Godzilla on teeth: Progress report

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

As I mentioned several weeks ago, I am trying to maintain my teeth by

electrifying them once or twice a week, 20 minutes on the top, 20 minutes on the

bottom, reversing the current at the 10 minute mark. I place the sponges on the

cheeks.

I have had periodontal disease, with root planing in 3 quadrants. As you may

know, the recession of the gums in periodontal disease exposes the roots and

creates pockets that are hard to clean, thereby putting the teeth at risk for

bacteria growth and abscess. There is nothing that can be done with an abscessed

tooth but remove it. I have already lost a couple.

The dentist told me that there was probably decay under an old large filling and

recommended a crown for that tooth, which I really cannot afford right now.

I started electrifying regularly after my last dental cleaning July 29 as above.

The gums now look very pink and firm, and grip the teeth. (Unhealthy gums are a

pale color and puffy, and may also bleed.)

I will report again after my next checkup in two months.

All the best to all, especially to Baby Grand, who has devoted himself to this

list. You can help everyone by posting your results and experiences for all to

see.
