Parkinson's and gum infections.

[Bitsy]

Hi everyone, did any of you have a gum infection, root canal therapy or implant before they got Parkinson's?  Just curious. Cheers have a great day. Bitsy

[Beckey]

Abcess (1), root canal (4), bridge (1) but no implants. Are you thinking of mercury?

[Bitsy in reply to Beckey]

No bacterial toxins. xo

[12stargate in reply to Beckey]

I am having the mercury taken out too!

Dental pathogen Treponema denticola requires thiamine to survive... travels during dental procedures

[BUZZ1397]

I've had an abscess twice in my life, both times had a root canal surgery. Years before PD. You suspect a PD relationship with oral surgery, eh? 

[Bitsy in reply to BUZZ1397]

There is a connection between cancers, neurological disease and bacterial toxins - I will post it xo

[pushkin]

yes

[lauralizzie]

Yes I have had root canal treatment and an abcess. Currently waiting to have an infected tooth removed which I know is making my PD symptoms worse.

[Bitsy in reply to lauralizzie]

That's interesting - there is supposed to be an issue with bacterial toxins - hope it all improves xo

When this last molar that I was supposed to have capped, and did not do it in time, half of it fell out.

Pd got worse!!

I could not get to a dentist fast enought.

The extraction site was very sore longer than 'normal.'

They put a boneimplant from a cadaver in along with my blood, to grow new bone to then put an extension in.

Putting the little screw into the bone will cost $1,700!

I don't know yet how much putting on the extention will cost.

I have had more trouble with my teeth since Pd.

[Ramuu]

I. have 4 RCs and 1 Bridge, long before PD. But I know many who have multiple RCs and Bridges from the same dental clinic  doing well

[Bitsy in reply to Ramuu]

Yes, it only takes one non example to disprove the rule xo

[Ramuu in reply to Bitsy]

Most of the cases of PD occurs in beyond 50 years of age, you know by then  99 % of the population either had tooth filling, root canals or bridges !!.   Yes , we all know either genetic mutation, pesticides, other toxins or even unknown reasons can cause PD . It is shear bad luck we are in this 1% PD population. In vedic term; it is know as  " KARMA " : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma ; I am sure all preachings have some name for this.  If we look at from other angle, we are also cause for new medicines, research, challenges put forth by creator of the universe.

[Bitsy in reply to Ramuu]

Yes you are right there, thanks for replying xo

[Donzim in reply to Ramuu]

well, as our old accountant used to say, 'What goes around, comes around'.

[Ramuu in reply to Donzim]

Absolute truth !!! ; let  us  face it  bravely !!

[Dinolulu]

My husband has had 2 or 3 root canals and 5 implants - all before being diagnosed - no abscesses or infections.

[Bitsy in reply to Dinolulu]

Thanks for replying.  That's interesting if there were no infections xo

[Bailey_Texas]

Most of the people in the world would have PD if a bad tooth causes it. 

[Bitsy]

Yes that does seem logical xo

[trumble]

Yes, one root canal as a result of a broken tooth ... but no follow up infection.

[bluiebray]

Bitsy, please post article. My husband has terrible teeth. They her repaired. They break and fall out. Etc. Etc.

Will love to read.

[Bitsy in reply to bluiebray]

I have posted it now xo

[12stargate in reply to Bitsy]

@Bitsy where is  the article?

Thanks, Eva

[bluiebray in reply to bluiebray]

Thanks for the article! Very informative.

[clajac]

My husband has perfect teeth, no fillings, no extractions, no root canals, no gum disease, no infections, heck he doesn't even have wisdom teeth! 

[Donzim]

one of the problems with PDers is that they often don't swallow all the food in their mouths, leaving it to decay.  your dentist can recommend an anti cavity toothpaste.  CoQ10 (ubiquinol) is a sure bet to avoid gum problems (an unexpected side effect).  plenty of vit  C with bioflavanoids helps in avoiding infections.

[12stargate]

I had one rootcanal before PD.

Since dx I have had 2 extractions, the second one to be an implant at an astronomical price!!

[cflloyd]

I do not see the article posted.  Would you post it again?  Thanks!

[jerisoyer8]

Yes, had many

[jerisoyer8]

I too, can't see article. Hubby had multiple root canals, gum disease, many fillings. In fact, other than his mouth problems, he was in such excellent health, he got a special life insurance policy only a few his age were able to get. I definitely think there is a link, I did think it was all the mercury, never thought bacteria. I now make home made tooth polish, and he uses peroxide in his water pic.

Here is the link again I posted it under 'everyone'. Cheers Bitsy

[margie]

I had gum infections and then implants after being diagnosed with PD.

I have had my share of dental work in my life. I am in agreement with Ramuu. We all feel the natural human reaction to blame something, or someone for our shared situation. Inside we all have our own belief of what "caused" our PD. The problem is that alone doesn't cure, or help anyone. Acceptance is the key. It by no means should make any of us roll over and die. It is the realization that all we can control of any situation, (PD included), is or own reaction to it.

TFU! While I appreciate thinking "out of the box" for solutions, I also can't believe that my PD caused my increase in hangnails or ingrown toenails!

If we find commonality in our experiences, strength in coping, and hope for the future here, we've succeeded !
