Some dental patients really do benefit from oral surgery when things have deteriorated too far. There are many other examples where surgery has a legitimate purpose. We need these technicians in society for many things, but not for half the things they impose upon us. Much of the surgery being done today is a sham, and not coincidentally, it just happens to be a sham that keeps surgeons well paid, just like it has for over a hundred years. Dr. Cotton would have been proud to see modern medicine carrying on his trademark insanity today. I can see him smiling right now, with no teeth.

There's not a conventional dentist who has looked in my mouth, for example, who didn't immediately urge me to undergo oral surgery to remove my wisdom teeth. I'm 36 years old. My teeth are fine. My jaw is fine. But my dentists are mad. Most patients would automatically say yes to such an authoritative suggestion, though. They'd agree on the spot: "Yes, I'll let you cut open my jaw and remove my teeth just because you say so!" Two decades ago it was tonsils. Half the children I grew up with, it seemed, had their tonsils surgically removed. That particular procedure was a popular medical fad.

The procedure generates lots of revenues for oral surgery (while causing considerable pain and suffering on the part of patients), but it has absolutely no rational justification, nor any real benefit, in most cases. As you'll see in the study mentioned below, published in the British Medical Journal, dental surgeries to remove asymptomatic wisdom teeth are pure bunk. The key discerning factor here, by the way, is whether wisdom teeth are asymptomatic, meaning that they show no signs of disease or discomfort. Today in the UK, it is standard policy to avoid removing asymptomatic wisdom teeth.

In anesthetic acupuncture, the needles remain in place throughout an entire procedure, such as oral surgery or childbirth. For the duration, the needles are stimulated either by the acupuncturist twirling them manually or by a mild electric current. The latest word in this area comes from China, where brain surgeons have been using acupuncture extensively and with good success. Apparently, the needling activates the body's own natural analgesic system to eliminate pain, shock and infection {Postgraduate Medicine, June, 1982).

On the one hand, the policy covered "oral surgery services" for conditions that were the result of "congenital defect or accidental injury." On the other hand, the policy stated that "all dental services, including orthodontics, are excluded." Jason hung his hat on the former provision; the insurance company hung its hat upon the latter. From the end of 1995 until the end of 1996, Jason and his insurance company exchanged letters with regularity. The insurer offered reasons for the denial. Jason knocked them down. The insurer offered new and different reasons. He knocked them down, too.

In Dentistry For more than 50 years, the healing properties of music have been implemented in dentistry and oral surgery. Wallace Gardner, D.M.D., of Boston, Massachusetts, asserts that loud, stimulating music effectively alleviated pain in 65% of his patients, and a study found that sound stimulation was the only analgesic agent required in 90% of the 5,000 dental operations performed.20 Additional research shows that due to the release of endorphins (the body's own natural painkillers), audio analgesia with dental patients is comparable in effectiveness to morphine.
