Sung Lee, and George Meinig D.D.S's Articles in Conditions

  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.”
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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 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.
