Yes, the other day I told you that I miss my mom. She passed away in May of 2009 due to complication of pneumonia, but she had Alzheimer’s for more than 10 years prior to that.
I thought about her again tonight after reading an article called “Root Canal Cover Up’ by George E. Meinig, DDS, FACD (from the Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation www.ppnf.org).
Root Canal infections could be the cause of many many diseases. My mom never took care of her gums and teeth and towards the last ten years of her life or so, she gradually lost her teeth one by one. She was a very stubborn lady who stuck to her old ways and refused to heed to our advice. I read quite a bit about her sickness and I came to understand that dental problems could cause a lot of other issues on our health.
I apologize if the dramatic cook sounds grumpy tonight. But since I did not do much cooking because today is Sunday and I did quite a bit of reading – newspaper, books, bills and articles – I might as well write something close to my heart.
So folks, we do need healthy teeth to consume the yummy food that your moms put on the table. Remember, always take care of your teeth like I do – three steps before I go to bed every night – brush, floss, and rinse!
God created all the colorful and great tasting food for us to enjoy, may you all show your gratitude by doing your part – take care of your teeth and gum so you can enjoy eating – for a long time to come!
