abscessed teeth

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I have developed head/facial pain that feels tooth related (similar

to pain from a previous abscessed tooth that was handled by a root

canal). Went to a holistic dentist who sent me to a root-canal

specialist to see if he could save two abscessed teeth. The

specialist (endodontist) said there was nothing wrong with those

teeth. He said there was infection in another tooth. So I am looking

for another dentist in S. Calif. to check my teeth again. Any

suggestions?

 

In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions for alleviating the

situation (head pain, infection in jaw, mercury in teeth, previous

root canals that may be infected)?

 

Any ideas on material to study on the subject?

 

:-)

Hi Doug,

 

The FIRST thing I would do is schedule an appointment with a massage

therapist who specializes in Trigger Point therapy, especially

around the head/face/neck. Trigger Points are like little knots in

muscles, but they can't always be felt; instead, they will refer

pain to other areas. Trigger Points have been known to mimic LOTS

of ailments. For example, a trigger point in a particular neck

muscle will mimic an ear infection. Sometimes, trigger points will

even mimic a heart attack, complete with the numbness on one side

and everything. Trigger points are responsible for most of the

migraines that exists. And, to come back to our original issue,

certain trigger points in the face/jaw muscles can refer pain, even

to a single tooth, mimicking a toothache. This is particularly true

for teeth that still have pain even after a root canal has been done

on them. Root canals remove the nerves completely, so all pain

should stop. If it doesn't, your problem was a trigger point, and

not an abscess. Many needless (and expensive) root canals are

performed every year, only for the pain to persist. So, before

going to a dentist, see if massage/TMJ/Neuromuscular therapy (also

done by an MT) helps you. It shouldn't take more than a few

sessions. If that doesn't solve the problem, THEN see your dentist,

and make sure he does panaramic x-rays, ks they give the dentist a

better picture of what's going on in your mouth.

 

Also, the little Tennant Biomodulator can utilize a dental

attachment that has been known to sort of " removes the need for a

dentist " , (in many situations), if you know what I mean... And this

comes from ppl with soft problematic teeth! Worth a little

research.
