Dental
diseases are linked to microorganisms that produce toxic
chemicals to destroy dental tissue.
The oral cavity is full of different kinds of
bacteria that use the resources in the mouth to survive.
The bacteria have three classifications.
They are either pathogenic, beneficial or
neutral. When the
oral cavity is dominated by pathogenic bacteria, there
is dental disease. When
the oral cavity is dominated by beneficial bacteria,
there is good dental health.
The neutrals, which make up over 90% of the
bacteria, follow whichever kind of bacteria dominates
the environment. When
there are no dominant bacteria, the oral cavity is
ecologically balanced, which means that pathogens can
not do damage. The
two bacteria neutralize each other.
The game is tied, so to speak.
When the balance is shifted or ecologically
shifted toward the side of pathogenic bacteria, there
becomes a good chance of dental disease.
Treatment of dental disease includes reversing
the balance to shift the environment to favor beneficial
bacteria.
Definitions
of different kinds of dental disease
Tooth
decay:
Tooth
decay is due to an Acid Base Chemistry that has excess
amount of acid. The disease is associated with sugar
bugs. Sugar bugs are adult bacteria that thrive on white
refined sugar. Remains of sticky candy and other white
sugar sweets attach in between the teeth and in the
grooves of the teeth. The sugar bugs attack the
remaining particles because they have the enzymes to
digest the white sugar to use for energy. The sugar
bug release byproducts of strong acids that eat through
the enamel of the teeth. The sugar bug dominates the
environment and influences other remaining bacteria to
become allies in decaying the teeth. The strong acids
are not the right environment for enteric bacteria and
they seem to disappear. They either die or they go back
to being spores. The key pathogen has been identified as
Streptocoocus mutans. The obvious solution is to
not eat white refined sugar. This is impossible since
the food manufacturers know that white refined sugar is
addicting. Also white refined sugar is a good source of
instant energy. The public will buy more food if there
is white refined sugar. Apparently brown sugar does not
have the addicting properties as that of white refined
sugar. Children need lots of energy and become addicted
to the sugar taste. As a result, children are prone to
tooth decay. Good brushing habits and dental floss
may remove some of the food particles but many of the
particles still remain. Strong antibacterial toothpastes
may destroy the sugar bugs, but they hide inside the
teeth, under the gums and under the tongue to escape the
toxic chemicals. The best solution to tooth decay is to
remove existing decay by going to the dentist, then stay
away from white refined sugar. Balance the diet with
alkaline foods. If there are children, teach good
oral hygiene, keep them away from white refined sugar,
keep your fingers crossed and pray. Pure water may keep
children from drinking too much soda pop but sometimes
that is wishful thinking. There is a connection of foul
tasting water and a higher incidence of tooth decay.
Gingivitis:
Gingivitis
is a dental disease that exhibits symptoms of bleeding,
swelling and some pain. Gingivitis occurs in a mild
alkaline to mild acid environment. The cause is
improper oral hygiene and lack of enzymes to digest
certain food substances. The main bacteria linked to the
disease are pathogenic enteric bacteria. Pathogenic
enteric bacteria are gram negative bacilli that are the
main food pathogens. The pathogens are scavengers that
take left over food particles that have started to decay
and digest them for nutrients and energy. They release
as byproducts toxic fumes that destroy epithelial cells
in the oral cavity. Enteric bacteria have thin cell
walls so that the toxins cause acid bacteria to
disappear. Acid bacteria have thick cell walls and the
toxins of enteric bacteria either cause them to die or
revert back to a spore form. The spores of bacteria are
found in all food substances. Enteric bacteria start to
grow when the food starts to spoil. The symptoms of
gingivitis show that the immune system is at work. The
swelling and bleeding are due to the immune system
sending the body scavengers to destroy the bacteria.
Instead of letting the body scavengers do their job,
dentists suppress the disease by giving their patients
antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents and telling their
patients to use strong antibacterial toothpaste,
mouthwash and hydrogen peroxide. The acute disease is
pushed deeper into the body where it can turn into a
chronic disease called periodontal disease. The Chinese
believe that acute diseases can be cured if the symptoms
run their natural course, but chronic disease may have
no cure. Treatment is to use probiotics to control the
enteric bacteria and produce acids to make the enteric
bacteria disappear.
