They represent a stress on the immune system that can manifest in many ways throughout the body. If a root canal is the only treatment available to save a tooth, you will be educated about what a root canal is, and the possible consequences of living with the root canalled tooth. If you have a healthy diet and lifestyle and a strong immune system, you may be able to tolerate keeping a tooth that has been root canalled. But you need to know that a root canalled tooth that is currently being tolerated may become intolerable in the future due to age, illness, or breakdown of the root canal materials.
A full discussion about your medical history as well as an EAV Assessment can often be great aids in making the decision to keep or extract a root canalled tooth. The Meridian Tooth Chart is a helpful tool to understand the direct relationship between our teeth and the systems in our bodies. Just realized as I am driving home from work tonight that every bit of inflammation and pain in my finger joints is gone.
It has been years since I could make a tight fist. Price undertook his investigations in He continued until , and published his work in two volumes in In the National Dental Association which changed its name a few years later to The American Dental Association was so impressed with his work that they appointed Dr.
Price their first Research Director. They represented the fields of bacteriology, pathology, rheumatology, surgery, chemistry, and cardiology. At one point in his writings Dr. Frank Billings M. GM: This states that germs from a central focal infection — such as your teeth, teeth roots, inflamed gum tissues, or maybe tonsils — metastasize to hearts, eyes, lungs, kidneys, or other organs, glands and tissues, establishing new areas of the same infection.
Hardly theory any more, this has been proven and demonstrated many times over. Well, yes and no. In the case of root-filled teeth, the no longer-living tooth lacks a blood supply to its interior. GM : Yes. No matter what material or technique is used — and this is just as true today — the root filling shrinks minutely, perhaps microscopically.
Further and this is key — the bulk of solid appearing teeth, called the dentin, actually consists of miles of tiny tubules. Microscopic organisms lurking in the maze of tubules simply migrate into the interior of the tooth and set up housekeeping. A filled root seems to be a favorite spot to start a new colony. One of the things that makes this difficult to understand is that large, relatively harmless bacteria common to the mouth, change and adapt to new conditions.
They shrink in size to fit the cramped quarters and even learn how to exist and thrive! Those that need oxygen mutate and become able to get along without it. Both isolated in root canals the same strains of streptococcus, staphylococcus and spirochetes.
GM: No. We believe now that every root canal filling does leak and bacteria do invade the structure. Some healthy people are able to control the germs that escape from their teeth into other areas of the body. In other words, they are able to prevent those new colonies from taking hold in other tissues throughout the body. GM: I know. Physicians and dentists have that same problem, too. You really have to visualize the tooth structure — all of those microscopic tubules running through the dentin.
In a healthy tooth, those tubules transport a fluid that carries nourishment to the inside. A root filled tooth no longer has any fluid circulating through it, but the maze of tubules remains.
The anaerobic bacteria that live there seem remarkably safe from antibiotics. The new location can be any organ or gland or tissue, and the new colony will be the next focus of infection in a body plagued by recurrent or chronic infections.
GM: Yes. He removed an infected tooth from a woman who suffered from severe arthritis. As soon as he finished with the patient, he implanted the tooth beneath the skin of a healthy rabbit. Within 48 hours the rabbit was crippled with arthritis! Price had a sense that, even when root canal therapy appeared successful, teeth containing root fillings remained infected.
That thought kept prying on his mind, haunting him each time a patient consulted him for relief from some severe debilitating disease for which the medical profession could find no answer. Then one day while treating a woman who had been confined to a wheelchair for six years from severe arthritis, he recalled how bacterial cultures were taken from patients who were ill and then inoculated into animals in an effort to reproduce the disease and test the effectiveness of drugs on the disease.
With this thought in mind, although her root filled tooth looked fine, he advised this arthritic patient, to have it extracted. He told her he was going to find out what it was about this root filled tooth that was responsible for her suffering. However, in this case, all of her teeth appeared in satisfactory condition and the one containing this root canal filling showed no evidence or symptoms of infection.
Besides, it looked normal on x-ray pictures. Price extracted the tooth he dismissed the patient and embedded her tooth under the skin of a rabbit. In two days the rabbit developed the same kind of crippling arthritis as the patient — and in ten days it died.
She could then walk without a cane and could even do fine needlework again. That success led Dr. Price to advise other patients, afflicted with a wide variety of treatment defying illnesses, to have any root filled teeth out.
In the years that followed, he repeated this procedure many hundreds of times. He later implanted only a portion of the tooth to see if that produced the same results. It did. He then dried the tooth, ground it into powder and injected a tiny bit into several rabbits.
Same results, this time producing the same symptoms in multiple animals. Price eventually grew cultures of the bacteria and injected them into the animals. Then he went a step further. He put the solution containing the bacteria through a filter small enough to catch the bacteria. So when he injected the resulting liquid it was free of any infecting bacteria. Did the test animals develop the illness? The only explanation was that the liquid had to contain toxins from the bacteria, and the toxins were also capable of causing disease.
Price became curious about which was the more potent infective agent, the bacteria or the toxin. He repeated that last experiment, injecting half the animals with the toxin-containing liquid and half of them with the bacteria from the filter. Both groups became ill, but the group injected with the toxins got sicker and died sooner than the bacteria injected animals. Did the rabbits always develop the same disease the patient had? GM: Mostly, yes. If the damage is severe enough, Dr. Cintron will likely recommend extraction to eliminate the source of infection and then replacement with a natural material that works well with your body.
Dental implants using a biocompatible material such as zirconia are a highly effective way to replace extracted teeth. They look and function just like natural teeth, so you are not restricted in what you can eat, and others will not know that you have an implant.
Dental implants fuse with your jawbone for unparalleled strength and durability and can last for your whole life if you properly care for them with good dental hygiene and maintain regular dental check-ups.
Dental bridges are a common dental restoration that can also return the natural look and function of your tooth. A dental bridge consists of one or more false teeth to replace your missing teeth and then a crown on each side of the replacement teeth that fits on your natural teeth to keep the bridge in place. Yolanda Cintron and the highly qualified staff are experts in restoring the function and beauty of your smile with natural, biocompatible materials and methods that enhance your health rather than harming it.
In a consultation, Dr.
