Viruses stemming from the mouth typically have much wider systemic impacts.
Periodontal disease is the inflammation and damage of the tissues and structures that surround and support the teeth.
This is the result of the colonization of pathogenic bacteria in the mouth. The disease can also effect the host on a systematic scale, and as a consequence, many other chronic diseases have been correlated with unhealthy mouths.
"Jorgen Slots, DDS, PhD, a professor of dentistry at the University of Southern California, reported that herpes viruses [both Epstein-Barr virus type 1 (EBV-1) and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)] are some of the unrecognized major viruses implicated1 in periodontal attack. Unfortunately, when one transitions from the study of bacteria to consideration of viruses, most dentists cringe, since the profession has the least training in comprehending that submicroscopic world."
"Since spirochetes can invade all tissues of the body via circulatory pathways, they may be the instigators of the inflammation that damages the lining of blood vessels and possibly deteriorates the blood brain barrier. Thus, the activation of the already present latent HSV1 by spirochetes in the brain could represent the final step in a series of infections leading to full blown Alzheimer’s disease." Spirochetes are associated with bacterial viruses called bacteriophages, normally lethal to bacteria. The herpes viruses evolved from a bacteriophage, but from a different evolutionary root.
"Since data supports the notion that spirochete infection may be the inflammatory stimulus that activates already present HSV-1 in the brain, logically, eliminating this pathogen from the oral cavity would prevent its destructive cycle in AD. It is incumbent upon dentists to diagnose and reduce and/or eliminate the oral spirochetal pathogenic load from the diseased gingival sulcus. This can be accomplished through many well-known periodontal treatment regimens followed by routine oral hygiene methods."
"Non-defective prion amyloid plaques in human periapical infected oral tissues have been associated with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic oral infections indicating antiviral activity." Prions also have been found in body fluids, including saliva. However; the probability necessarily has increased exponentially since these diseases represent a large percentage of the patient population. Further, new research has implicated herpes viruses and/or other viral particles in prion formation. This fact also dramatically increases the probability that these viruses could be transferred between dental patients via contaminated instruments."
Oral bacteria and toxins can sneak into the bloodstream and have been found in systemic sepsis, infective endocarditis, lung infections and liver disease. Periodontal disease has also been linked to rheumatoid arthritis.
Taking the best care of your oral microbiome possible is the best way to take avoid periodontal disease. Regular dental cleanings and standard daily hygiene procedure is necessary, thorough brushing and flossing is imperative . Diet is also important with an emphasis on reduced intake of sugars helps to maintain a more alkaline environment.
I.V. Ozone is one of the best ways to address the pathogenic spread of bacterium from the mouth into systemic circulation that triggers genes that cause RA, cardiovascular disease, dementia and more. We enhance your super treatment with German Biologics that regionalize in all organ systems.
At Second Nature Care, we pay special attention to overall health. We offer natural treatment for Periodontal Disease and referrals to biological ozone dentists.
We have all natural Periodontal Pathogen Nosode drops. They work to improve resistance and treat the disease. Probiotics are also important in maintaining the oral microbiome as they are with any other microbiome.
