Abscess

1. A type of lighting.

2. Inflamed pus or swelling around a tooth. It means you ate some bad food.

Caries

2. A terrible disease inflicted upon the masses by the the processed food industry.

Cavity

Composite

Crown (or cap)

A sign of honor placed upon your tooth when you have not eaten a good diet. FYI, many "porcelain" crowns still have metal in them.

Dentin

2. The middle layer of the tooth, where tooth remineralization can occur.

Dentist

Gingivitis

1. An ancient chinese herb for health.

2. Arthritis of the mouth and tooth joints. Each tooth is cemented into place with ligaments and special cartilage. Gum inflammations occur when the body is out of balance, many times from poor digestion.

Impacted tooth

A tooth confused about which direction to grow due to a poor diet. Teeth impact not because of genetics but because there is not enough space in the jaw for the tooth to fit. This lack of space is due to a poor diet, it is a result of blocking our genetic potential with inferior foods and drugs.

Orthodontist

Usually a male who drives around in a new Mercedes or BMW and owns a second home in Hawaii. Ideally they correct facial imbalances which are a result of a poor diet. I have some recommendations on where to find holistic orthodontists in the middle of the page.
