Brush your teeth. See the dentist. Just like your mom told you.

And floss, floss, floss. That’s key for gum health.

Do not get root canals. This is how your life ending mouth bacteria spread throughout the body, particularly the heart, arteries, and brain. It gets in the blood suplies from the tooth into the jaw and down your neck into the heart and other organs.

Heart disease patients have detrimental/damaging mouth bacteria in the heart muscle.

I’m scheduled for my first root canal soon. What’s the alternative?

Wear a compression bandage on the head.

And yet people who were very sharp until the day they died had a LOT of plaque in their brains upon autopsy.

IIRC there were more than a few folks who had this anomaly

Could be a combination of factors, this being one.

I used to know what caused it. But I forgot. I think I wrote it down somewhere...

There’s a movie/documentary called “Root Cause” that tells of one man’s experience. Options are discussed there. Movie is rentable for 99 cents on Apple TV or the iTunes Store.

I am not a dentist and not giving any advice. Do your own research. Discuss with your own dentist.

I don’t believe it! If true there would be practically zero cases of Atzheimer’s here in Alabama. You know, we have no teeth.

With your current dentist they may not offer an alternative.

There are some dentists that try to do what they can to save the tooth. I dont know the current state of your tooth so i cant say what options would work for you.

But most dentists are conventional and drill and fill and pull. Some get more schooling and learn other techniques to do minimal invasive and destructive dentistry, to preserve as much of the tooth as they can, using lasers, smaller fillings instead of way oversized ones that weaken the tooth structure, use non mercury filings, glass resins or other resins that are more like natural tooth structure.

Have the infected tooth extracted and let your remaining teeth shift position. Or just don’t do anything and let it fester and risk dying a premature death caused by an untreated infection as Jim Henson of the Muppets did.

I wonder if this mouth bacteria is responsible for Diabetes. An expert in Diabetes revealed to me tonight that dimentia is actually Type 3 Diabetes in the brain. The nerve cells have developed insulin resistance from some source of inflammation. Now we may have the source of that inflammation.
