fact that root canal treatments can devastate the human immune system.

Gutta-percha endodontic filling points were found to contain approximately20% gutta-percha (matrix), 66% zinc oxide (filler), 11% heavy metal sulfates (radiopacifier), and 3% waxes and/or resins (plasticizer).

All conventional root canals still do employ toxic substances to sterilize the interior of the tooth, such as eugenol (oil of clove) and formocresol (formaldehyde-creosote).

In the 1950s. Reinhold Voll, a German M.D., using an electro-acupuncture biofeedback system he had developed, discovered that each tooth in the mouth relates to a specific acupuncture meridian.

When you have a root canal, or even a big filling, or crown or anything that is not compatible with the body, it sets up an interference field, blocking or altering the energy meridian passing through it. It will affect different parts along that meridian, different organ systems in the body. And usually will cause it to have a problem as well.

If the tooth is removed, the energy does tend to pass through it. However, without the tooth in the bone, it is still altered. (Too bad on that, but I'm still happier w/o teeth than metal, xenoestrogens, root canal, cracked and fluorosed teeth in, lol.)

Without stimulation from a tooth, blood circulation and lymphatic drainage will be impaired, and the bone and tissue surrounding the extraction site can become diseased and die. Infections in the teeth, and toxins, have no place to go but down; down into the jaw bone and into the rest of the body, creating systemic pathologies. ...

Of equal interest is the relationship of root filled teeth to traditional Chinese medicine and body energies. ...

There are many reasons why root canal treatments fail, but all of them involve bacterial growth inside the tooth. ...

One dentist who wants the number of root canals performed to plummet ratherthan rise is Dr. Richard Hansen, D.M.D., Director of the Center for Advanced Dentistry in Fullerton, California. Dr. Hansen is recognized as one of the world's foremost experts on laser dentistry. The latest generation of laser equipment and techniques affords people an option to avoid conventionalroot canals, repair previously performed dental work, and prevent the needfor root canals in the future. ...
