Jawbone Cavitations: The Overlooked Dental Condition Impacting Whole-Body Health

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda discusses jaw bone cavitations, emphasizing their misunderstood nature and the updated understanding by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT).

Jawbone cavitations are areas of dead or dying bone tissue in the jaw, often caused by tooth removal, root canals, or infections. In Dr. Sanda’s experience, after a jawbone cavitation surgery on patients with chronic fatigue and inflammation, they often experience relief across symptoms. She explains that the IAOMT has proposed a new name for this condition and reviews the condition’s history of different naming conventions. Dr. Sanda then describes how cavitations are diagnosed, why they are often missed, and what technology is needed to detect them. For those suffering from unexplained chronic health issues, investigating if jawbone cavitation is a factor may be a good next step.

Call our office at (310) 275-4180 to find out more about cavitations!
