effect of dental cavitations on overall health

I just had an appointment with a Dr. Huggins recommended dentist and he stated I may want to have the cavitations from prior wisdom teeth removal cleaned out because it can be extremely detrimental to one's overall health. Is anyone familiar with this? Is this a legitimate concern or is it a ploy to make money?

Cavitations

Written by Hal A. Huggins, DDS, MS

Found under a series of names, such as NICO (Neuralgia-Inducing Cavitational Osternecrosis)and Alveolar Cavitational Osteopathy, a cavitation is a hole within the upper or lower jaw bone. This hole is roughly the size and shape of the root that once occupied that space in bone, because that was its origin. It is an area of incomplete healing.

When a woman delivers a baby, she must also deliver the afterbirth. When a tooth is delivered, there is an equivalent of the afterbirth. It is called the periodontal ligament. This is a group of fibers, half of which originate within the tooth, and the other half from the bone surrounding the tooth. They blend together and form a hammock-like structure that unites tooth and bone. There is normally no bony attachment between the two.

When a tooth has a root canal, or is in a dying state, bacteria within the tooth produce very strong chemicals that are highly neurotoxic and kill many critical enzymes within the body. When the tooth is removed, and the ligament left in place (normal procedure) these chemicals remain within the ligament and can slowly seep into the body, potentially creating disease states.

If a tooth is removed and the ligament is left in place, a cap of two to three millimeters of bone heals over the top of the socket, leaving a cesspool of these chemicals lining the hole, and sealed within the bone. X-ray has a hard time identifying these areas, for one is taking a picture of a piece of air within bone.

After the tooth is removed, or years later when the cavitation is being cleaned, the walls of the socket must be cut out with a dental burr. Just scraping it out (curetting is the term) pushes the toxins into the lymphatic drainage system, and patients frequently become ill for several days without knowing why.

The procedure of cleaning out a cavitation is simple, just like landing a 747. It is simple when someone knows how to do it. Care must be taken to prevent the toxic materials from getting out of the opened cavitation into the mouth. High suction and saline flushes help to accomplish this. Since this is a problem of chemical toxins and not a bacterial infection generating pus, antibiotics are of little value in the treatment. Sometimes Intravenous Vitamin C is utilized.

According to certain toxicologists, toxic responses can take place just as fast as electrical responses within the body. This may explain why it is not unusual to see a body part that has been responding to the presence of these toxins demonstrate a positive improvement within seconds of the cleaning of a cavitation. Responses within a day or two are common.

Hey CS how credible is dr. Huggins? Didn't he lose his license?

gotta love quackwatch, lol, but it's a good thing. Here is a

In short, I personally don't trust any doctor that still has a license.

big mike - The ADA, (American Depopluation Association), I mean "dental" spent several million dollars to take Dr. Huggin's down.

Why would they spend so much money to do this? Well, Dr. Huggin's himself has a pretty good way to explain it, he says, "Because of Lie-ability."

This problem also ties in with why the CDC (Central for Damage Control), I mean "disease" is that if these governmental officials ever publicly admitted that mercury was unsafe to be placed into the teeth, a internationally recognized neurotoxin so dangerous, that only plutonium is more toxic, would create a liability too insurmountable to comprehend.

These days there is absolutely no question to the danger of mercury placed into the teeth.

This is all much of the same deal with many who rock the boat:

First it is ridiculed,

Then it is violently opposed,

Then it becomes self evident as fact.

All of the pioneers of medicine that have treated outside the toxic box have been vilified by government crooks.

I bet most things discussed o quack watch are legitimate, although haven't checked lately.

We can break it down to common sense and plain language, something rare when discussing medicine. You have an appendix that is inflamed. Instead of operating on the appendix, it is allowed to remain. Slowly the appendix decays until rupturing, which releases toxins that eventually kill you.

Now transfer that scenario to teeth and root canals. Dentists never inform patients about the difficulty in removing every bit of nerve root. Even a tiny fraction could slowly rot inside the mouth and releasestoxins into your system.

Common sense tells us that anything physically rotting inside of the body is a path to slow cellular death and disease. My advice is to floss and brush your teeth regularly, especially your upper palate and tongue. Never get to root canal stage.

That would make a great quote.

For tooth health check out Oil pulling.

I have also added xylitol sweetener, gum and mints into my dialy routine.

Also strontium has been shown to help remineralize teeth.

Also check out calcium sodium phosphosilicate toothpastes - supposedly helps remineralize teeth as well.

Burt's bees has a toothpaste with calcium sodium phosphosilicate and xylitol.
