What to do about bone loss from a never ending tooth infection?

Question: I was told I have bone loss, due to a longstanding infection in the root of my tooth. This problem has been going on for 15 to 20 years. My dentist said it was a sinus infection. I had my "sinus infection" treated several times over the years and finally developed a place near my tooth where infection would seep out from time to time. Believing this to be a sinus infection I treated myself with Sudafed which generally relieved the symptoms,then they would recur. In spite of regular dental visits the dentist did not discover my bone loss until recently. He then said this was an abscess. I was advised to have the tooth pulled as the bone loss was too great to heal and restore. Also, that if my tooth is pulled the bone will regrow and I can have a bridge put in to replace the missing tooth. Is there any way to heal this infection without having my tooth pulled. I found your website and immediately began brushing with sea salt. It has made a large improvement in the situation. Thank you for your thoughts.

Answer: I consider this to be a serious problem. This is generally beyond my area of expertise, and it seems to also be beyond the area of expertise of the dentist. It seems like careful tooth cleaning will help prove your situation. I am still learning about what causes these deep infections in the jaw. To me the answers are not black and white. I also am not very sure your dentists solution of pulling the tooth. It may make the situation worse in this case. I would recommend a second opinion on the tooth infection. Look for a dentist who is an expert in the field, particularly one who has some background in other health modalities. Or see if the dentist will promise you in writing that pulling the tooth will resolve your problem.

I would also recommend you try to treat this infection with herbal medicines by visiting an expert chinese medicine, ayurvedic medicine, tibetan medicine, or western herbal practioner.

"The practical advice in this book really seems to be reversing my tooth decay!!! Hallelujah brother!!! The dentist wanted me to have two major root canals immediately and two other teeth filled. When I asked him if there was anything I could do with nutrition or supplements to get mu teeth to heal, he said "maybe you could slow the decay down a little bit" but that essentially the answer was no.

That dental visit was three mobnths ago and my teeth have stopped aching all together, are way less temperature sensitive, and feel generally stronger.

Most of us have been totally disempowered regarding the health of our teeth. This information has changed that for me. I bought the book for $28 anyway though. What a bargain, The dental work was going to cost well over $4000.00 no wonder dentists don't seem open to this stuff working! Talk about a biased perspective!!!

Think I'm excited, you will be too if you use this info to take tooth health into your own hands!"

I would also highly recommend this book to people who are looking for things they can do to protect their bones, and their overall health, as they age. In other words, this book is a must read for everyone interested in improving their health." Pam Killeen New York Times nestselling Author

"Ramiel, You (along with Weston Price) saved my teeth. Was supposed to get a root canal (which I had no money to pay for). Tooth was in pain. After three weeks on the diet I can feel a big difference, tooth doesn't hurt now and feels like it's healing. Thanks so much. Unbelievable!" - Leroy, Utah

My cavity has gotten smaller! Once you are set free from being a slave to modern foods of commerce author continues to explain how the ancient people ate. They were healthy, strong and good looking. They had no cavities. They had no illness until familiar western culture came to visit them. If you are reading this review I am sure you understnad something is not right in the world. That we are born to live under a certain hypnosis. That we are taught to give away our responsibility to "people with authority", and those people cannot even take care of themselves. I recommend this book if you want the way out."Ranko, Croatia
