One of the first questions I ask any new client is “Can you please tell me about your dental history?”
Why? Most doctors (and dentists) never consider the impact of teeth on your overall health.
It’s quite amazing that well over 90% of people with cancer have had a root canal! Amalgam fillings are another major concern.
I highly recommend you work with a holistic dentist – to find one near you, visit www.iaomt.org
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- The Academy of General Dentistry reports at least 40 million suffer from sensitive teeth resulting from irritants reaching nerve endings through a tube system in the dentin of your teeth
- This dental anatomy was described by Dr. Weston Price in the early 1900s when he found anaerobic bacterial growth in these tubes were infecting teeth and gums and traveling throughout the body
- Price was able to link the spread of bacteria to chronic diseases, including heart disease, arthritis and neurological conditions; he also linked the growth of bacteria to a refined food diet
- Root canals leave dead teeth in your mouth, which ultimately become infected, just as any dead part of the body does. These bacteria can circulate through your body as your blood and lymphatic systems drain toxins from the area
- One step toward achieving good oral health is to integrate holistic and preventive nutritional and oral health strategies to support your oral microbiome and to seek the care of a biological dentist
