Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 hi, liz! es, i've had at least 5 root canals done. i've had issues with my teeth all of my life, it's also pretty common with thyroid disease and i'm thyroidless as well as have had a radio active iodine treatment. at 55 i now have a 5-piece bridge, 2 3-piece bridges and am working on an implant of a K9 (which was originally a root-canal tooth). i heard someone once say that her husband could drive a cadillac out of his mouth because of what had been spent on his teeth AND that's about how i feel about my mouth!!! since i began supplementing with iodine, my gums LOOK healthier, no fibrous-puffiness to them now! i am amazed at the physical changes in my body since i began (May of this year) using iodine and a natural thyroid hormone replacement, Armour Thyroid, (instead of synthetic as i've used for the past 30 years). the combination of the two have given me back my life! sincerely, sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 For those of you (like me) that can't afford this, and have Medicare A-B as I do, and do not have any private insurance, White Funding will pay for dental work. I have an appt next week for either a major filling or a crown. My filling fell out some time ago, which was about 1/2 my tooth, so I have a gaping hole there that HURTS at times. Usually, as my ASO said, the initial appt is approved and the dentist provides a treatment plan then does the work.. In my case, since I have lost 1/2 a tooth, he's performing the re-filling or crown and will do x rays, then come up with a total treatment plan for me to be submitted for approval by my ASO. So far I've been approved for $500 just for the one tooth, but more dental work will follow I'm sure. Dothan, AL "If no one could ever see it, would you still buy that Mercedes?"

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 ASO is AIDS Service Organizations To see if you qualify for AIDS Drug Assistance Program in your estate , call the main HIV agency in your city Here is a list http://www.thebody.com/index/hotlines/other.html Every state has different requirement when it comes to how much money you can make. They use the poverty level and multiply it by a factor. California and New York are the best and estates in the south are the worst. You can find out more about ADAPs here http://www.disabilitybenefits101.org/ca/programs/health_coverage/prescription/adap/faqs.htm Many White funded programs include eye care, dental care, and nutritoonal services.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 There are a couple of ways to access White funded dental services. The first and most popular is utilizing funding via Part F of the White Treatment Modernization Act of 2006 (formerly known as the White CARE Act) This funding is designated for dental care provided in University settings. This is the Dental Reimbursement Program. If you are near a University with a Dental School, check to see if they participate. .chances are they do. Here's where you can find a list of this programs: http://hab.hrsa.gov/treatmentmodernization/dental.htm The second way, for those who are not near a dental school, is to check with your local AIDS Service Organization (ASO) to see if they provide funding for you to see a dentist. This type of funding varies greatly from State to State and even among ASOs, so you may have to advocate to get the funding. A great resource for all HIV funded White programs is: http://hab.hrsa.gov/aboutus.htm It is so important that we all realize that the reauthorization was only for 3 years, in hopes of a change in the political affiliation of the current administration. Everyone has to start getting involved if we ever hope to have this Act refunded. If you don't get involved, speak up, vote, advocate. .then don't start crying when there is no money for any services and we are all literally on our own. Ok, I'm off my soapbox now.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Mindy, I had a root canal that led to jaw bone infection (mandibular osteomyelititis) which through me into activated Lyme. My Lyme had been extremely mild (almost dormant) for decades before the root canal. I wish that I never had that root canal! Do not get the root canal!!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Mindy, You will find an almost unanimous opinion among " health care pros " that root canals are safe since they are just quoting what they learned in dentistry school (and even medical school) where erroneous information is passed along to the next generation ad nauseum. I like to compare root canal (and mercury filling) hazards (dentistry) with Lyme disease (medical) - both are conditions that being denied by their respective professions except for the few pioneers out there (biological dentists and LLMDs) who understand the truth. Some people's immune systems can handle the dead and rotting debris that exists inside of a root canal tooth. However, patients with a compromised immune system (such as those with Lyme and cancer,etc), will eventually suffer the consequences of the infected root canal tissue. If you have any teeth extracted, make sure that they obliterate the periodontal ligament (it only takes a few seconds). Otherwise, a cavitation can form and infection can remain. Before making any decisions for yourself, I suggest that you read both sides of the root canal story (and the mercury story). I also suggest that you find a biological dentist so that you can hear the other side. Here are some resources that the your regular dentist will not tell you about... Root Canal Cover-up by Meinig It's All in Your Head by Huggins The Complete Guide to Mercury Toxicity from Dental Fillings by Dentistry Without Mercury by Ziff Elements of Danger - Amalgam Illness - Cutler The Fluoride Deception - Bryson Decide for yourself.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Diane, Either get the root canal and deal with the immune system problems, OR pull the tooth and deal with the missing tooth, bridge or implant. I would read the books that I previously recommended before making a decision. I would also address any underlying issues that have caused her current tooth problem - Lyme, brushing, diet, insufficient saliva, Sjogren's syndrome, etc. It will not help the current tooth, but it may help save future teeth. By the way, xylitol mints are an excellent way to kill off mouth bacteria that cause cavities and increase salivation. You can learn more about them at http://www.autism-in-the-christian-home.com/xylitol-products.html .

