Chronic Health
Conditions Related to Dental Health and Dental Procedures
Medical studies and
clinical results have found that many chronic, degenerative, health conditions
are dental related (there are also other causes and effects are cumulative and
synergistic). The main causes include mercury (from
amalgam fillings) and infections from root-canaled teeth (most
are infected) and from cavitations (chronically
infected tooth extractions sites or root-canal sites), as well as gingivitis and periodontitis(infected
gums). Oral infections have
been found to be factors in cardiovascular disease, heart conditions, stroke,
arthritis, etc. Extremely high levels of mercury have been found to accumulate
in the gums, oral mucosa, and saliva of those with amalgam
fillings or metal crowns over amalgam- causing chronic oral conditions and
distribution of mercury to all organs of the body through the blood. Mercury, root-canaled teeth, and cavitations
are common causes of chronic conditions (documentation below), and most with
many chronic conditions like CFS, Fibromyalgia, MS, depression , oral
conditions, etc. recover when they deal with which ever of these is affecting them. The
majority (over 50%) of wisdom tooth extraction sites have cavitations-
which can be extremely toxic systemically and cause disabling conditions like
cancer, CFS, MS, ALS, Parkinson’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis, cardiovascular disease,
etc. The majority of root canaled teeth likewise
accumulate bacteria and become toxic over time, causing the same kinds of
conditions. Dental amalgam is the largest source of mercury
in most people with mercury amalgam fillings, and some of the mercury is
organic since oral bacteria methylate the inorganic mercury. Exposure to EMF or Wi-fi increases exposure
from amalgams and increase chronic damage. Most with several amalgam
dental fillings or metal crowns over amalgam get mercury exposure above the
government health guidelines and are affected over time, which commonly causes
or is a major factor in such conditions. Some are more susceptible than
others and are more seriously affected or sooner affected, but all who have
them are affected to some measurable degree by these over
time. Tests are now available for measuring
exposure and effects such as immune reactivity, metabolic effects, enzymatic
blockages, improperly functioning detox pathways,
etc. that are factors in these conditions.
In surgical clinical trials of FDA and medical school,
approximately 80% of wisdom tooth extraction sites were found to have cavitations(the
population tested may not be exactly the same as the general population but was
a large population). Likewise, FDA clinical trials by the Cavitat found similar numbers, with follow-up surgical
treatment. Most such sites have cavitations- which
can cause serious health effects not commonly diagnosed as to the real cause.
The sites are locally relatively pain-free in many cases, but there are major
systemic effects from bacterial toxins and infection. They can also cause major pain(NICO). Treatment options include surgery, sanum therapy via stabadent,
photon lumen(LED) or low level laser treatment (www.lumenphoton.com/ )
Bioassay tests at the dental labs of Dr. Haley(www.altcorp.com)
and Dr. Bouquet find similar high toxicity and effects in root canaled teeth,
which also are commonly found to have cavitations by
methods above. Years of research by Dr. Westin Price(dental
association researcher) and prominent doctors documented the same thing.
Thousands of people who have had cavitation surgery or proper
extraction of root canaled teeth have recovered from disabling chronic
conditions such as the above.
DAMS, a national patients support organization with coordinators
in most states, works with thousands of disabled and chronically ill
people each year and have compiled many thousands of cases of recovery from
over 40 major chronic conditions after proper diagnosis and
treatment for mercury toxicity, root canal toxicity, or cavitation toxicity.
Over 50,000 clinical cases of recovery are documented in the first
web site paper, and we and the other sources have many hundreds of cases of
documented recoveries from disabling conditions after dealing with root canaled
teeth and cavitations. Any of the several oral
surgeons we interact with dealing with cavitations or
root canaled teeth have had large numbers of cases of recovery from chronic or
disabling conditions after treatment. Bob Jones, who invented the cavitat, recovered from ALS after cavitation surgery,
and we know of many other cases of recovery from such conditions in people DAMS
has worked with.
This is all well documented in the medical and dental literature-
thousands of peer reviewed studies and tens of thousands of clinical cases
document the case. For those interested in documentation see:

These hidden areas can
be dangerous breeding grounds for bacteria. But, with laser disinfection,
calcified dentin tubules, cavitational microsurgery,
and restoring the bone's lymphatic and circulatory health they can sometimes be
resolved without more drastic extraction or surgery.

Dentistry has far reaching health effects on most
people. I have repeatedly seen
this experience in symptoms of my patients; with root canals, cavitations, toxins from gingivalcervicular fluid, metal and metal
oxide in composites, and dental restorations.
