  • The Largest Variety of Organisms Inhabiting in The Mouths of People was the Streptococcus Family
    One of these species of microscopic travelers in our bloodstream would find some organ or tissue of the body an ideal place to set up housekeeping. The sexual proclivity, by which they divide and multiply, allows them to dominate the world in which they reside and makes for some severe illness situations.
  • The Spirochete and Other Organisms in the Mouth
    Compared to streptococcal infections, spirochetes are represented in only a small percent of the total number of dental infections. Even less involved, but nevertheless significant to patients when they occur, are infections from parasites.
  • The Spirochetes can be more Significant to Patients than Streptococcus Bacteria in Dental Infection
    Compared to streptococcal infections, spirochetes are represented in only a small percent of the total number of dental infections. Even less involved, but nevertheless significant to patients when they occur, are infections from parasites.
  • The Role of Ionic Calcium in Our Human Body Function
    Of all the numerous investigations made by Dr. Price, the one which produced the most confusion and required the most research time was his investigation into the role of calcium.
  • How Much is Enough Calcium in Our Body Function?
    He showed that in order for us to utilize 10 mg of calcium, there has to be 4 mg of phosphorus present in the blood. Any amount less or more than 4 mg would contribute to body degeneration
  • Low and High Calcium Levels and List of Calcium function in our Body.
    When patients have a liberal loss of bone from dental infections, they will generally have a high ionic calcium level in the blood. People who have freedom from tooth decay generally have an ionic calcium level of the blood that is normal or above normal.
  • Our Mouth - A Barometer of Health
    Our Mouth - A Barometer of Health Some time ago you wrote about the dentists' position in nutrition. I'm still a bit puzzled about your suggestions that involve other parts of the body than teeth. The things you write about seem okay but I guess I want to be more confident about it. S.S.
  • Periodontal gum Problem May Seem to Have Little Relevance to The Side Effects of Root Canal Therapy.
    This is of interest,as dentists seldom find teeth decaying,in periodontal pockets at the time the disease is active. The softening of the cementum and dentin which sometimes occurs in these areas is often mistaken for caries,but this a different phenomenon.
  • Pregnancy - Lactation and Motherhood in Weakened Immune System with Tooth Infections.
    Pregnancy -Lactation and Motherhood. Among those we considered not susceptible to illness, the percentage of men and women is quite evenly divided. As susceptibility increases,this changes from 50-50 to 93 percent of female having strong inheritance factors and only seven percent for males.
  • Grief and Worry with Expose can Develop more Severe Diseases.
    Grief and Worry: We all know of individuals who were so grief stricken at the death of a loved one they also died a short time later. Just a year ago,I experienced such a situation. Two wealthy,spinster neighbors were inseparable.
  • When Infected Teeth Produce Disturbance in Other Parts of the Body.
    We are all aware that organisms which produce disease vary greatly in the amount and severity of their virulence. Because teeth are relatively small,it is also generally believed that when a tooth has a properly treated root canal filling,it is impossible for an infection therefrom to overwhelm the patient.
  • Deficient Diets Brought Degenerative Diseases Including Dental Infections.
    Nutrition - Hunger Any machine we use is dependent upon fuel to operate. Likewise,well-being is dependent on the nature,quantity, and quality of the foods people consume. However,it is increasingly clear the average person thinks that whatever is put into the body through the mouth will adequately feed the body.
  • The Degenerative Diseases and Focal Infections.
    Quite often Price referred to the high number of "rheumatic group lesions" which resulted from dental infections. That terminology produced some confusion as it placed extreme emphasis on rheumatism and arthritis.
  • The Causes of Sick Gums and Pyorrhea.
    Like the majority of diseases, Pyorrhea has several causes that work together to create degenerative tissue breakdown. Lack of Vitamin C is just one of the causes of sick gums. More important is your balance of minerals. There has been so much emphasis placed on vitamins in recent years that most people forget our need of minerals is often more vital.
  • Cures for Cold Sores.
    Your question came in on the same day a similar one was addressed to Dr. Lamb and published in his nationally syndicated column. The headline for his article that day was “Mouth Ulcer Cure Unknown.”
  • Sores of Corners of Mouth.
    Dear L.He.: one of my first articles was about cold sores and their successful treatment. Most physicians are not aware of the research that governed the treatment plan I followed but there is a new approach that has received a fair amount of publicity. Dr.Gott has evidently not heard about it.
  • Popping Jaws Are Miserable - The "TMJ" Syndrome.
    When bone shrinks under your dentures the plate settles down and presses into the soft gums causing sore spots such as you have been experiencing. This also infringes on facial and lip muscles and these force the teeth to wobble, loosen, and clack.
  • Lost Sense of Taste and Case of Grey Teeth.
    My child's teeth have come in very dark grey. Our dentist says it is from medication. Can you enlighten me about it? Will the discoloration go away? This is usually due to the antibiotic tetrocycline. The drug causes a change in tooth and bone browth during the time it is used
  • A Day in the Life of Germ -Harmful Bacteria.
    Food eaten at dinner and before bedtime can also be responsible. Despite, cookies, cake and such starchy food along with milk and ice cream tend to breed harmful bacteria
  • Fluoride-Enzyme Poisoner for Dental Health.
    When the teeth of fluorine-treated individuals are examined chemically they are found to be composed of calcium fluoride instead of calcium carbonate. It is commonly said fluorine makes the tooth harder. This is utterly false. It actually makes the tooth softer. It doesn't decay as readily because calcium fluoride is less soluble to acids than is calcium carbonate and decay starts in an acid environment.
  • Validity of Focal Infection Theory
    The most successful determining medicaments and germicidal rinses-those which prevented bacteremias to the highest degree - were summarized and reported by I.B. Bander,D.D.S. and Steve Montgomery,D.D.S., in the Journal of Endodontics.
  • When Tooth Loses Its Blood Supply, The Pulp Tissue Dies Off for Lack of Nourishment.
    Note how small the diameter of the root canal is at the end of the root of the tooth and then visualize an artery, vein and nerve all entering the tooth at that point. You can readily see how a blow to the mouth or teeth could cause blood vessels to be severed. When that happens, the severed artery cannot heal together fast enough to maintain blood circulation within the tooth.
  • Focal Infection Theory Supported by Other Medical Doctors.
    Research about endondontic treatment since that time has been extensive and, for the most part, corroborates Dr.Price's discoveries. At the same time, Price's questions continue to add new dimensions to understanding problems inherent in the dental profession's effort to save teeth and keep people healthy.
