Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Funny, I was just thinking about my teeth yesterday and wondering when I would get to tell my dental woes, ha. 4 1/2 years ago when I became very disabled from MCS I was at a critical point with some of my teeth that needed dental work. I had a bridge (lower left) that had never been permanently cemented in (long story) and the temporary cement was already over a year old, and I had a tooth on the upper right that had a big hole in it from losing a filling. It was an awful food trap and my gum would hurt very painfully when I ate. I had to stop and floss out the food regularly throughout the meal or stop chewing on that side. Since I was completely bedridden and my nerves were in terrible condtion and I couldn't tolerate any meds I couldn't get any of that work done. About 2 years later I thought I might finally be able to get those things looked at. I had been having pain on and off in one of the teeth under the bridge and felt what I thought was food squishing in and loosening that side. The hole on the other side of my mouth became increasingly larger and another hole developed in the tooth next to it, two food traps! LOTS of ongoing flossing. So just as I think I can finally get some dental work done and I even find a dentist who takes medi-cal (still paid for dental back then) AND makes house calls (wow! how was that possible!) I got poisoned from dye and became more mcs than ever and unable to move from the bed for several months except to go to the bathroom. My nerves reacted just if people raised their voice or a car pulled up in the driveway. Then as I'm recovering I get sick bad from mold and remain unable to tolerate meds up until now. Last summer, 2 years from the dye episode, I started getting an abscess in that tooth that would hurt on and off. Sometimes after taking protocols it would get really swollen and a couple of times my cheek would swell too really big. Then about 2 or 3 months after that the bridge fell off. So now I can't chew on the left side of my mouth and have an abscess there, I have two huge holes and food traps in teeth on the right side of my mouth and on top of all of that for the last 2 months I often can't chew at all for days at a time after I take certain of my protocols. Sometimes the whole right side of my upper and lower jaw and the teeth can send a shockwave through my body just from the teeth touching and the pain can radiate up my face into my temple. My poor mouth and teeth are in a deplorable state of affairs and I can't do anything about it. That's my teeth story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I have been having problems with my teeth for a while. it seems mygums have receded, there is pain when chewing, hot and cold sensitvity, etc. I recently also had a hair analysis done. It showed uranium, thorium, aluminum, etc. uranium is able to replace calcium in bones. And my calcium was extremely low. Is that a connection? Sometimes I have a dream that all my teeth fall out! I am using peroxide to brush my teeth with now. I can't stand paste and use baking soda sometimes. I think the peroxide has helped but I am in fear. I have spent a ton of money saving bad teeth neglected from childhood. I am also increasing calcium jist in case. Meredithh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I got some wonderful advice from my dental hygenist quite a few years ago. She told me to buy the cheapest Soniccare toothbrush and the cheapest, original Waterpik. Since using those, my gum health has been stellar. I also use Therabreath, which is a non-alcoholic mouthwash that kills anerobic bacteria. For most of the last several years I used a different one, Smart Mouth, but found it contained sodium chlorite and decided I didn't want to be in contact with that every day. However, use of that mouthwash completely got rid of my heat and cold sensitivity, and made trips to the hygenist untraumatic. I highly recommend all of those for people who are having gum troubles. I haven't flossed in years becasue the waterpik does a better job. Well, ok, I do floss under two circumstances: one, when something gets stuck and I can't get it out, and two, if I am going to the dentist from work and have eaten, I'll floss before I go.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I went on an elimination diet and added some healthy items that I don't normally eat. My gums were painful! My dentist felt there was something causing a reaction in my diet. It turned out it was the flax I added (fiber in place of gluten I eliminated). I eliminated the flax and the gum pain went away. I didn't have any " traditional " allergy symptoms, just the painful gums. It might be a reaction to something you are eating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 The washes that kill bacteria tend to be very, very acidic (PH of 3)--that's as bad as a Mountain Dew. Acid demineralizes teeth. If you don't have dry mouth and you swish briefly, it should be okay because the saliva remineralizes your teeth. If you have dry mouth, like I do, acid attacks can be very bad. PH test strips are widely available--and very eye opening! Tom's Mouthwash with xylitol is very alkaline but seems to do the same job as the acidic washes. Xylitol has been found to kill one of the two kinds of bacteria that are most destructive.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I brush and wash my mouth out with peroxide to kill bacteria. I think that brushing with baking soda helps reducce acidity so I also use that. It is the only thing my dad ever used and he had his teeth till 87 when he died. My biggest problem is gums receding.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Wwe are near the Mexian border below Blythe. Many snowbirds come there and see the doctor and dentist and get glasses in the winter. Glasses run about $150. Dental is very cheap too and many things can be had by prescription from your doctor or theirs. An inhaler for example is $5. You may think of pooling your sources to get a camper or motorhome and go stay at a campsite and be a snowbird. Of ourse you can go anytime but it gets over 110 there. I have friends who have had all crowns done for really cheap and they look good. Some doctors have offices in the US also. Meredith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I went to the dentist, after she took a look at the x-rays she said she couldnt see anything but most of the tooth was covered by a cap from the bridge but what little the x-ray showed there wasn't a cavity. She went on and told me with all the poking and prodding she did she felt the tooth at the time was " clinically " fine and if it were her tooth she wouldn't do a thing to it. She did say that even though I took such good care of my teeth and gums my gums were swollen in that area and there was something definitely going on back there but because of my exposure she didn't feel it was safe to give me an antibiotic. I just brushed my teeth and there's definitely a sensative spot on the tooth but beings it's the weekend I'll have to live with it till Monday. Neither the cold or heat bother the tooth but every once in awhile I get a sharp stabbing pain so I'm almost positive there's a cavity but beings the tooth is an anchor for the bridge I'm going to live with it for as long as possible and hopefully the pain will go away on it's own (not) Thanks Tug > > I take extremely good care of my teeth, I brush them twice a day and floss every night before I go to bed but for the 3 months Ive had tooth and gum pain and it always happens to the teeth in the back of my mouth.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Tug: Have you ever been diagnosed with vasculitis? Dr. Rea says almost all moldies suffer from toxic vasculitis. I have the same pain in my teeth now, and no dentist can find anything wrong with the one that is really hurting. After much research, I found that you can have vasculitis in your teeth. It is like nerve pain, I get it also in my extremitites at times. It also is to blame for the hypercoagulation that I posted about a few days back. Just a thought..google it and see what you think~ Diane > > I went to the dentist, after she took a look at the x-rays she said she couldnt see anything but most of the tooth was covered by a cap from the bridge but what little the x-ray showed there wasn't a cavity.
