Vitamins Help Heal the Wounds and Stop Wiggly Teeth.


When the wound had completely healed the same person was
given a run-of-the-mill multiple vitamin and the procedure
repeated on the other side of the mouth. The healing took
place in a third less time than before when no supplement
was used.

All teeth have very slight movement. This can usually be
perceived by placing one's fingers over the front teeth and
wiggling them. A gadget was devised by a dentist to measure
this small amount of tooth movement. In certain oral
disease situations and in dietary deficiencies this
movement has proved to be greater than normal.

With this fact in mind another simple scientific test was
devised whereby a random sample of patients coming into a
dental school had the amount of their tooth movement
recorded. They were then given a single vitamin supplement
and, will wonders never cease, within a very short period
the amount of tooth movement was materially lessened. The
excessive moveability of teeth present in so many with
pyorrhea and other gum diseases starts with such almost
unperceptible tooth movement.

For these reasons we think most people are helped by adding
a multiple vitamin mineral supplement to their diet. When
doing so it should be considered, not a pill or medicine,
but merely part of one's food intake. While we must realize
that this is a guess as to what is needed, for the most
part such additions to our diets seem to work reasonably
well.

Vitamin K Prevents Hemorrhaging After Tooth Extraction.

As hemorrhaging after tooth extractions does occur fairly
often we supply patients before and after surgery with a
supply of vitamins and and minerals to enhance and hasten
healing. This includes a chlorophyll complex that is high
in vitamin K. It works quickly and it is amazing how it
lessens bleeding during intricate surgical procedures. The
following is typical of the experiences of patients who
improve their nutrition before oral surgery.





Dear Dr. Meinig: You advised me to take a chlorophyl
complex high in vitamin K after breakfast for four days
before I was scheduled to have my two remaining wisdom
teeth removed. I had such a remarkable experience compared
to the first extraction four months ago that I want to tell
you about it.

I had absolutely no pain, no swelling, no soreness and no
bleeding except for just a few minutes about a half hour
afterwards because I was talking so much. The nurse gave me
strict orders not to rinse, no hot liquids, pain killer
prescription, etc. About 5 hours after surgery I ate dinner
as usual, except for crunchy vegetables. My mouth was a
little difficult to open completely but that was all the
discomfort I had. I brushed my teeth and rinsed with warm
and cold water.

No bleeding. The next morning my mouth was all back to
normal. This was a most pleasant surprise since after the
last wisdom tooth extraction it took several weeks for my
mouth to get back to normal, not to mention the bleeding
and pain immediately afterwards. Sincerely, S.N.H.

Gum is a Lot of Gook. A friend told me you advised her not
to use chewing gum. I realize sugared gum is  bad for our
teeth  but the ads all say 4 out of 5 dentists recommend
sugarless gum. Is this true? The advertisement saying that
4 out of 5 dentists advise chewing sugarless gum implies
dentists generally recommend gum chewing. While some do, I
doubt that many make this recommendation. Anyway, I am one
out of five that says, "Save your smile... stop chewing,
it's verboten."

The main reason is all that chewing just plain wears out
teeth. The amount of wear one gets from masticating food is
relatively little but gum is a constant repeditive problem.
If the teeth do not occlude well, there is in addition
great strain which is harmful to the jaw joint.
