| It All Starts With Tiny Cavity, It is a Whole Body Disease, Not a Local one. - By Dr. George Meinig, D.D.S. |
|
 |
To prevent the need for root canal treatments, one
must remember that every case needing a root fill,
other than those involving injury, started with a
tiny bit of tooth decay. |
|
Why do some people's teeth decay and some do not?
That question was central to Dr. Price's enquiry. |
|
Those feelings led him to conduct thousands of
blood and saliva experiments on humans and animals,
which brought forth many insights into the reasons
teeth become carious. Unfortunately, much of this
data was buried right along with his root infection
discoveries because of disputes over the focal
infection theory. |
|
The two main discoveries regarding the causes of
tooth decay were (1) the changing of the acid-base
balance of the saliva from its normal alkaline
status to one of acidity, and (2) the lowering of
the ionic calcium levels in both the blood and the
saliva. |
|
Since Dr. Price's time, these two factors were
rediscovered by Harold Hawkins, D.D.S., Melvin Page,
D.D.S., Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., D.M.D., and others. |
|
Acidity of the saliva and lower calcium values resulting
from the ingestion of white flour products, sugar,
refined grain, and related products is still not
fully understood by the average dentist. |
|
Unfortunately, the dental and medical professions, in
pushing the use of flourine in the prevention of caries,
have failed to see that the process of tooth decay is
a systemic, whole-body problem - not a local one. |
|
Dentists and physicians have failed to see that systemic
health problems are compounded because children and
adults who use flourine feel they are protected, and
that sweets and refined foods therefore won't hurt their
teeth. Furthermore, harmful systemic effects which
involve parts of the body other than the mouth are seldom considered. |
|
These factors relate to the unexpected finds that people
who have tooth decay are also more susceptible to other
degenerative disease. |
