I think dentist make a lot of their money pulling wisdom teeth. I was told by several that mine would grow out of the sides of my gums and that I should have them removed. That was lie. They did not grow in that way. Even to this day when they find out I still have my wisdom teeth, they want to rip them out. Why?

If we followed the wisdom of Weston Price and William Donald Kelley, our wisdom teeth wouldn't be a problem.

I had mine pulled (growing sideways) along with my biscupids because they wouldn't fit in my moUth. Then braces.

I think my 4 bicuspids are still up in the attic with my old naked Barbie doll....

pity we can't put them back...

What is a debtist?

Hey Dr. Yoho,

Nice article. It is good to see you taking your dental health into account for optimal health and vitality.

There are many good dentists in the states that specialize in safe mercury replacements and chelation. I was one of them and was trained by Dr. Huggins and many others. The IAOMT organization is a great place to start. Look for a dentist especially trained in safe mercury replacements. I did not trust Mexican dentistry but I know the reasons you chose this route.

I would not use the Biocomp Laboratory for your dental material testing. It is wrong to many times.

I used OSR1 for excellent chelation instead of the useless EDTA. I have since retired and had a book, Holistic Dental Care, published that summarizes the ways dental health can effect your whole body.

I will pray for you and your recovery.

Blessings

I would like to know the doctor in Spain who fixes root canals, and if you have any in the States also. I have 9 root canals (a dentist fooled me that I needed them) and am seriously concerned what to do about them. To take out all these teeth will leave me with only my front teeth which at this point is unthinkable.

I have all my wisdom teeth and they're fine. Though I still have one filling that needs to be removed and one root canal. My fear of dentists aside, I'm going to have to bite that bullet soon if I want to stay healthy. BTW, have you looked into Thiamine (B1) therapy for Parkinson? It works to quell the shakes. When I read about it, I told my Pastor whose hands were shaking uncontrollably, he decided to give sublingual thiamine a try. His shaking noticeably stopped within days - there's still some residual shaking, but now the communion wine stays in the cup. I am not a doctor (I'm just into researching natural remedies for what ails), but perhaps if you look into it, it might help.

Dr. Yoho, I had my mercury fillings pulled years ago (vanity) and replaced with the cosmetic amalgams...now I am wondering about root canals....what can be done other than pull them?

I am incredibly vain about my teeth (spent a fortune on them) and I can't live with being toothless....

I don't remember what they put up in the root canal....and I think I just had one redone because it was infected...and they put dead people's cadaver up in it...

Ugh.

root canals must all be removed and the infected area around them drilled out if you care about your health. there are now composite zirconia implants that are good. These are done in the USA but I have had a referral to a physician/dentist in Spain who does this using stem cells. Let me know if you want the contact info.

Do you recommend Dr Lagos in Tuijana or your Dr in Spain if you have a dead tooth and need a zirconia implant?

I had three root canals removed 3 months ago. They were all infected. I replaced them with NOTHING! They were not front teeth, so not visible. I am eating everything I did before, including steak, with no problem. Vanity is silly in comparison to good health.

Yikes. I guess I have more homework to do now.....my dentist recommended one for a front tooth that had "died" years before from trauma....it was getting progressively discolored and they said it would likely get painful or infected, so I finally agreed to have it done a year ago. Bad choice, I guess. I'm generally skeptical about the notion of asymptomatic infections, although I've seen a few MV replacements from bacterial seeding after dental work, so......

I hope your recovery goes well and you get the relief you are hoping for.

Maybe when you are feeling better you can do a 'stack on a topic about something going RIGHT in healthcare?! Just for fun..... :) ?

I had TWO root canals done about 2 years AFTER I had beautiful porcelain veneers installed. Same tooth on opposite sides became infected (I now fully understand why people take painkillers) about 6 months apart from one another. I have heard endodontist are making a killing since veneers have come on the market. Before that I had ZERO root canals. I did go to a holistic endodontist, was give vitamin C intravenously and he had a better system of cleaning and HOPEFULLY sterilizing that two bad teeth. But who knows really. So far no health issues. My VANITY got me into this situation - the veneers LOOK great, but honestly - I would not consent to this expensive procedure knowing what I now know. Not worth the risk.

Yeah. Read Gammal's book entirely. If it were me, I would get all root canals extracted and replaced with zirconia implants.

Dr. Yoho I empathize with you for I too now have a tremor. My primary care doctor diagnosed it as a basic “essential tremor” and I await my November appointment with a neurologist (I couldn’t get one sooner). I’m not optimistic because the cause can be a million different things. I did have my mercury amalgam fillings removed a while ago.

I also have diabetes for six years now and my A1C has gone up in the last year from the 6’s to the 7’s. I have tried to avoid medication but now my endocrinologist is recommending it. My dilemma is that taking medication is like substituting one poison for another. But the prospect of walking around with high blood sugar numbers alarms me (six years ago I was almost at 14 A1C). I have tried to lower my numbers via diet and herbs but now maybe the honeymoon period is over. Any comments?

Your essays on dentistry have prompted great conversations with friends. We ponder how many 'drill and bills' we experienced. We mourn the extraction of so many teeth - wisdom plus molars - because we were deemed to have small mouths. Such stupidity. We ponder if 'dry mouth' syndrome, especially at night, is related to weak jaws. I have no idea, but your essays have given true "food for thought" to chomp upon.

You might try mouth taping at night. Check the book "Breathe" by James Nestor. I only have dry mouth when I forget to tape!

It's not as if you tape across the whole mouth. I use blue silicone tape and wear it sorta like a hitler mustache that goes across both lips just under the nose. That way, if I have to sneeze or something, I can.
