Periodontal gum Problem May Seem to Have Little Relevance to The Side Effects of Root Canal Therapy.

This is of interest,as dentists seldom find teeth decaying,in periodontal pockets at the time the disease is active. The softening of the cementum and dentin which sometimes occurs in these areas is often mistaken for caries,but this a different phenomenon.

All of this information about the various factors involved in the tooth decay process and the differences which exist in periodontal gum problems may seem to have little relevance to the side effects of root canal therapy.

However,understanding these basic fundamentals is of utmost importance if the occurrence of these infections inside your teeth is to be prevented. Other than those teeth which become infected because of injuries,all infections of teeth which require root canal treatment have taken place because the tooth initially had developed tooth decay which extended into the pulp of the tooth,thereby allowing bacteria involved in the decay process to infect its pulp.

Deep pyorrhea pockets can lead to infection inside the tooth when any lateral canals open into the area of the pockets,as this will allow bacteria abundant in the pocket to enter these open channels and travel in them to the pulp, and thereby cause it to become infected.

Though the purpose of this ARTICLE IS TO REVEAL THE SERIOUS POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF INFECTIONS WHICH RESIDE INSIDE OF TEETH DUE TO TOOTH DECAY AND PYORRHEA,ITS DUAL PURPOSE IS TO EMPHASIZE HOW URGENT IS THE NEED FOR PREVENTION OF CARIES AND PERIODONTAL PROBLEMS IN THE FIRST PLACE

no longer can we regard the pleasing of our taste buds with sweets and junk food as harmless. Nutritious foods have subtle,delicious tastes that far exceed those sugary, confection-like substitutes presently being consumed in excessive quantities.

Tooth decay can be and is being stopped by diet changes, and the side effects are entirely beneficial. Diet improvement leads to a wide variety of health improvements-the most dramatic being the elimination of many degenerative diseases which so plague our society.

With that conclusion to this chapter, I would like to add an additional technical synopsis for dentists reading my compendium. The following is a quotation from Dr. Price's conclusion to his Chapter 29 dealing with this subject.

Summary and Conclusions. Dental caries are dependent upon the following factors: a. A reduction in the hydrogen-ion concentration of the normal environment of the tooth. b. An acid-producing bacterium. c. A change in the chemical constituents of the pabulum bathing the tooth. All of the above can be modified by proper diet.
