Why Do Dentists Ignore Gum Disease? It is a Serious Infection 1.5 Inches From Your Brain…..

Got a Gum Disease Issue?  You Are Probably Going to Have to Fix it Yourself…

By David Kennedy DDS

 

This is a continuation of articles that I have written about the dental profession and its apparent inability to move forward and change by using science as a guide to therapy.

Instead they insist in using techniques employed for the last 2000 years. That is because that is how they are trained at American Dental Association accredited schools.  Its traditional but it is wrong.

According to one of those accredited schools, Loma Linda University, gum disease is the most common reason for anyone to lose their teeth in the US. They estimated that over 90% of the adult population has at least some degree of disease. What is so disturbing about this is that the so called disease is actually a chronic infection caused by a number of very virulent anaerobic pathogens. Lets just call them the bad guys. These bad guys live in the juice that surrounds each tooth.

The REALLY BAD Guys…

One of the baddest of the bad guys is the snake looking bug called Treponema_denticola a spirochete. This beast can eat through mucosa, lives on blood parts, burrows into blood vessels and can attack and kill white blood cells. It is not your normal flora but found in the vast majority of gum disease cases.

What is interesting about this bad guy is that DNA testing has traced its precise vectors and we can now say if you have gum disease you most likely got it from your mother, a lover and/or the dog. Yes this bug will live in a dog’s mouth where it also causes tooth loss and even the dog’s premature death. Continue reading Why Do Dentists Ignore Gum Disease?

SWALLOW THIS: Fluoride “Multi-Vitamins, Drops, Tablets” Are Not FDA-Approved, But Are Still Being Sold To American Children

The fluoride fiasco in tablet form– over 40 years of harm

We have all heard the story about how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is there to protect us from unscrupulous pharmaceutical manufacturers.  We also get reminders once in a while that there is a reason for their existence when we hear about candy contaminated with lead or spinach contaminated with bacteria.  I must agree that this all sounds well and good, but there is a fiasco with fluoride, and the FDA is at the center of it.

fluorosis-comp
Fluorosis is a defect of tooth enamel caused by too much fluoride intake during the first 8 years of life. Although fluorosis can be cosmetically treated, the damage to the enamel is permanent.

Fluoride is currently added to the water of approximately 60% of the American population.   It’s also found in dental products such as toothpaste and floss, fillings, cements, sealants, food and beverages, pesticides, and other products, including pharmaceutical drugs such as Prozac and Cipro.  Fluoride has been controversial for decades, and after years of debate, in 2015, the U.S. government finally recommended lowering levels of fluoride in water.   In spite of this recent change (which many decry as not anywhere near enough), fluoride is still being distributed in vitamins, which is something you can help put an end to since no one else seems to be doing much to stop this illegal practice.
