--cavities( oral nasties)--

the news--

  i had a dental appointment the other day, and had thoughts about cavities and how they form( some of these views i shared with my dentist), here they are for others to inspect--

  cavities--

    i feel that the cavity is the result of just the right bacteria sticking to the teeth, a bacteria that thrives via absorbing calcium, and processing it in their bodies as a food( or fuel), the "by-product" is likely ammonia( or a different acidic material), as is common with most bacteria, and their growth cycles...i am not aware of the exact type of bacteria at this time( my dentist may discover this, if he decides to take me seriously), but, i feel this to be the situation "in-play" with those unhappy persons experiencing a mouth full of cavities...and it may also shed light on why some persons do not get any cavities at all, even if they hardly brush, so, i contend that if the immune system, and the "oral flora" are working well within a subject, that no bacteria can remain on the teeth, to begin the initial stage of tooth decay( cavity formation), as a result of immune response to their presence....in addition to this, the reason older men and women may have rapid tooth decay, and loss, in their senior years, may be due to this "immune response", being suppressed/reduced, within the mouth--

   what to??
 
      obviously, brush, brush-like-the-wind...see your dentist every three months, for a cleaning( i feel that frequent cleanings are the best current option, combined with the modern "sealants" perhaps...in my opinion), in addition to this, i believe that if the exact bacteria can be isolated, that i feel causes cavities to begin with, we may be able to create an antibody to compensate for it, or use a simple toothpaste, that has a specific medicine, to eliminate this exact bacteria..."designer toothpastes" may someday be a reality, and cavities may never again occur( time will tell??)--


  tooth restoration/dental prolapse correlations--

   i shared with my dentist my belief that tooth extraction before the tooth is ready to be replaced with an implant, is ill-advised, since i feel that dental prolapse occurs after there is no tooth left for the jaw to supply with nutrients, causing the jaw to "prolapse" where the tooth originally lay...i suggest that the jaw was also getting calcium enrichment, when the tooth was there, and no longer, after the tooth was not present...i feel this is due to the root of a tooth, being an area that calcium "smelts" out of the blood-stream, from the action of the calcium going up the root, and being trapped there, from a smaller hole on the exit( working like a pump, pumping water up a water-tower, and the exit being like a "sluice", used in mining, where only the water can exit, and the minerals remain), this would explain the pulp very well, and the way in which teeth are "re-calcified", from the pulp within the tooth( from the inside out)...i also feel that this shows the dynamic "in-play" when a tooth is formed, initially, by a string of many veins( two rows of them), that are present within the mouth at birth...they go up and down, and i believe the side of the roots that has the valve( as seen in veins regularly), becomes partially blocked( as it should), and calcium deposits begin to form( teeth)...i believe that this concept may show why there are two rows of teeth, and why they form at all--


 tooth re-calcification--

   i shared with my dentist that we may be able to fill cavities in the future, via depositing a solution of calcium on the tooth, and then evaporating it( as seen in the bottom of all modern tea-kettles), i feel that the practice of building up calcium deposits, on a tooth, after it has been cleaned of debris, may be a possible treatment for cavities in the future( my dentist, or another medical professional in the field, will have to figure the logistics out), but, i feel the concept has promise...as for enamel, i believe that this is a result of the action of the bodies saliva, eroding raw calcium, and if this "tooth re-calcification" system was deployed on a subject, that the deposited calcium would appear as normal enamel, rather quickly, from the erosion of the bodies natural oral enzymes--


  dental prolapse procedure--

  private--  ask my dentist  :o) 



      summary--

      brush your teeth, the dentist costs a fortune...


--i feel that this b.s., is outstanding b.s., for starting a conversation with your dentist, or other medical professional...and nothing more--
