Digest Number 1839 - dental implants

Re: Dental implants

Ann,

This may be a unique case, but someone I know who had many dental

implants now has excessive, uncontrollable salivation. He is a clarinet

player and the salivation is a real problem. I know many people who've

had one or two implants and have apparently tolerated it well. Yet I

would wonder about the metal and bone issue you mention. The thought

gives me the willies.

Frances,

Yes, willies, indeed. This is apparently going to be an issue of individual

sensitivity, as with so many things. Entering a risk zone like surgery calls

for good premeditation. Thank you for your observation. I guess the idea of

a chunk of titanium embedded just under my sinuses gives me pause. Meridian

effects and all that. Maybe i should pierce my tongue just to desensitize my

squeamishness ;-)

 

And oh yeah...what about subsequent MRIs?

On a side note, bridges can also be problematic froma cranio-sacral

perspective, especially when they span the midline, they tend to lock up

some stuff that would rather move.

Very interesting, Par;

have you observed this in patients; heard it from other practitioners?

Mostly heard about it from other practitioners. There was a period of time

where I worked with a lot of teens and was doing a lot more cranial work,

and there was definitly a pretty consistent clunkiness to cranial rhythms in

people with braces or a recent history of braces. I've been told some of

this can be reduced substantially with braces that don't cross the midline,

but I never felt patients before and after, so I don't know, and I had an

opinion about it before I started so I'm hardly an impartial observer. I

tried regular cranial protocol (Upledger) and working with individual teeth

with sometimes gratifiying results.

 

Does anyone have interesting TCM dental anecdotes, I've alwasy been

fascinated by teeth...
