The following is a personal experience, presented here as more than a testimonial, as it comes with visual evidence.

Periodontal Disease Cured

One of the worst conditions you can experience with your teeth is Periodontal Disease.  This is basically where the gums and jawbone recede and leave your teeth NOTHING to hold them.  Many Periodontists use a "cut and flap" method to deal with this condition.  "Cut and flap" is a method of surgically cutting the gums between each tooth, on the inside and outside, and flap the now loose gum open.  Then they scrape the exposed area.  This is supposed to clean/remove the debris that has collected there and allow the gums to heal.  They claim the bone will not regrow, but orthodontists may disagree with this.  The gums are sewn closed and you go home with your pocketbook thousands of bucks shallow.

This is a report on a viable alterative.  Associated with this report is the toothpaste I developed.  Based on the hygenist's reports, this toothpaste not only cleans your mouth but also helps prevent negative effects that most people in modern society experience.

The following are comparison charts of “before” and “after” of some bad gum/bone conditions.  A 10 month window is presented.

SUMMARY
February 6, 2013
25 teeth (for 150 test sites)
  <>
            Depth of           61 sites at         >4mm  =          41%
With 6 test sights per tooth, then approximately 41% of sites on available teeth with pocket depth greater than 4mm
  <>
If we disregard the extracted teeth to normalize for December 11, 2013 comparison–
With 6 test sights per tooth, then approximately 35% of sites on available teeth with pocket depth greater than 4mm
  <>
            Recession on                22 teeth
 
            Average pocket depth              3.2mm
 
 
December 11, 2013
23 teeth (for 138 test sites)
 
            Depth of           4 sites               at         >4mm  =          3%
With 6 test sights per tooth, then approximately 3% of sites on available teeth with pocket depth greater than 4mm
 
            Recession on                none
 
            Average pocket depth              1.6mm
 
 
Approximately 91% - 93% improvement in the number of teeth now under the 4mm threshold.
 
Pocket depths of 2 & 3 are normal, with almost no one having lots of 1’s or all 1’s.
 
 
This is amazing
 
Three periodontists (just about the extent of the list in central Arkansas, as they have multiple offices in multiple cities) all wanted to cut & flap the gums, then scrape the exposed area, then sew back the flaps.  They all wanted THOUSANDS of bucks (2000-4000).  They all were heavy on the business of the matter.  As I have also learned, they would DO NOTHING about cleaning bacteria or dead tissue from the area prior to closing the flaps.  Do you see how this can lead to infection?  The procedure often is done in multiple visits, otherwise you whole mouth will be non-usable to eat or whatever for days.
 
These periodontists all said that NOTHING can be done to rebuild the damage.  If that is true, then my orthodontists (Allstat, Casey, Golden & Bost) lied when they moved my teeth.  Both practices can not be true.
 
At the last moment, I discovered a different, cross trained, dentist.  If he had not returned my call when he did, I would have been in the chair of the 3rd periodontist.  This final dentist’s cross training allows him to do regular dentistry and periodontal and dentures and other things, all in one stop.  But, the most significant part is the procedure he uses for treating the periodontal disease.  LASER.  With a little laser optic probe he goes under all the gums and burns away all the diseased tissue and bacteria and plague and whatever.  He likes to do the procedure in quadrants or half mouth, since many people are squeamish about their mouth and mentally do not like the whole mouth treatment.  I had him do the WHOLE mouth at one time and am VERY glad I did.
 
The results pictured above are after only one treatment.  My rear teeth may need one more treatment, as they were the one closest to the rotted and removed teeth (most rear).

But, are you ready for the shocker.  This revolutionary process cost only 50.00 per quandrant or 200.00 for the whole mouth.  The recovery time was minutes.

Compare 4000.00 against 2000.00, not to mention the effectiveness.

His total price when we are finished (I need to get together more funds) for treating as the 3 periodontists would AND for pulling the 2 bad teeth AND for replacing all my mercury fillings with composite (epoxy) will be LESS than the 1st three wanted for only cutting & flapping.


His assistants

Do not get me started on the office help.  They are great spirited and you feel you want to be there.

I get the impression they all want to be there and like what they are doing.


The bad news [not really]

Most people will not go to him because he is too far to go.  But I tell you surely, it is worth it as the treatment costs are lower which offset the travel and the treatment is better.  It is worth it.   Some people come from Hawaii, Washington, and other long distances.

RELATED STORIES

A friend of mine had to have 2 teeth extracted and waited till the pain was great.  Not able to bear the pain he went to a popular local North Little Rock oral surgeon on an emergency basis.  The doctor scheduled him for a week or so later.  When he went for the appointment, the doctor’s aids determined his blood pressure was too high to perform the surgery.
 
This caused another delay and afforded my friend the opportunity to contact Clark.  My friend got an appointment and traveled the distance.
 
The local NLR surgeon wanted around 1600.00.  My friend’s insurance would cover 80% up to 1000.00.  This would have left him with about 600.00 to pay.
 
Clark’s bill was about 400.00.  Insurance covered 80% (about 320.00), leaving my friend only 73.00 to pay out-of-pocket.
 
My friend was very pleased with the office crew and says the nurse was lovely.

A friend of a friend now travels from Dallas, Texas to use Clark.  Recently she realized that here neck pain was gone.  It seems that she has had neckpain for a long time and no doctor (MD, chiropractor, or other) has been able to help her.

She has concluded that the only thing she has experienced new or different is her treatments from dentist Clark.  She has had the mercury embedded fillings replaced with composites.

As soon as she provides her story in writing, it will be included here.
