IABDM 40th Anniversary – Friday & Saturday March 28-29, 2025 GENERAL SESSIONS (Non-Member)

In this course, participants will learn the importance of addressing the neighboring craniofacial ganglia after dental drilling or surgery. This will include teaching the phenomenon of how through ipsilateral axonal transport these structures share any toxic oral overload; the diagnosis of these neurofascial ganglia through locating, or “therapy localizing,” them, using surface anatomy; and the most effective treatments of these “little brains” after dental procedures. The very different points of view of acute treatment by the allopathic (conventional) medical community and the holistic medical/biological dental communities will be contrasted. Additionally, the biochemistry of acute inflammation, the effects of over-stretching the TMJ, and the myotactic reflex rule will also be covered. Finally, there will be a demonstration, and then a brief ten-minute workshop period during this talk, where participants can practice locating and treating a ganglion bilaterally with an isotonic homeopathic remedy.

1. Participants will understand the importance of both diagnosing and treating craniofacial ganglia promptly after dental drilling.
2. They will further understand the concept that these ganglia not only function as “little brains” in the peripheral nervous system, but also how through axonal transport these structures typically take on any toxic overload in the oral cavity and therefore act as chronic storage centers as well.
3. Finally, it should be reaffirmed to all participants that in holistic medicine and biological dentistry we are masters at treating acute inflammation effectively, and therefore are much less prone to initiating chronic inflammation and infection after our treatments—in stark contrast to the philosophy and practices of conventional allopathic medicine and dentistry.

Nitric oxide is a critical signaling molecule responsible for regulating blood pressure, neurotransmission and immune function. Loss of nitric oxide production is the earliest event in the onset and progression of cardiovascular disease and many other age-related diseases. The link between oral health and cardiovascular disease is well known. Patients with poor oral hygiene, periodontal disease and gingivitis have increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. Research over the past decade has revealed that oral commensal bacteria are responsible for nitric oxide production. Disruption of oral bacteria through antiseptic mouthwash or overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria leads to a loss of nitric oxide production. This lecture will describe pathways of nitric oxide production, revelations of nitric oxide-producing bacteria, and discussions of how dental medicine professionals can incorporate nitric oxide diagnostics and therapies in their practice.

1. Understand nitric oxide production and signaling in the human body

What causes dental decay and dental deformities (crowded and crooked teeth)? Weston A. Price’s work  studied traditional peoples, he found fourteen groups who had perfect dental health: wide dental palates and little or no decay. Traditional diets are discussed, and when abandoned, had devasting results.

Objective:

Describes Price’s work.

1. Show main characteristics of healthy traditional diets.
2. Show sources of fat-soluble vitamins.
3. Show how to have healthy children.

We used mercury for years, but it was toxic, we had composites with BPA, but it was toxic, we suggested fluoride, but it was toxic. Dentists suggested sugar-free drinks to find out the artificial sweeteners were toxic.   Discuss general anesthetics and nitrous oxide.
