(NaturalHealth365) The National Institutes of Health report that chronic pain – the most common cause of long-term disability in America – affects more people than heart disease, diabetes and cancer combined. In fact, according to Dr. Gerald H. Smith, dental distortions – which cause a barrage of faulty neurologic input into the nervous system – are an often overlooked cause of chronic pain, and can trigger a variety of miseries, including migraine headaches, back pain, facial pain and even vertigo.

An integrated healthcare approach including dental revisions, Dr. Smith maintains, can play an important role in curing debilitating chronic pain.

Don’t let conventional dentistry ruin your life. On the next NaturalHealth365 Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Dr. Gerald Smith, renowned international expert on cranio-mandibular somatic disorders and chronic pain, will reveal how common dental procedures can cause a host of physical problems, including migraines, infections, vertigo, crippling lower back pain, ringing in the ears plus much more.

Conventional dentistry neglects one important fact about pain and disease

According to Dr. Smith, conventional dentistry seems to ignore one important concept: the fact that the teeth are connected to the skull. “The skull bones possess a micro-motion, which can distort from orthodontic forces applied to the teeth,” Dr. Smith reports. In fact, distortions of the upper jaw can cause a stretching stimulus to the blood vessels of the dural membrane – with pain as the inevitable result. Plus, notes Dr. Smith, the chronic pain from dural membrane tensions is notoriously resistant to conventional drug therapy.

In addition to headaches and facial pain, jaw imbalances and related dural tensions can cause asthma, allergies and respiratory problems.

Remember, problems from dental issues can extend to other parts of the body. According to Dr. Smith, maloccusions, improperly aligned teeth and even ill-fitting dentures can cause cranial lesions, upper cervical instability and accompanying changes in the spine, sacrum and pelvis – leading to a chain of chronic pain symptoms and dysfunction.

The good news: removing tension patterns within the skull can relieve pain. To achieve this, Dr. Smith uses an innovative system of advanced lightwire functionals, or ALF, to relieve compression and twisting of the skill. Upon cranial adjustment, relief can be drastic and nearly instantaneous – with some patients claiming 90 percent relief almost immediately.

Root canal-treated teeth and improper extractions can be a recipe for disease

Unfortunately, root canal-treated teeth can be a source of infection – as well as chronic pain. According to Dr. Smith, a root canal tooth is simply “an embalmed organ which creates a constant source of inflammation.” Consequences can include hidden, or occult, infections, particularly from cytomegalovirus – which can hide in the dentinal tubules of the dead tooth and then migrate to the middle or inner ear, causing vertigo.

In addition, the site of improperly performed dental extractions can act as a reservoir for infection, releasing toxic waste and pathogens via the lymphatic system into the rest of the body.

Rather than treat with antibiotics, which are ineffective against viruses, Dr. Smith opts for natural antibacterial agents such as Cat’s Claw, an herb from the Amazonian rain forest. Other natural treatments include ionic silver, noni, probiotics, oregano oil and vitamin C – preferably from natural food-based sources.

Keep in mind, conventional drug therapies will NEVER address the root cause of disease. On the next NaturalHealth365 Talk Hour, we’ll offer real solutions for serious health problems.
