The Health Hazard Posed by Jawbone Cavitations


Cavitations are holes left in the jawbone by an incompletely extracted tooth - and they can cause just as many problems as infected root canals. Suzin Stockton's much needed book supplements Dr. George Meinig's explanation of cavitations in Root Canal Cover-Up, showing how they can be a little-appreciated source of disease.

Dr. Christopher J. Hussar, a dentist and osteopath, has performed surgery for cavitation removal for many years. "I have been privileged," he writes, "to be able to remove small areas of chronically infected dead bone from people's jaws, resulting in the cure of such diverse conditions as headaches, blindness, migratory arthritis, auto immune disease, tinnitus, fibromyalgia, ear pain, neck pain and many others. I have performed oral surgery on patients and have subsequently seen what appeared to be a cancerous mass essentially disappear from that patient's abdomen … 80% of patient illness I find in my practice to originate in the mouth. Daily, I continue to be astounded at the worldwide impairment that oral disease has on human heath."

To prevent cavitations, there is a specific technique required when removing teeth, particularly those infected teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. Left behind, the presence of infected matter is infrequently discovered, but it can cause and perpetuate virtually any disorder in the body. Dr. J. Bouquot, at the medical and dental schools of the University of West Virginia, claims that 73% of trigeminal neuralgia patients had total relief by eliminating cavitations.

Ms. Stockton writes from her own experience and intensive research, outlining the various problems caused by cavitations, how to detect them and the protocol for treating them. This is a must-read book - for both the layman and health professional.
