[00:15] Although I'd suspected it for a long time, it took a lot of work and a lot of money to find out I had multiple dental infections. For some people, this could be a huge contributor to their symptoms, and seems to be generally overlooked - especially by dentists. [00:52] Root canals While researching chronic diseases I kept hearing about the dangers of root canals and until recently I ignored what I'd heard (specifically because my teeth were free of pain and discomfort). I had a root canal around 6 years ago and from what I remember it went very well and I had no problems after the surgery. I recently decided I wanted to be completely sure it wasn't infected so I traveled far away to a dentist who specializes in root canal extractions. After the initial visit I was told that the root canal looked perfect on the scans and that there was no sign of infection. A few months later I decided I wanted a second opinion. They performed a scan and found a massive infection around the root canal. Why would one dentist not find anything and another easily find the infection? Because this one used 3D technology. They were able to visually scan all areas of my jaw in three dimensions which easily shows them precisely where the infected areas are. [03:42] Wisdom teeth Approximately 15 years ago I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. Since that leaves behind 4 big holes I wanted to make sure that those holes weren't infected too. I asked for the 3D scan to extend further back and include my wisdom tooth extraction sites. From that scan they found that the bottom two holes were infected but that the top two had no sign of infection. [05:03] Surgery Once the root canal material was removed, they found a large cyst (a periapical cyst). The infection had almost entered my sinus cavity and there was barely anything separating the two. Before the surgery my dentist had taken many tubes of my blood to make a PRF which is basically a byproduct of blood that's high in platelets. After using ozone to kill any leftover bacteria, they inserted the PRF material into the holes. They also inserted an allograft. [08:45] Biocompatibility I had a biocompatibility blood test done well before the surgery took place and they used that test to make sure the materials they use were compatible with my body. They'll also use the test results when picking out the material for the implant that will take the place of my missing tooth where I had the root canal. [09:52] Mercury Everything I've mentioned so far can pale in comparison to someone suffering from mercury poisoning. During this whole process I learned that one of my fillings was a mercury amalgam and I had it removed. I imagine that everyone by now knows the dangers of mercury and that it's one of the most toxic substances on earth for humans. Most dental associations won't admit this and it's still commonly used in filling materials. [11:17] Meridians I'll link below to a meridian tooth chart showing how chronic problems in any part of the body can potentially be the result of a dental issue. [12:00] Conclusion I only recently had my dental work done so I can't comment on any changes it's made to my health. If you're thinking that you'd like to look into this further, here are my suggestions: - Learn about the dangers of root canals and poor dental practices online. I'll add links to radio interviews and websites that I found helpful below. I'll also link to the dental office I used. - Don't bother talking to a standard dentist. It's similar to talking to a GP about Lyme. 99% of the time you'll get nowhere. - Start by visiting IAOMT.org where you'll find dentists near you who at least understand the dangers of mercury. - Search for reviews or testimonials online. - Contact the dentist and find out if they use 3D technology, if they take precautions such as using rubber dams and ventilation when removing mercury amalgams, if they use ozone, if they test for biocompatibility, and so on. - Consider the possibility that you may have to travel very far to get the right help. - Consider staying in a hotel near the dentist's office the night after your surgery. - Anticipate a very expensive quote for the treatment. After adding up all the costs, my dental work will be closer to $10,000. - Mentally prepare for the possibility that your dental issues were not the primary cause of your medical issues.
