Tooth Truth (ISBN 1887314083)

Read this book before your next dental visit:
I really regret not ordering this book before embarking on my quest to have my mercury amalgams replaced. Most dentists want to put crowns wherever they can remotely justify it. They are usually not necessary and lead to a root canal, then removal of the tooth. I had a crown placed 8 years ago, I've had nothing but problems with it, 2 years after placement, I got a root canal. That did not solve the problem. Now, they recommend I get an apicoectomy. Lovely. More money for them. That is where they go into the gum and cut off the bottom of the root canaled tooth and fill it with something to stop the infection. This would stop the problems for a while, but eventually lead to my tooth being extracted. According to Dr. Jerome, this happens more often than not. There is a very predictable sequence of events. This is what keeps dentists in business. It makes me sick to read this book after having 2 new crowns put in recently. Over $2,000. I could have saved that much by buying this book first. Make an educated decision at the dentist's office. They are very motivated to keep you on the gravy train. After reading this book, I know to take the shortcut and have the root canaled tooth removed. I can then have a partial made, thus ridding myself of the toxic dead tooth. Most of this book is about the horrors of mercury. If you need to be convinced, this book will leave you with no doubts. He explains many dental procedures and why one is better than others for certain patients. One in 5 crowned teeth dies. This puts you back on the root canal train, then the tooth extraction train. After much expense and pain. Instead of a crown, they can do inlays or composite fillings. The dentist always wants you to do a crown. They have to saw away half of your tooth to do this, that sets you on the path of destruction. Don't spend another dime at the dentist's office until you read this book.

Tooth Truth:
After having my health decline horridly, and living on antibiotics every other month for four-and-a-half years, I began to think that I'd rather be dead than continue on with the quality of life I had. I had trouble from my one and only root canal from the get-go, and the endodontist LIED by omitting the fact that HE NEVER TOOK THE FRONT ROOT OUT. My dentist was quite angry about that because he could not put a crown in with my gum irritated like that!!!!! Of course, I put $800 on the plastic to pay for the crown, it just took two years before that phase of the fiasco could unfold. FINALLY, my dentist says the (dead) tooth is in great shape and ready to crown. Why after telling him that I was sick all the time, been to an allergist and had been tested for over 200 items, been to an ENT numerous times, had CAT scans and blood work done, and no one had a clue what my "problem" was................WHY DIDN'T HE TELL ME THAT AN INFECTION MIGHT NOT SHOW UP IN AN X-RAY, or a CAT scan. I decided I was not going to take another antibiotic, since I had been living on some of the strongest a doctor can prescribe, and stil would become ill within 30-60 days anyway. When I called my dentist and said that I had ruled out every possible illness, and wanted the tooth out, he agreed. THEN, two days later his wonderful receptionist (I had been going to this dentist for 9 years) calls and says, I'm sorry but Dr.***** has a bad feeling about this, and can NOT remove " A PERFECTLY GOOD TOOTH IN GOOD CONSCIENCE." I would have thought that the appropriate time to invoke "Good Conscience" would have been two years before that when I was struggling with the root canal for two years already. Bottom line, a very compassionate, and gifted Oral Surgeon extracted it just sixteen days ago, and my symptoms of no energy, muscle cramps, and pain in my liver have greatly decreased. AS FOR THE CONSTANT HEADACHES, EYE DISCHARAGE, SORE THROAT, AND EARACHES...................THEY ARE COMPLETELY GONE. I bought this book for my family, and will NEVER TRUST A DENTIST AGAIN IN MY LIFE.

Poorly written and hard to stay with it:
This book is so poorly written you doubt right off that it was written by an educated person that holds a D.D.S. A lot of the information is incorrect and not well researched. There are far better books covering the same subject that are much better reading and contain more accurate research and data. This book is a JOKE to the publishing industry.

Who is the one trying to take money from you:
If anybody is trying to steal money from customers its the author of this book, not dentists. Talk about scare tactics, this book is full of mislead facts and ideas that have no basis. To have a tooth removed instead of trying to retain it with a rootcanal and crown is a one way road to eating cream corn for the rest of your life.

The ONE and ONLY dentistry book that needs TO BE READ!:
The pure truth comes out of this writting that Fank Jerome has witnessed while in the dentistry for many years. Very easy to read even for someone who doesn't know anything about dentistry to start with. Read it over and over, and over, if you need to. So many scam-bags out there that you've got to watch yourself (and your money) out of. Once the tooth is destroyed with Root canal or Crown, no going back... Biggest sellers for dentists. Not to mention the health problems that WILL arise from it down the road. Stick with the simplest treatment that you need. If tooth is abcessed-TAKE IT OUT. Do not be putting root canals and crowns to a dead tissue that you're body is fighting against and making and infection, which you can't feel-since you're sense is gone out of it. SAY NO to any kind of metal especially amalgam, gold filligns, nickel crowns, etc. USE ONLY composites proven to be compatible with your body (look into Clifford Institute for testing). You're reading this from first my hand experience. First and foremost priority for Jerome is customers (Yours) health, not the dentists pushing treatment. This has happen over and over to me while going to different dentists. If you've ever touched up on Dr. Hulda Clarks materials you'll see the correlation between the two authors. I respect her and Jerome greatly! Find a GOOD capable dentist to do your work and stick - I mean hold your guns to the principles in this book. It will save your life! (not to mention money). Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for!
