Expense issues often overtake health concerns when considering dentistry procedures. Take a look at John Lennon. His tooth went at Omega Auctions for a whopping £19000! Now that’s one expensive tooth!
John had given this tooth to his former housekeeper Dot Jarlett asking her to dispose of it after he supposedly pulled the tooth out in his own kitchen! The tooth ended up for auction given by his housekeeper’s son Barry Jarlett.
There are two interesting facts here:
1. The tooth sold for such an enormous amount and…
2. The fact that he had taken this tooth out by himself in his own kitchen!
This tells us a great deal about the state of his mouth. He must have had terrible gum problems needing urgent gum disease treatment. Also, if a tooth is loose enough to be able to be pulled out by the owner then it must have advanced gum disease. Mouths that commonly have gum problems also have associated dental decay. Doesn’t sound like he was a regular dental visitor…
This issue highlights existing problems in the general population of UK:
Did you know researchers have found that people with gum disease are almost twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease?
Over 80% of Britain’s population has gum disease. Are you a part of this statistic?
Research has shown, and experts agree, that there is an association between periodontal diseases (irreversible gum disease) and other chronic inflammatory conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, treating inflammation (reversible gum disease) with gum disease treatment may not only help manage diseases of the mouth but may also help with the management of other chronic inflammatory conditions.

Bioglass Repairs Tooth Enamel These small balls are made from calcium phosphate glass, which is biodegradable.
When teeth are brushed with toothpaste containing them, they fill in areas of damaged enamel or areas where the gum has started to retract from the tooth.
