Rescued by My Dentist: New Solutions to a Health Crisis - Paperback

by Douglas L. Cook (Author)

Book title: RESCUED BY MY DENTIST, subtitle, New Solutions to Health Crisis, shows the influence of the oral cavity on human health. Such commonplace things as high-speed drilling, use of mercury fillings and other toxic restorations, the root canal treatment of teeth, and infected jawbones, all serve as unsuspected causes of much, and perhaps most, of the sicknesses and the ailments in our society. Forty seven case histories contrast the patient symptoms and complaints before dental treatment with the patient's improved condition after dental care. Each case points to the oral cavity as being a part of the human body that must not be overlooked; the dentist is, or should be, a key player on the healing team. The author describes cutting-edge technology that allows the practitioner to pick compatible dental materials and much more; it helps to find which teeth are causing havoc in the body and to locate the diseased, infected regions in the jawbone. Root canal treated teeth which are often infected and toxic, despite a carefully done root canal treatment, serve as additional causes of common health problems. The author reveals how teeth may be damaged by the heat and suction of high-speed drilling and how switching to low-speed drilling allows dentists to avoid the tooth damage that can be done by drilling. A Tooth-Body Chart shows the organs and body regions that are related to each tooth location, showing the importance of the oral cavity to the health of the whole body.
