Degenerative Disease Caused by Tooth Infections. Case Histories.- By Dr. George Meining,DDS,. Quite often Price referred to the high number of rheumatic group lesions which resulted from dental infections. That terminology produced some confusion as it placed extreme emphasis on rheumatism and arthritis.. Although rheumatic and arthritic illness often result from oral infections, they aren’t any more prevelant as a result of dental infections than those which affect the heart and circular-tory system.. Dr. Price’s decision to call all diseases resulting from dental infections degenerative diseases was a prophetic one. Time has proven him correct and people generally recognize this term implies a progressive health deterioration.. During Dr. Price’s time, and even today, people believe degenerative diseases are caused by accidental exposure to specific germs and as a result the heart, kidneys, joint, etc. are attacked – much like contracting the measles, memps, chicken pox, etc.. Because, in some cases, bacteria are involved, the above view still predominates. The issue is further confused by the fact that tissue deterioration also takes place because of nutritional deficiencies and excesses.. At the same time, hardly anyone realizes the extent to which focal infections from teeth, tonsils, and tonsil tags are major contributors to the presence of degenerative diseases. That fact motivated the writing of this book.. It is most difficult on one hand to realizes how fabulous … Video Rating: 0 / 5

Question by Katie: OTC tooth pain relief?
I am getting 4 teeth removed ASAP i have to see an orthodontist first an my appointment isn’t until thursday. I have a tooth that is so decayed that it has holes it in and when i bend over i get shooting pain through it. It has caused ear, face and sinus pain and i am constantly dizzy. I take the maximum dose of tylenol daily and i get some relief. Is there anything over the counter that i can put in and around this tooth to make it numb without it stinging and hurting the root which is slightly exposed. I need something i can’t sleep through the night. I got 2 hours of sleep last night. It also gets a lot worse around 9pm at night and i can’t lay down comfortably. Its excruciating. If anyone has anything that has worked for them that would be amazing!
Question by : tooth pain when biting, on a tooth that had a crown about a year ago?
I have a tooth that had endodontal treatment (i.e. root canal) about a year/9months ago and a crown placed on it (upper left molar). Since then it’s been perfectly fine, however tonight I woke up and found that the tooth was painful when I bite on it. I tried pressing down on each tooth one by one and only the treated molar has this pain. It’s kind of dull, i.e. I can stand this pain, like a discomfort when I bite even when I clatter my teeth together there’s no *sharp* pain.
Before I had the root canal and crown, for years I used to get this symptom with the same tooth that often precedeed a cold, i.e. indicative of a sinus infection. Once I presented to a dentist with this issue and after a bit of poking around he told me it was sinusitis and gave me antibiotics. This led me to ignore this symptom for years, in fact it did used to be quite a good predictor of colds, I’d get the pain in the tooth then a cold would come.
Then last year the tooth developed an abscess on the gum, classic root canal stuff and I had to get the root canal and crown.
My sinus has been a little clogged in recent weeks but it has improved in the last week I don’t feel like I’m coming down with a cold. Plus it is only this one tooth. But it is exactly like the symptoms I used to have.
However now its worrying me that the root canal has failed, there is infection and I will lose the tooth after paying a fortune (cash) to get it treated.
Does anyone have any advice?
Best answer:
Answer by pareconda It sounds like the root canal treatment has failed. If it has, the length of time it is likely to have been present means that any infection will be seen on an x-ray, which means that you should see your dentist. Further treatment would be very difficult as the existing root filling would have to be removed (this is more difficult through an existing crown). And then it will have to be refilled. The success in this in molars is very low/poor. If it were mine, I’d have it out.
