If you haven’t watched Parts 1 and 2 of my interview with Dr
, do that first before tuning into Part 3:Jessica wound out further on the hotly-contested topic of root canals, including sharing her observation that the need for root canals among her patients exploded after the roll-out of the experimental COVID injections; and her speculations on the complex links between problematic root canals and chronic illnesses.
Other reader questions that Jessica addressed:
Can bone used in dental implants transmit spike protein?
How can amalgam fillings be removed safely?
Why do teeth discolour and become stained, and what is the best method of stain removal?
What ingredients should, and shouldn’t be, in toothpaste?
Are there nanotech components in dental anaesthesia?
Is there a ‘bolus effect’ with dental injections?
Is fluoride absorbed through the skin?
Is gum grafting worth your while… and can recessed gums grow back on their own?
Is there really such a thing as brushing your teeth too hard?
Is oil pulling effective?
What is a sinus lift, and should you have one during the implant process?
Should sealants be used on children’s teeth?
Is xylitol chewing gum good for dental health?
We also discussed the vital importance of chewing fibrous foods to dental health and airway function, and the effect of coffee consumption on both tooth decay and staining.
Finally, Jessica summarised her advice for raising children to have healthy teeth and well-functioning airways.
Here’s the chart from Jessica’s Unpacking Truth substack that shows rates of decline of tooth decay in countries that do and don’t add fluoride to drinking water:
Here are some studies on oil pulling:
Effect of oil pulling in promoting oro dental hygiene: A systematic review of randomized clinical trials: While noting the short duration of all clinical trials on oil pulling, the reviewers cautiously concluded that the practice may have benefits for oral and dental health.
Effect of oil pulling on plaque induced gingivitis: a randomized, controlled, triple-blind study: Oil pulling with sesame oil was about as effective as chlorhexidine mouthwash in reducing counts of bacteria associated with dental decay.
Effect of safflower oil on the protective properties of the in situ formed salivary pellicle: Oil pulling with safflower oil increased the loss of calcium and phosphate from teeth, indicating decreased protecting from acid after oil pulling.
Massive thanks to Jessica for sharing her experience and wisdom with me, and all my readers. Please do follow her
