(1) Dental Infections can change Blood changes
By Dr. George Meining,D.D.S.,
In undertaking his studies, Dr. Price felt it would be of help
to learn of any research disclosing what happens to a patient's
blood when a dental infection is present. Sadly, he could find
little in dental or medical literature, nor were his learned
advisors able to furnish any information as to the impact of
dental infections on human blood.
In order to better understand what happens to patients and
rabbits when infected by oral pathologic bacteria, Dr.price
jumped right in and studied that problem with his usual
thoroughness.
He made blood studies of patientss suffering from dental
infections and found the number of polymorphonuclear
leukocytes (a form of white blood cell which have nuclei
with a variety of forms) was less than the normal average.
At the same time, he noted the number of small lymphocytes
(white blood cells formed in lymph tissue) increased.
He also noted these changes returned to normal levels when
the dental infection was removed.
In studying rabbits after infected teeth were implanted
under their skin,he found blood changes occurred in these
animals in the same way. That is,polymorphonuclear white
blood cells decreased 33 percent in number from their
normal lever, and lymphocytes increased by 58 percent.
Slight changes were produced in the number of mature red
cells(erythrocytes): in some cases these decreased,
in others they increased.
The amounts of hemoglobin in the rabbits changed very
little. In some it stayed the same and in
others the
amount present was reduced slightly. Hemoglobin is the
red protein found inside of red blood cells that is
responsible for the red color of blood.
A common occurrence is lymphocytosis. This is an increase
in the number of lymphocyte, a form of white blood cell
formed in lymphoid tissue throught the body.
