Patients keep rambling on about bacteria. Good. This can really help to figure out what to do in cases of Diastemic infection. A ragged old x-ray of teeth #8+9, the small regular x-ray, can reveal a lot of the situation. It’s usually better than the digital or panoramic x-ray of all the teeth. Even before the patient get in the dental chair, the Calcium Homecare Kit will start calming the environment and begin to control the bacteria count of the mouth. Then, questions arise. Why doesn’t that area begin to heal? What’s with the tooth that doesn’t tighten up? Do I have some exotic syndrome? Is my whole family cursed with it?
Bacterial infection is not a curse but is sometimes hard to pin down, esp. if symptoms have been around so many years the person has adapted to tolerate them. That’s the case with Diastemic infection, and dentists were never taught anything about this condition. No one knew or did not want to know. But once it is known there is no reason to use the condition to dump the fear of god onto the patient. This serves no good purpose. The treatment for it, Osso-Endo-Cystic Therapy, is direct, nonsurgical and easy to accomplish for the patient and the dentist.
Lyme Disease, diabetes, or Sjogrens Syndrome are tough on the oral cavity and saliva production. The calcium materials provide relief for many with these symptoms by simply improving the environment of the mouth so that bacteria cannot ramble and colonize so easily, even for patients without teeth. The Diastemic infection remains there under the denture in the front bone of the palate. We’ve been treating these case for decades. A pinch of CZ Chips or Calcium Powder around the front teeth or under the denture every couple days is very easy and effective.
Ramble through our papers on Fusobacteria and Clostridium Difficle. In Paris a couple months ago we presented our take on this relationship between the mouth and the gut infections. That information is in there too.
