Pain From Dental Surgery, Novocain

[2013]

[Aajonus]

Well, you don't really need anything. If you want to, you could take some ice and put it on there, that's about the best thing to numb it if you want to do that. But because he has the waters jet, the bit doesn't get hot.

When I had all of my amalgams removed, I had 16 teeth that had amalgams in it, so I had removed 8 one day and 8 the next day. It was four hours of drilling each day and there was no water jet in those days. So, that bit would get real hot, it would burn the nerve, so I had a signal, I'd tap his elbow or something to get him to stop, cool the bit and then go back in.

But I didn't use any Novocain, anything for that. It's pretty traumatic, but when you don't use an anesthetic, the pain's gone in about 6 - 7 hours, 12 hours maximum. If you get any kind of anesthetic, Novocain, Xylocaine, any of them, it causes swelling for months in that tooth and surrounding area.

[Attendee]

There's a direct correlation between Xylocaine and breast cancer.

[Aajonus]

And also heart attacks.

[Attendee #2]

From what?

[Aajonus]

From dental anesthetic. More people, when they're seeing a physician, get a heart attack from dental work, from anesthetic.

[Attendee #3]

How do you remove the anesthetic?

[Aajonus]

It takes years and years and years and years and years. For one injection, it takes about 6 years to get rid of all the poisons cause it's injected and goes into the bone and the hardened tissue, it's hard to get rid of.

It's responsible for almost all mouth cancer.

[Kathy]

So Novocains are the cause?

[Aajonus]

Novocain, Xylocaine, all of them.

[Attendee #2]

What about Demerol?

[Aajonus]

Well, Demerol, that's conducive to brain cancer and pancreatic cancer.

[Attendee #3]

How do you handle the pain?

[Aajonus]

Well, that's why I like this dentist. He's so gentle, he's slow, I took Jeff Slay a couple of months ago to him, and he had cavities between two of his molars. So, he had to drill down in both tooth teeth, good part of the tooth as well right down to the nerve. Even bled and Jeff didn't feel the thing. No, Novocains, didn't feel anything.

He nicked Jeff's nerve, he said he barely felt it cuz the water jet is cool. It cools the area and keeps the nerve contracted, when it expands and swells, that's when you have pain.

[Attendee #3]

So, what about when you get crowns installed?

[Aajonus]

Well, you're not hitting a nerve if you're getting a crown.

[Attendee #3]

No, I'm talking about, like a crowns a good idea because you have to glue to the tooth, right?

[Aajonus]

Well, when I had those teeth done, I had to have five caps on them, cuz there was so much tooth gone. And when they popped out, I took beeswax and I took a round edge of the spoon and I pressed them on a plate and I put that inside just so it fit in just fine fit inside the cap, put it on and I bit down on each one of them. When I went back to have them removed, he couldn't remove them. And the ones that had been put on with glue popped right off. But the ones that I had put on with beeswax, he couldn't get them off. He worked for one hour just getting one of them off.

[Attendee #3]

So, you can have them put with-

[Aajonus]

He won't do it. A dentist won't do that. But that's what I did when they popped out.

[Fred]

Why didn't you just leave it on then if it was so hard to get off?

[Aajonus]

The metal, the chip, it was like 25 years old, 20, 25 years old, so all of the porcelain had chipped off of the metal and I could taste the metal, so I didn't want that contamination in my mouth 24 hours a day. Well, boy, that one was a really hard one. That was the first one I put on with beeswax.

[Attendee #3]

When you do have even a plastic crown infused to high noble metal?

[Aajonus]

No, no. I've used a porcelain on a cap, I wouldn't use plastic on a cap. Just in a filling.

[Attendee #3]

So, a crowns need to be porcelain?

[Aajonus]

Yes.

[Attendee #3]

So, when you have pure porcelain, is that okay?

[Aajonus]

Well, what they do is they have pure porcelain, they want to take most of your tooth away.

[Attendee #3]

So, you're saying that then if you're gonna have a crown, it's best to have porcelain infused to high noble metal?

[Aajonus]

To gold.

[Attendee #3]

So, that's the best thing. Why?

[Aajonus]

Because gold doesn't deteriorate as easily and you don't have to get rid of much as much tooth.

[Attendee #3]

The thing is, you are saying that it can be infused to pure gold?

[Aajonus]

No, no, no, no. Pure gold is too soft, but it's completely covered by porcelain.

[Attendee #3]

So, it's basically, high noble metal is a mixture of gold, tin, aluminum.

[Aajonus]

No, tin they can't use. Tins is highly poisonous.

[Attendee #3]

So, it's aluminum?

[Aajonus]

Aluminum, some type of stainless steel and gold.

[Attendee #3]

So, then that's okay?

[Aajonus]

Yeah.

[Attendee #3]

That metal is not going directly on the gums.

[Aajonus]

Shouldn't if it's a good crown.

[Attendee #3]

And so what was the reason not to have pure porcelain?

[Aajonus]

Because they have to take so much tooth away, they crack and chip very easily. Porcelain is not strong.

[Attendee #3]

But you're saying it's not toxic to the body to have porcelain infused to high noble metal? It's not toxic?

[Aajonus]

You've got enough porcelain over it. Over the metal. But if it started liking mine would start chipping away, then my metal was exposed. My acids in my mouth, cuz they're much higher cause I had the vagotomy. So, the acids that used to be in my stomach are in my mouth.

That's when my teeth just deteriorate. Well, the three injections-

[Attendee]

What did you call that? You had a vagotomy?

[Aajonus]

Vagotomy pyeloplasty on my stomach when I was 20.

You have all these vagus nerves that are attached to the stomach and that helps generate hydrochloric acid into the stomach All of mine were severed at 20 years old in that stomach surgery, so a lot of my acids back up into the mouth.

[Attendee #3]

You could taste that?

[Aajonus]

Oh yeah. But it's not good for the teeth, eats away at the teeth.

[Attendee #3]

So, what did you have to have done?

[Aajonus]

I just have to rinse my mouth with milk after I eat and stuff like that to make sure acids don't build up.
