I am going to post this based on my thoughts and experience not on any factual
information. However, I do want to share my thoughts because I think they are interesting.

Last week someone asked me what I thought about the relationship between getting
in better balance and the health of the teeth and gums. And, if I thought that intervention
was a good idea. I shared some of the things with her that I am about to say here.

But, I would love to do a study on this because it is something that I have though a lot
about over the years and am just not sure of.

How much does diet and and supplementation influence the mouth?

Over the last week when I have been contemplating this, I cam up with several
examples:

The first is that during treatment, it is not unusual for people to go into “i have to get
a root canal” crisis mode.

These procedures can be avoided often through the use of herbs. I have treated many of these cases and enabled people to avoid root canals in 9 out of 10 cases. And, funny, these
things always come up just at a point where someone is at a turning point in their
treatment, where strong detoxing is occurring.

In other cases, people can go into crisis mode with their mode experiencing symptoms such as hypersensitivity in the gums, teeth or both. In these cases, again, herbs should be used to divert these symptoms. And, in most cases, this solves the problem of these symptoms.

In Chinese medicine the upper teeth and gums relate to the large intestine and the lower to the stomach. In alternative dentistry, dentists link a connectivity between each tooth and the
organ it relates to.

I have noted some interesting cases over the years where patients have opted to not
undergo procedures such as cutting the gums to do deep pocket cleaning. In these
cases, patients have been told that they will experience tremendous bone loss
if this procedure isn’t done, and years later after more internal cultivation,
the gums and teeth did not exhibit any signs that would warrant such intervention,
let alone did it deteriorate further.

In another case, I had a patient who had one tooth that was black around the gum and tooth.
She is a dental chicken and chose to not seek diagnosis or treatment. After a year
of working on her health with diet and supplements the tooth is 98% clear and continuing
to improve.

Another situation I have noted over the years is that tartar build-up is very common
in those having chronic conditions. And, in a high number of patients having this condition if not all, that over growth ceases to occur as the patient becomes in better balance.

So, to answer the person who asked this question last week, this is the longer answer to your question. Again, this is not based in fact, it is simply what I have seen clinically. One
would need to study this over time to come up with solid answers. But, my feeling
is that the answer to your question is that the internal environment influences the health
of the gums and teeth in a much more significant way than perhaps even alternative
dentistry may consider-or not. But, I would think much more than the common person or traditional dentistry would think.

It is fascinating how everything is connected. Even your teeth!
