Learn about jaw cavitations, how they affect your oral and overall health, and the biologic treatments that can provide relief and healing.

Heal Hidden Jaw Issues and Restore Your Health

Jaw cavitations are a silent yet significant threat to both oral and systemic health, often going undiagnosed despite their profound impact. At Rejuvenation Dentistry, we specialize in identifying and treating these hidden areas of dead or infected bone with a biologic approach that prioritizes your well-being. Led by Dr. Gerry Curatola, a pioneer in biologic dentistry, our team uses advanced, non-toxic techniques to address cavitations, reduce inflammation, and restore balance to your body. If chronic pain, infections, or unexplained health concerns are affecting your quality of life, relief starts here.

What Are Cavitations?

Cavitations are hidden areas of dead or infected bone within the jaw that often go undetected but can significantly impact both oral and systemic health. These areas are typically caused by trauma, improper tooth extractions, or infections that haven’t fully healed, leaving pockets of decay or necrosis. While cavitations may not always present obvious symptoms, they can harbor harmful bacteria, fungi, and toxins, contribute to chronic inflammation, and potentially lead to systemic health issues.

At Rejuvenation Dentistry, we take a biologic approach to identifying and treating cavitations, using advanced diagnostics and non-toxic techniques to restore health and vitality. Treating these hidden issues not only alleviates jaw pain or discomfort but also supports your body’s natural healing processes, reducing inflammation and enhancing your overall well-being.

Why Treat Cavitations?

Untreated cavitations pose significant risks to both oral and systemic health. The accumulation of bacteria and toxins within the lesions can contribute to chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and the development of serious conditions like autoimmune diseases, heart disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Treating cavitations is essential not only for relieving hidden infections but also for improving overall health and vitality.

Our Biologic Approach to Cavitations

Rejuvenation Dentistry uses Dr. Curatola’s 4-step protocol to deliver safe, effective care. This approach ensures both immediate relief and long-term health benefits.

Comprehensive Assessment: Advanced imaging and diagnostics pinpoint the presence and extent of cavitations.
Pathology Sampling: This step helps identify specific pathogens and informs a targeted treatment plan.
Disinfection and Debridement: Harmful bacteria and necrotic tissue are carefully removed using biologic, minimally invasive techniques.
Bone Regeneration: Biocompatible materials and growth factors promote natural healing and restore structural integrity.
