Cavities and tick borne illnesses

I found this link and might want to look into this Dr. as I've never heard of her before. Anyone else get cavities or dental infections with bart and lyme??

http://drsusanmarra.com/testimonials/

i had no cavities or fillings before lyme / bart or in the 8 years after

i did have pretty severe gum disease early on with it though - i am sure that was related to lyme / bart as had never had any issues at all with that all my life to that point and my dental routine hadn't changed

I glanced thru her testimonials.

Where does it say anything about teeth health?

I started getting more cavities after my immunoglobulin cells got permanently suppressed. (nothing else has happened so far because of this). This also comes with age too apparently and if you mouth breath while sleeping > dry mouth> cavities.

Ive been using their elevated PH rinse and tooth gel/paste for 5 months now. This has been on several "teeth posts" here:

It says in the beginning of the article that many people with tick borne illnesses have dental issues. I'm going to just assume that must mean cavities or gum disease and it does say we can have jaw problems as well(TMJ ) I believe it's called. I had no cavities in my front teeth but last year I noticed it hurt when I'd brush my teeth, next thing I know I discovered my bottom tooth showing right under the gum. I was so passed and have no idea how this happened. It's painful. Looks like I'm getting receding gums and on my bottom teeth only like how weird, can you get receding gums on bottom and not top? It's like a tiny little hole on the bottom of my tooth where the gum is. Dammit I'm scared but more pissed that I'm turning 31, this is like my worst nightmare. I'm already so insecurity and self conscious about smiling to show my teeth. I aye lots of candy growing up but as I got older always flossed. Still do.

My questioning on your link to that lyne doctor was if she knew how to treat oral Lyme issues or if she works someone else who did. The fact that she recognizes it doesn’t really make her any better llmd than any other good ones.

There have been people here in the past (only a couple), who did encounter jaw bone issues from Lyme bacteria.

As far as cavities go I had a post here maybe last summer about it which had some pretty good comments in it from other members.

Some people regardless of how well they try to prevent cavities just get them. And I personally know people who should get cavities based on their eating habits, but they don’t.

So it also has to do with your immune system in your saliva.

People who sleep with an open mouth, will get dry mouth and that also brings on cavities. There are dry mouth sprays made for using before going to sleep. These are on retail shelves.

As far as Brushing goes, those battery operated ultrasonic toothbrushes are even better than a manual one if you don’t want a rechargeable. You can actually feel the difference.

There are pros and cons to fluoride which I am not going to get into because saliva pH is actually more important. Acidic pH is cavity habitat. The link that I had in the previous comment for carry free has elevated pH toothpaste and rinse. These are not cheap.

I also had a post that listed 95% of retail online and store available oral rinses and their pH level. The popular ones are actually sometimes Lower acidic pH themselves, so it’s pointless. There is a fairly new one which I provided the link below called Thera breath.

They make several types of rinses the bottles are in different colors their description of what they do is not very good so I will give you a shortcut and just say the pink bottle is the best one for prevention cavities. it is the highest pH rinse available on retail shelves. Target stocks it (about nine dollars ) and of course it’s available on Amazon and other places online:

There are no pros to ingesting fluoride, though.

Also, why was this ppst deleted?

You know, my life story as I'm in bed dying? Instead of debunking anything I had to say or helping me through the ordeal you laughed at me, falsely claimed my entire write up was a joke, made fun of how long the post was (as if that matters), despite my grief, and then deleted it.

Healingwell censorship is noted.

Astros reply:

I’m just a member here. I cannot delete posts, yet you are accusing me of something I cannot do. I did not contact anyone about that post either.

This is a privately owned site, and it has rules. That said there are unwritten social rules to which you should know better by now.

I was going to ask if you were intoxicated or something when you wrote that, but since that could be found offensive I decided not to ask that.

One link between cavities and Lyme disease, it can be directly related to how healthy your immune system is.

Lyme brought down my white blood cells, which I tested several classes under that and I’ve written several posts on this, it ended up last few years I have low, IgG and IGA immunoglobulins (apparently permanently). I forget which one of those, but one is mostly for battling bacteria. So the fact that I’ve had cavities more in the last five years as a middle-aged adult is probably not a coincidence. Especially considering I take good care of my teeth and watch what I eat.

Good news: I just got had my six month dental appointment. For once in four years, they found no new cavities.

For the last eight months I’ve been using CariFree high pH oral rinse and high pH toothpaste. I got this off their Amazon store.

I used the “ treatment rinse” for about seven months , now for the last two I’ve been on the “maintenance” rinse. It appears that this finally broke the cavity cycle. I brush two times a day, and even rinse sometimes in the middle of the afternoon. And I wrote a post on that last fall, good luck, finding it. I thought it just be easier to add to this post.
