cervical resorption. cbct. dr. i. in 2018

or dr. iketa.

Right so i apparently have something called cervical resorption. in my teeth/tooth. no it doesn’t have to do w/ my spinal column. ‘cervical’ actually means ‘neck’. like a narrowing, of something. like a neck of a bottle. [btw ‘cervical’ comes from cervix’.]. so basically what it means is that. well it’s the process by which something is reabsorbed. thank you that’s helpful. either that or. the absorption of the circulation cells or tissue. and there is. gum tissue so. yeah.

so basically. there weren’t any exterior symptoms. which is weird. [well no one can see most of their own brain other then their eyes. but back in jan. when i got my concussion i knew something was wrong.].

oh ok. so it’s near the gumline, or neckline. cervical.
and it happens when. part of the anatomy of the tooth is well lost. due to. the innate [meaning natural. i thought it meant central] capacity to remove mineralized tissue. oh so it’s a disease. so the tooth is like a door i guess. metaphorically. and the um. part of the anatomy of the tooth. that was like. outside bc it was infected [yes and this is why i’m on meds] like. well the abscess was on the outside of the gum. the gum being the ‘door’ rather not the tooth. and so. well that part that now outside is now. inside.
oh wait. no i get it now. so. firstoff people don’t catch colds from being in the cold. [no that’s how a person gets hypothermia.]. what actually happens is. The reason more people get sick in winter is bc. they’re inside more then they are outside. and if one person has a cold and that person and 20 others are in rm. then those 20 others would get it as well. kindof like what’s happening w/ me. only. it’s inside my own mouth.
ok so then...............well dental enamel is a form of tissue. but. no it is on the tooth. i just can’t actually detect it. myself.
so i’m guessing...........that apparently mineralized tissue on teeth isn’t good.
so then. the meds help the abscess but they don’t get rid of it exactly. oh.............. they’re just helping things not to be as bad. ok. yeah i get that. but that doesn’t tell me much about mineralized tissue. i don’t quite understand.

um. ok.

Right so i mentioned the CBCT scan. well that’s the type. where the person is sitting and the machine is like the eye dr. machine. ok good cause the other type is the donut machine used for MRIs and stuff. and i don’t like being flat on my back. i don’t have an issue w/ x rays. my only requirement is there be a woman assistant in the rm. [unless it’s being performed by a woman in which case.].

I mentioned dr. I. iketa. a question i have for him is. does he, personally, prescribe meds? [cause i probably have more dental work coming up soon. not i mean not. in the next wk. but yeah.]. and if he does then what are the reasons he wouldn’t. cause apparently my dentist wouldn’t.
