Well, I am not surprised at all that there is a link between gum disesase and heart/kidney problems. When I was little (I am 57 now) the old people used to tell us to look after your teeth because "the inflamation will spread to heart and kidneys"). I am trying to tell that to my dentists but somehow...they don't get it. Now when I am in pain 24/7 (jaw and gums) my dentist is saying she has never seen anything like that. My teeth are clean, I wash them, I floss then, I spend a fortune on some rinsing products but it is not helping. Yes, I have osteoporosis and am on Actonel Combi, had kidney stones and operation of parathyroid gland, etc. I AM convinced that everything is related and there is some inflamation in my mouth which is going on and on. I even started suffereing from BBPV (vertigo) but nobody seems to want to look at me as a whole. No doctor wants to be bothered except just examine one thing.
I have a partial denture but am not able to wear it due to the pain. When my dentist takes x ray everything seems fine, like I am imagining things. Is anyone in this world willing to help?
OF COURSE THERE IS CONNECTION BETWEEN OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY AND TEETH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE EXPERT TO KN OW THAT BUT DOCTORS JUST IGNORE IT!!!
Thanks for your attention and please help.
