The Root Canal Bacteria, Dental Infection Bacteria Often Attacked The Heart and Circulatory System
By George Meinig Sixteen heart and other circulatory disease conditionswere mentioned as disease problems which can occur aseffect to the presence of root canal filled teeth. Such a large number of different heart involvementconditions is surprising as during World War I it wasdisclosed that 10 to 11 percent of all deaths inUnited States and England were due to heart involve-ment, and at that time most cases involved the heartvalves. During that period most doctors believed these heartcases were caused by streptococcus infections and that this organism species was involved in 90 percentof such cases. The major cause for infective endo-carditis according to the Mayo Clinic Health Letter in1986 was the streptococcus veridans family of bacteria -the very same one Dr. Price found most often araisingfrom infected teeth. The number of deaths from heart disease has increased from 10 percent during Dr. Price’s time to over 50 percent of all deaths today. In view of Dr. Price’sdisclosures about the relationship of root canaltherapy to the high number of heart cases and otherdegenerative diseases related to endodontic treatment,the time is overdue for the dental profession to reassess its role in the occurrence of these diseases. A good example of the seriousness of this enquirycan be seen in the endocarditis case of nine yearold girl. She had been bedridden for five of hernine years. A culture made from her two infected baby teeth was injected into the ear veins of three rabbits,each of which developed endocarditis and myocarditis,and one of them also developed rheumatism. One of therabbits developed the largest heart ever seen in arabbit. Number of other heart conditions were covered in thischapter. Many of the cases proved difficult to classifyas the patients were suffering from several organor tissue disturbances all at the same time. Investigations revealed that in a good number of thesecases patients made substantial recoveries when rootcanal filled teeth were removed!!!! Phlebitis cases were few in number, but the infectionof a culture from a woman patient with phlebitis caused a rabbit’s ear to swell 10 to 20 times thethickness it had been. In addition, the rabbit developedan acute gall bladder disturbance, multiple ulsers,andinfections of the walls of the blood vessels. The case discussed and shown are only a small percentageof heart and circulation cases presented in the two Dr.Price books, but they are representative. Why these focal infection cases clear up and don’t justcontinue on after the infected tooth or teeth are removed is a question often asked.Undoubtedly, when the condition has persisted for a longperiod, healing is not fully possible, but it is the getting rid of the continual outpouring of bacteria andtheir toxins from the infected teeth which enables thebody’s immune system to get rid of the infection at thefocal infection site and allows the body to heal itself.
