Hi Cleft,

The problem of tooth extraction is also related to the development of cavitations. This usually occurs because most dentists do not remove the periodontal ligament after they remove the tooth. It's left there. This is a cause of dead pulp, which hinders healing in the area and encourages instead potent bacteria.

In someone with a normal immunity, they maybe able to hold this in place. In others, it may become systemic and become a cause for chronic illness. Many dentists no doubt won't acknowledge this issue or cause - similar to the denials about amalgam.

The other cause is when they use a vaso-constrictor anaesthetic. This restricts blood flow to the area and is supposed to prolong numbing and make it more effective. It also contributes to a lack of healthy circulation and apparently to the formation of cavitations and even deadening of teeth eventually.

So the hole in the jaw after a tooth has been extracted should fill in with healthy bone. It cannot do this properly if a ligament is sitting there or the circulation has been hindered severely enough.

Yeah no dental material is ideal. Only our own enamel is! That's wonderful that your cavities have healed after diet change. Good for you! At least that's some extra weight off your immunity.

No, i don't think my swallowing of amalgam hindered chelation. I chelated fine after it and for years.

It was the virus and tooth extraction that changed everything and stopped progress and respones to detoxes properly. Possibly it's just made me overburdened/challenged to gather enough strength to assert itself and throw up proper healing crisis that lead to improvements. It's more about trying to keep things in some form of stability really.
