Periodontal gum Problem May Seem to Have Little Relevance to The Side Effects of Root Canal Therapy.
Copyright (c) 2007 Sung Lee, and George Meinig D.D.S

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.
