Laser Cavitation Treatment
What are Cavitations?A cavitation is a hole in the bone usually where a tooth has been extracted and the bone has not filled in properly. When a tooth is being extracted, in what has been normal dental procedure, the surrounding periodontal membrane is usually left behind. Theoretically, when a tooth has been pulled, the body will eventually fill in the space in the bone where the tooth once was. But when the membrane is left behind, an incomplete healing can take place which leaves a hole or a spongy place inside the jaw bone. Experts speculate that perhaps this is because the bone cells on either side sense the presence of the periodontal membrane and "think" that the tooth is still there. What's Hiding Inside?Inside a cavitation, bacteria flourish and deviant cells multiply. Cavitations act as a breeding ground for bacteria and their toxins. Research has shown these bacterial waste products to be extremely potent. Cavitations can also cause blockages on the body's energy meridians and can exert far-reaching impact on the overall system. Investigation has revealed that some cavitations are reservoirs of huge amounts of mercury. Cavitations may be a source of low level or high level stress on the entire body. Diagnosing cavitations is an elusive process because cavitations do not always readily appear on X-rays. Sometimes they show up only as very subtle differentiations in the texture pattern of the bone. If your dentist is not specifically looking for cavitations, then your X-ray will be read as looking "just fine." There are other ways to discover cavitation sites. For example, they will sometimes cause pain when the area is slightly stroked or when pressure is applied. TreatmentFollowing an extraction of a tooth, the body can only if heal the "socket" or extraction site has a cavitation procedure done which is performed with lasers in our office. There are far too many toxins, viruses, bacteria and generalized deteriorated tissue remaining after an extraction to insure proper biological healing. Low level laser light therapy gives the body the ability to completely heal without complications or compromises. Healthy bone results from a healthy environment which facilitates healing. This method of treatment has proven to be the most effective in holistic dental practices. Our goal is to avoid more invasive surgical procedures.
