i went for a cleaning on monday which took over an hour. i guess i just forgot and hadn't been in about a year.

she was very rough and one time the cleaning tool slipped and hit a nerve. i almost came out of the chair.

that cleaning hurt.

now i think my lyme has flared. every joint is hurting much worse, trouble swallowing, headache, feet hurt, everything is worse.

plus i was so tense my shoulders and neck were absolutely rigid when i left. i could not relax.

can stuff like this cause a flare??

Yup, just simple exam causes major problems for me. Last one was so traumatic that I do not want to go back for cleaning, ever!

I should have spoken louder about the additional pain she was causing, but I didn't.

Ironically all my symptoms started a week after I had a whole mouth scaling and 5 Fillings, I hadnt gone to the dentist in like 10 yrs when that happened. All LD symptoms progressed after that. There must me some kind of connection!

YES! I acutally am going back to a dentist to have all of my teeth examined for infections. Most dentists dont go after things like this, but they can be a breading ground for bacteria and infection.

Also there are many meridian lines that go thorugh the teeth that Ive heard fillings can interfere with and cause your "energy" to not flow correctly. I've spoken to people who had this-- and alone, it was the thing making them sick :-/ Worth checking out.

Great suggestion. This tooth, jaw, face pain is unbelievable. It isn't even pleasant eating anymore.

Thanks for the tip.

i can't see what a meridian line would have to do with teeth. seems strange to me.

i'm wondering if i should start back on something like olive leaf or something since my mouth is still so sore.

The stress of the pain and aggravation of the cleaning alone could make symptoms worse. Then you add to that the stirring up of the biofilms on the teeth, fillings, etc. and then you have a recipe for relapse...

Also there are tons of pathogens that live under your gums, hence; the need to ABX for those with heart conditions.

i landed in the hospital last week, 4 hours after i had an amalgam replaced (a tiny one even).

i'm sure there were contributing factors, but this seems to offer the most logical cause.
