When Tooth Loses Its Blood Supply, The Pulp Tissue Dies Off for Lack of Nourishment.

Note how small the diameter of the root canal is at the end
of the root of the tooth and then visualize an artery, vein
and nerve all entering the tooth at that point. You can
readily see how a blow to the mouth or teeth could cause
blood vessels to be severed. When that happens, the severed
artery cannot heal together fast enough to maintain blood
circulation within the tooth.

When tooth loses its blood supply, the pulp tissue within
the root canal dies off for lack of nourishment and
gradually rots and putrefies. Eventually it can become
infected with bacteria present in the blood, and this
eventually will cause the eating away of the bone at the
end of the tooth's root. In this particular case, the
through the bone at the floor of the nasal cavity.

This young man was a navy pilot flying off a carrier during
the Korean war. he wrote to me about having an infected
tooth and asked my advice. I suggested he have the ship's
navy dentist give him relief and not to permit any
extractions. On his return to the san Diego naval base, he
traveled to see me and I performed the apicoectomy surgery
and root canal fillings. The two follow-up x-ray pictures
were taken at six months and 12 months. You can see the
healing was almost complete after one year. After that time
the patient moved from the area, so I do not have any
further follow-ups.

The public should be aware of how difficult it is for a
dentist to understand Dr. Price's findings that seemingly
healthy teeth are still carrying infection when infected
holes in jaw bones heal up and stay that way for many
years. The thought of bacteria remaining alive in the
dentin tubules, mutating and becoming more virulent and
toxic is difficult to comprehend in the face of apparent
healing.

Our doubts can be erased only by carefully considering Dr.
Price's data regarding the severe illnesses which occurred
to thousands of rabbits when diseases were transferred to
them from root filled and apicoectomy treated teeth
extracted from sick patients. The reality will become
evident when each dentist and each patient tests these
findings and experiences their truths. We will then gain an
understanding of the mutation versatility of these families
of bacteria and their ability to create such havoc for
humans and animals.

A new truth is a new sense, for with it comes the ability
to see things we could not see before - and things which
cannot be seen by those who do not have that new truth. An
apicoectomy is an oral surgery root canal treatment
procedure that is carried out to save a tooth which might
otherwise need to be extracted.

Even when a large amount of bone has been lost, most of
these cases heal uneventfully and new bone is seen to fill
in about the end of the root completely in six to 12
months. A couple of case histories of apicoectomy surgery
from my personal practice are discussed, and before and
after x-ray pictures are shown.

The first, of a woman patient, is of interest because of
large, almost identical granuloma infections showing
lateral canals which came from the upper teeth on either
side of her two front teeth. Though her severe
gastronintestinal involvement improved dramatically with
root canal treatment of these teeth and nutritional
counselling, results were not completely satisfactory. With
our current knowledge of Dr. Price's research discoveries -
and in spite of the long history of service of these two
teeth - with hindsight it appears she would have been
better served by removal of these teeth.

The second case involved the largest cyst surgically
operated upon, which was caused not by tooth decay but by a
football injury. the filling in of new bone at the
infection site around the two teeth after six and 12 months
proved gratifying to me and the patient. Because he moved
away, I am unaware of his subsequent health history.

The successful healing in these two cases emphasizes how
difficult it is for dentists and patients alike to believe
these teeth could still be carrying infections. For those
suffering severe degenerative disease problems, it will be
only by having seemingly healthy root filled teeth removed
that judgement of Price's work will be possible. While the
percentage of apparent recoveries in such cases is high, it
must be kept in mind other factors can be involved which
preclude success.
