Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Hi Jerry: I thought I'd ask you what your opinion is on 1) getting old root canals cleaned and using a bridge (non-metallic - " Procera " ) in its place. What have you seen in your practice as far as health problems as related to the teeth and their effects on the meridians etc?? 2) effects of nickel crowns (#8 & 9) on health in general and on meridians etc?? Thanks so much! -m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 M., I cannot give you comprehensive answer without actually seeing the problem. I am retired - have no experience with Procera nor do I have confidence in its ability to maintain the integrity of your bite. The average man's biting pressure is 300 pounds/square inch - or 62,000 lbs on the tip of a cusp. Plastics, over time, would distort and give you grief. Your best bet would be a gold/platinum alloy. Nickel is carcinogenic - invites cancer. I wrote the Forward to " The Root Canal Cover-Up EXPOSED " and don't know what you mean by ''--getting old root canals cleaned... " You might get a second opinion on all this by visiting a 'health oriented' dentist. Would you like a referral? Questions? You can call me at 212-874-4212 (NYC time).
