Wisdom teeth are extracted in the United States at a rate of more than 10 million every year! But what are the consequences to your health when the extraction sites do not heal properly?
Today’s story illustrates the negative impact on your health when your wisdom teeth are extracted and the sockets don’t heal well. What you see in today’s photos are black waxy masses that I removed from the jaws of a 30 year old woman who is dealing with bilateral breast cancer. She had her wisdom teeth extracted late in her teen years and the healing experience was horrible. Little did she know that foreign materials and microbes made their way into her jawbone. They were trapped there for more than a decade until we just recently resected them, cleaned the surrounding bone treating it with ozone, and grafting it with her own healing “L-PRF” cells.
It is important to understand that bones in our body should be free from microbes. The jawbones are unique bones. When teeth are removed the living bone is exposed to the outside world. If a stable blood clot forms after tooth extraction or is grafted with your concentrated healing cells (called “L-PRF”), then the body is able to repair itself forming healthy new bone and gum tissue. However, in cases like today’s patient, her poor healing trapped microbes inside of her jaw where it has remained for years. Her lymphatic drainage system attempted to off-load this infection 24/7 which led the microbes directly into her cardiovascular system where it was distributed throughout her body. Sadly, until the source of infection is removed, there is no hope of health.
If you are having your wisdom teeth removed, I recommend that the sockets are cleaned with ozone and filled with “L-PRF”, a concentration of your healing cells. My team and I would be happy to help you through this process! Ping us today to schedule your biological dental care!
