Rough Tartar Deposits, Gum Crevices Causes Gum Tissues Inflamed, Attract

Bacteria

Copyright 2006 SSLI Health Group

Most dentists seem to be in agreement now that the

irritation of rough tartar deposits (calculus) which

accumulate in the gum crevices causes the gum tissue to

become inflamed and to attract bacteria. When these

deposits are not thoroughly scaled from teeth by a dental

hygienist or dentist, more and more calculus accumulates

and more and more bacteria gather and live in the gum

crevice. As the process continues, there occurs a gradual

destruction of the gum fibers which hold the gum to the

teeth. This is accompanied by an eating away of the bone

which supports the tooth, an accumulation of even more

numbers of bacteria, and a foulness of the breath.

If treatment is not instituted, the teeth will lose their

bony support and eventually become very loose, and, if not

extracted, will fall out of their own accord.

Dr. Price held views regarding pyorrhea similar to these,

saying these were the beliefs of his time - but he added

that the success of the removal of the various irritants

did not explain the cause of the disease. He even stated

that traumatic bite problems are irritants and they too

must be corrected. the fact that he recognized bite

problems as a contributing factor so long ago is

extraordinary, as this had been given little attention

until more recent times.

In trying to understand the various causative problems

involved in periodontal disease, he studied the different

theories and found only confusion and contradiction. Dr.

Price then instigated an intensive study of this dental

disease.

He took a new approach, one which included an exhaustive

analysis of clinical data and a thorough, careful

examination of the characteristics present in those people

with the disease. He then related the information

collected to the patients' blood and saliva chemistries and

to the bacteria he found present.

For a long time Dr. Price could not acept the findings of

his own studies as they seemed so paradoxical and

far-fetched. In the close study of some 1400 cases, he

eventually classified dental infections into three main

categories along with a few minor ones.

These studies indicated a person's biological inheritance

play a major role, as the disease was more likely to occur

in those who had one or both parents with pyorrhea.

Another important finding was that the early treatment of

periodontal disease resulted in a complete cure, if all

tartar deposits and/or ill-fitting fillings were replaced.

In advanced cases of pyorrhea, if the removal of the

irritants was the only treatment employed, much less

improvement took place.

With local topical treatment of early causes with

medications, even when irritating deposits were not

removed, there was also marked improvement.

Cases treated by the injection of bactericidal drugs

likewise resulted in improvement when early treatment of

the disease was undertaken.