Periodontal
disease: Periodontal
disease is due to the suppression of gingivitis. The
Acid Base Chemistry is alkaline. The bacteria begin with
the same bacteria that are associated with gingivitis,
the enteric bacteria. As the environment becomes more
alkaline, the enteric bacteria die or go back to their
spore form. The new bacteria that grows may be a
primitive spore form of what may be called plaque
bacteria. Plaque bacteria grow to form crystals
that attach to the teeth. The crystals destroy the
ligaments that attach the bone to the teeth. This
destruction process results in pockets. The pockets trap
more food particles to keep the disease progressing.
Eventually all the available minerals are used up and
the plaque bacteria start to use the minerals from bone.
The combination of pockets and loss of bone may end up
in loose teeth that are finally extracted by dentists.
Periodontal disease may end up in loss of all teeth.
Treatment for periodontal disease is scaling by the
dentist and changing the Acid Base Chemistry to become
more acid.
Dental plaque is
a calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate crystal
formation that occurs when the pH of saliva and blood in
the oral cavity becomes too alkaline.
The alkaline environment produces an
electromagnetic field around plaque bacteria that
attracts calcium to its surface.
Calcium continues to build until the plaque
bacteria become a magnet to attract other plaque
bacteria to its cell wall.
The plaque bacteria continue to pile on top of
each other until they form a colony.
The colony becomes a large magnet to deplete all
the calcium and phosphate in saliva and blood in the
oral cavity. The
body replenishes the lost calcium and phosphate by
removing them from the underlying bone that supports the
teeth. The
calcium and phosphate that attaches to the colony of
plaque bacteria form a shell of calcium apatite crystal.
The crystal is what is called dental plaque.
Dental plaque are attracted to fibroblasts that
repair and regenerate fibrous connective tissue.
The combination of destroying fibrous connective
tissue and bone loss is what is called periodontal
disease.
Mouth
odor: Mouth
odor, better known as bad breath or halitosis is due to
enteric bacteria. The
Acid Base Chemistry is mild alkaline to mild acid.
The bacteria are found on the tongue, under the
tongue and hiding in crevices under the gums. Food
particles lodge under the gums and in between teeth
where enteric bacteria digest the particles to release
odors. The food
particles contain nitrogen and sulfur. That
means that the food particles are proteins, mostly
animal and poultry products.
The toxins are some form of ammonia or hydrogen
sulfide gas. The
odor may be ammonia or hydrogen sulfide from the stomach
and gut. The
gases have been sent back to the oral cavity when the
proteins rot in the stomach and gut. The
same enteric bacteria found in the gut digest the rotten
proteins and send the gases back to the mouth.
Treatment is to use protein enzyme supplements
that include vitamins and minerals. Also
use plant aromatic acids to make the environment more
acid to neutralize the toxic fumes. Another supplement
is to use probiotics to use bacteria to control the
enteric bacteria and neutralize the toxic fumes by using
their own enzymes to digest the gases.
Dental
disease is an Acid Base Chemistry imbalance that lets
certain potential bacteria grow.
The true solution may be to keep a clean and
toxic free oral cavity to prevent dental disease. Toxic
free means not to use products that release toxins that
attract potential pathogenic bacteria.
It is like a room in your house.
Keep it clean and free of toxic chemicals and the
room will not make you sick. Keep
it dirty with rotten food particles and sprays that are
toxic and you will most likely get sick. It
all depends on the condition of the room. In
a clean room with no toxic chemicals, even the pathogens
become harmless (Ewald "The New Germ Theory").
HealthStores
is committed to supply concerned dentist with products
that can fight dental disease without using toxic
chemicals that destroy dental tissue and or produces
mouth odors. Bleaching
agents, strong antiseptic mouthwashes, fluoride
toothpastes, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol breath
fresheners and other oral hygiene products do kill
bacteria but also initiate dental plaque.
Today's oral hygiene products address one problem
and creates another. Instead
use of today's products should be used along with
Biotech products to cover all the bases of dental
disease. Contact
