I cannot believe what has just happened to me my front tooth has just broken right at the gum. I am devestated, I am to terrified to go to the dentist as I am petrified of a reaction to the injection what ever am I going to do?

I am crying like a baby as I write this,WHAT A BABY AYE?

Dear Rogene and Patty,

I am so sorry to sound such a whimp, Rogene you have so much more to deal with than a broken tooth which you manage with such a positive strong attitude, I cry like a baby over a tooth.

I didn't even notice it had gone, I was just eating my tea and I felt a gap the tooth has gone I must have swallowed it (that really upset me). I feel as though I cannot even face my hubby who works nights and is not home yet.

I have not been to the dentist in a long long time, the last time I went I had to have a tooth pulled, the injections wouldn't numb it and I needed about seven shots, I then had to take anti biotics after as I had some kind of infection.

I have just got the dizziness under control, I see my osteopath twice weekly at the moment to try and keep it under control, he says its because my neck gets locked.

Do we have any info on file that I can show my dentist?

Love Sue.

Sue,

I know you feel terrible . . . A front tooth! . . .

Hopefully your doctor can put in a temporary tooth

real fast!

Dr. Lykissa can tell a lot about your health by

analyzing a tooth, or part of a tooth. . . Please

consider sending the tooth to him.

Also, please call your dentist and tell him/her about

your concerns. I'm sure they can find a way to remove

the root without making you sick. You definitely to

have your dental health evaluated so you don't lose

more teeth.

Hugs,

Rogene

My dear Sue!

I am so sorry to hear this....how upsetting that would be! How did it

break? I know that is a real dilemma to be in....I have no idea what

I would do if my tooth broke. We have a woman in our Bible study

whose front capped tooth broke off after a test at a doctors' office

that put a tube down her throat...and they refused to take

responsibility for it! She is going through treatment right now for a

dental implant. She is having a very rough time of it, as her Xrays

are showing bone loss there. It's very devastating.

Sue, you do need to have it taken care of....you may have several

options for numbing, but please don't fear a reaction to the

injection. If you do have any type of reaction, I am betting that it

will be temporary or minimal. You may be able to use something like

laughing gas (I've never had this though, and I am not sure what it

is?) Lea's freezing gel sounds like a good idea. And I am pretty sure

that there are ways to use acupuncture. I heard of cases in China

where heart surgery was performed with only acupuncture! Unbelievable

but true! So, maybe there is a way to avoid the chemicals after all.

You are going to have several options for replacement, such as crown,

bridge, partial, or dental implant. You will have to weigh all these

options and decide what will work best for you. I know the woman in

my group has worn a partial for a period of time, but she wants the

permanent dental implant now instead. Those are so expensive and in my

opinion, a little risky for those who are sensitive to dental

materials. You may want to have some testing done to see what

materials you may be compatible with for use in your mouth.

OH, Sue, I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. I know this

was the last thing you needed on top of your other health concerns.

Try to stay calm and comforted that this is not the end of the world

for you....just another trial to be endured and once it is over, it's

over and life will go on. You'll get through it. There will be the

right answers. Please let us know what happens when you see your

dentist!

Love,

Patty

Sue,

I don't recall any files on dental problems . . .

they're mostly anedotal from messages to the group.

There's enough for me to believe there is a problem.

Patty has been doing a lot of research into dental

matters for her own problem. . .perhaps she has

something.

One good bit of news . . . I've been there with the

numerous shots for dental work . . . That happened

only once. More recently, I don't have a problem.

After my dental ordeal last fall/early winter, I wish

I had been much nore diligent in my dental care. I had

no idea how much trouble I was getting into, or how

painful it would be to correct. Personally, I think it

was the stress of the dental procedures and the

constant mouth pain that brought on the breast cancer!

What I do know is that, if the dentist anticipates

problems, they can make procedures much easier than

they used to be. . . However, it will probably cost

more!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

I don't know if this applies, but I just had a tooth crack in half

and underneath it was full of decay. My dentist said it was VERY

unusual to see such tooth decay at my age (45).

Cherie,

What was the treatment for your tooth?

I remember some other women writing on the group and mentioning the

fact that they had teeth decaying from the inside out, instead of the

other way around. I remember them posting about how the dentist said

that was so unusual.

I want to find out what the connection is between our implants and our

dental issues! Something is not right if we have strange decay, and

crumbling teeth!

I have no idea how helpful the Huggins Clinic is going to be...I just

sent off my test materials today. I should have some answers fairly

soon.

The bad teeth are associated with Sjogren's Syndrome, dry eyes, dry

mouth, dry nose, dry skin, etc. along with other symptoms. Many

women with Sjogren's-like problems from implants have bad

teeth. Other auto-immune diseases may be related also, but I have

heard over and over of the correlation with Sjogren's.

That is another strange connection isn't it. He is going to prepare

the tooth for a crown. I'll bet there is something wrong with

crowns too, but what are we supposed to do?

Please share what you find out!

Crowns are actually okay. Just try to use a biocompatible dental

material, and do not get a metal base.
