\"teeth<\/a>I just signed up for dental insurance in case my sinus toothache of two days is not just sinus. It cost me $164 a year with Delta Dental. Glad to see they are top rated.<\/a>\u00a0 Here\u2019s a Tooth Meridian Chart To See The Oral and Systemic Connection<\/a>, click on which tooth hurts to see what body organs and systems are affected.\u00a0 When you’re checking your teeth against the tooth meridian chart, remember you may have had your wisdom teeth out. I had mine out when I was 16 and, like me, you may also have had your second molars out at the same time. I have 12 up and 12 down, I can’t imagine where the others would have fit. I guess that’s why the extraction.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I flossed two nights ago and the floss got pink. Maybe it’s nothing but heck, these are my teeth and they hafta last me another 63 years! The bf last night gave me a pack of G-U-M Soft Picks,<\/a> which are really cool! They don’t fit between all the teeth (which is good) but it didn’t come out pink.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A friend said she used The Natural Dentist Healthy Gums Antigingivitis Rinse<\/a> (Walmart carries it also) for 3 days and her gums got 80% better.\u00a0 My gums haven’t bled again but I’ll schedule a dental exam.<\/p>\n

Writer Marlene Buffa http:\/\/www.WordsOfMind.com<\/a> had the best suggestion, \u201cI get my teeth cleaned at the dentist\u2019s office every six weeks. Heart disease runs in my family. Plaque<\/a> clogs up the arteries. If you grow plaque in your mouth, you grow it in your body. Whatever happens in your mouth, happens in your body. Eliminate plaque and gum problems (inflammation and infection) and you reduce the likelihood of cardiac and other problems.<\/span><\/span> With my family history, I’m happy to spend an hour with hygienist every six weeks instead of needing to get my chest cracked open for heart surgery later on.”<\/span><\/p>\n

World famous surgeon and author Bernie Siegel weighed in<\/a>, when asked about the corelation of dental plaque and heart disease, ” \u201cyes there is a correlation with heart disease etc. we all die some day so do what makes you happy. love and care for yourself but don\u2019t become obsessive about not dying. work at enjoying living then your body fights disease as it was meant to do and you\u2019re not upset about all the dentist visits which didn\u2019t save your teeth and life.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0 Thank you Bernie<\/a> for reminding us what\u2019s really important.<\/p>\n
