She had POTS and chronic skin abscesses, so she asked a smart question. Could her mouth be part of the load her body is carrying? On the scan we found a deep cavity that had reached the nerve, with an abscessed tooth she could not even chew on. We also found three wisdom tooth sites that never healed properly after extraction. Areas like that can keep the immune system busy with chronic inflammation. When your body is constantly dealing with something, it has less capacity for everything else. Her plan: clear the infection with a ceramic implant instead of a root canal, clean up the old extraction sites, and give her body one less battle to fight. If you are managing a chronic condition, your mouth is worth a look. Save this and share it with someone managing a chronic condition who has never had their mouth checked. #pots #chronicillness #chronicinflammation #oralsystemiclink #holisticdentistry #naturaldentistry #rootcause #wholebodyhealth #immunehealth #dentalhealth #conebeamct #TikTokShopMyWellnessJourney

This patient suffers from something called "pots" and also a disease where she ends up with a lot of abscesses on her skin. Why don't you know if there was any infection in her mouth that may be contributing to her immune dysfunction? Her body not being able to take care of things. We found a couple of things. First of all, she has a great big cavity right here that's already gone all the way to the nerve and this tooth is abscessed. She can't even chew on this tooth without being in pain. So rather than a root canal which is what most dentists would recommend, we're actually going to recommend she remove and replace it with ceramic dental implant. She also has three areas where wisdom teeth were removed that didn't heal properly. These areas lead to chronic inflammation in the body. That chronic inflammation sets up a real cascade of problems with the immune system. It constantly has something to deal with and can't deal with other things. So we're going to take care of the infection and it should really help with her other conditions.