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I had to have three root canals done (due to malnutrition from anorexia nervosa) around this time last year. I am doing fantastic and have had no complications from them at all. Everyone is different in how they respond. It looks like you have had a few responses about negative reactions from having root canals while having Lyme, but like I said, I am doing great. I had severe chronic Lyme disease (am just recently to the point where I am symptom free and get to be off of antibiotics! hooray!) and it didn't make things worse for me at all. I was still treating Lyme at the time, but all of the symptoms were starting to ease up and I was less symptomatic overall. Having the root canals didn't cause a flare up at all or anything bad. In fact, because I was on so many antibiotics for the Lyme disease, it helped me so that I didn't have a huge jaw infection. The dentist was amazed at the fact that I had no pain and no swelling or infection. If it wasn't for the antibiotics that I was on at the time I would have been in severe debilitating pain. But the bad thing though was that I didn't know I had anything wrong with my teeth until they literally started crumbling apart. Gross and sad, I know. But that's what you get from a long term eating disorder I guess. Anyway, I know I am probably repeating myself (I am currently on pain meds for a back injury) so I am sorry about that, and I am sorry if I am not making sense. lol Basically, I had no problems... but other people HAVE had flare-ups from dental procedures and other things like surgery or whatever. It just probably depends on how your immune system is doing and maybe if the Lyme is really active in that area of your body? I don't know. I hope you are able to make the best decision for your own particular case and that you are pain free soon. ~ > > Hi > > I had read patients with Lyme should not have root canals.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I haven't been following this thread too closely, but for what it's worth... I had a root canal done about 2 years ago - which is slightly prior to my being tick bitten and contracting lyme. So far I haven't had any complications from whatever is remaining in the tooth cavity (as far as I know). Just thought I should contribute this info.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I have had several root canals with no ill effects. But just taking a survey of a few people will not tell the true story. Probably there are people who suffer ill effects - but will you be one of those? You can't know unless they have figured out who the high risk patients are. I doubt studies have been done. If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to see evidence to the contrary. Phyllis -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I would suggest getting an opinion from a holistic dentist: http://www.holisticdental.org/membersearch If the tooth is "dead" I can't imagine it is safe to leave in that condition because of potential infection that could spread into nearby bone, even the brain, I wouldn't take it lightly. I have one root canal and crown and I am not too worried about it, although after the fact I contacted a holistic dentist after reading Mercola's stuff. He said the only other option is to pull the tooth and put in something called a "pontic". I think it's a mini-bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Every time I get a toothache, or have any gum issues, I use a product called " Tooth and Gum Formula by Dr. Schulze (herbdoc.com). It contains White Oak Bark, Bayberry Root Bark, Tea Tree Oil, Echinacea Angustifolia Root, Habanero Pepper, Peppermint Oil. You swish and rinse as needed and use it daily to keep your teeth healthy. I had a terrible sensitivity problem and it really helped with that. It really works for me, so it may be worth a try for you. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I think I know which tooth it is..and then, it hurts all over. It only hurts at night, around 1 or 2am. Last night, I took sinus medicine and slept like a baby. So, I don't know if it's a dead tooth or not. I went to the Dentist and he put dry ice on the area I'm having problems and he couldn't tell. He thought it might be the tooth that has a crown, and the ice didn't go through...so, he couldn't tell. (But, he said that tooth's problem was close to the nerve.) I'm thinking it's the tooth with the crown. When it hurts, it throbs and keeps me up and it very painful. Thanks for your thoughts/advice. gena > > I would suggest getting an opinion from a holistic dentist: > > http://www.holisticdental.org/membersearch > > If the tooth is " dead " I can't imagine it is safe to leave in that condition > because of potential infection that could spread into nearby bone, even the > brain, I wouldn't take it lightly.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 And some have fillings and root canals and heal from cancer. I did and I still have my fillings and root canals. Personally, I believe that the body has a toxic threshold (everyone's is different). Once that threshold is reached the body begins to breakdown and as a result we begin to see degenerative disease including cancer. But there is no one specific cause of cancer especially since we live in a very toxic society. Just as there is no magic bullet (conventionally or naturally) that provides healing from cancer. And from what I have observed personally and clinically, body, mind and spirit must be addressed in order for the body to heal completely. Most, even in natural medicine, concentrate on the body and forget about or refuse to work on the mind and spirit. Or they recognize it in a very minimal way -- I suggest that it should be just as important as what is done physically.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi, The case may be so, but the case appears to be that the deep gum and bone infections can be taken out by Godzila. I have thrown a lot at an abscess above my front tooth and so far nothing has gotten to it, MMS being the best I used. I am onto the Beck device now and have been treating the abscess [have had it for some 6 years, almost a pet to me] with it for 4 days so far and it appears to be doing the trick. I am using Sota - Silver pulser because I have it anyway now, but Godzila will do as well at much less expense. MMS as a mouth wash definitely controls superficial infections in the gums though and kills the plaque outright. No Listerine comes anywhere close. MMS also stops existing cavities from getting any bigger, if used daily. You do not even have to brush your teeth. No plaque, nothing to clean.
