About Calcium Therapy ...
Calcium salts are responsible for the solidity of bones and teeth ; in part, at least, for the clotting power of blood and milk and the normal functioning of the nerves and motion of smooth muscle. It also exists as an integral part of every living cell in the body, having to do with the passage of nutritional agents through the cell wall and the removal of waste products from the cell in the process of osmosis. It, therefore, follows that any disease phenomenon which interferes with calcium metabolism or any condition, physiologic or otherwise, which results in a depletion of the element from the body, may be benefited by the administration of calcium in some form or other. Among the older preparations of calcium
Calcium Materials rapidly stimulate healing of infections or wounds in the mouth to a remarkable degree, without harming the healthy tissues.

Periodental Diseases & Surgical Procedures:
-
If you are diagnosed with periodontal disease, your dentist may recommend periodontal surgery. Periodontal surgery is necessary when your periodontist determines that the tissue around your teeth is unhealthy and cannot be repaired with non-surgical treatment. Following are the four types of surgical treatments most commonly prescribed:
- Pocket Reduction Procedures: Your bone and gum tissue should fit snugly around your teeth. In patients suffering from periodontal disease, the supporting tissue and bone is destroyed, forming "pockets" around the teeth. These deep pockets collect more bacteria, resulting in further bone and tissue loss. In such cases, periodontists may recommend a pocket reduction procedure.
- Regenerative Procedures: During this procedure, periodontist fold back the gum tissue and remove disease-causing bacteria. Membranes (filters), bone grafts or tissue-stimulating proteins can be used to encourage your body's natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue.
- Crown Lengthening: This is a purely cosmetic procedure. Patients with a "gummy" smile - as a good part of their upper teeth are covered by gum tissue. To correct this, periodontists may remove excess gum and reshape bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth.
- Soft Tissue Grafts: Gum recession results in exposed tooth roots. Gums may have receded because of aggressive tooth brushing or periodontal disease. During this procedure, your periodontist takes gum tissue from the patient's palate or another donor source to cover the exposed root.
Reasons Against Periodental Surgery:
- Gum surgeries result in extensive loss of blood and they do not solve gum problems.
- Gum surgeries are expensive
- Gum surgery is painful and pain is experienced for several weeks thereafter. Strong pain medication is commonly prescribed. Eating is uncomfortable.
- But most importantly, perio
Dr, David C. DiBenedetto -- the author of the "Insider's Guide to Gum Disease Orthodontics and Dentistry : What is not taught in dental school" wrote as follows:
"I am a dentist who is against most periodontal surgery. I believe most periodontal surgery is unnecessary and if anything may cause more harm ... Why is most surgery unnecessary? Destructive periodontal disease is caused by harmful bacteria. Since it is caused by harmful bacteria, it is an infectious disease. Surgery does not cure infectious or contagious diseases."
He blames the volume of unnecessary surgery on: "THE POWERFUL PERIODONTAL LOBBY: It is very hard to stand up to the periodontal lobby. They are very powerful. They also have major influence with the American Dental Association. I almost think they control the ADA. The ADA has rejected two letters to the editor that I have written within the last 6 months. HOW DO YOU TREAT PERIODONTAL DISEASE? How do treat other infectious diseases? Antibiotics and debriedment. How are ulcers treated today? Antibiotics cure ulcers today, even though the Lancet published an article in 1985 about H. Pylori."
... and points out: " REMEMBER, DENTISTS ARE SURGEONS, unless we cut, we don't make a living. "
