Big Pharms’ Fall: Untold Dental History

Ron Carlson

An aspect of general infection theory was the focal theory of infection that asserted that “dental foci” could impact the general health of humans.  That these small entities known as bacteria could migrate to other parts through the circulatory system of the body and set up foci of that infection in other organs or tissues, was well accepted by most.

Dr. Hunter of the London Fever clinic addressed the McGill graduating class in medicine in about 1910 using the term Oral Sepsis and the need to be vigilant about patients’ oral hygiene.  He asserted that many chronic infectious illnesses are remedied by simply hygiene of the mouth, good nutrition, or removal of septic teeth and gums, our dental hardware too.
