Yes, Soda leaches calcium from your bones - that is true.
And Theresa - that is right about teeth. Maintaining your natural teeth will keep the bone that surrounds them functioning and in tact. The body "tells" the bone it is needed. (To hold the tooth/maintain the tooth and also the pressure from the chewing process)
Without teeth the bone will wither (resorb) away due to not having a function. Even dentures with pressure from chewing will not keep the bone in tact and will not prevent continued resorption.
The good news for keeping your teeth is that you will maintain some of the structure of your facial area (maxilla and mandible) ... More so than someone who loses their teeth.
My thoughts about maintaining face structure with the pressure reps and jolting are this: First the physiology of why it should work: Just like exercising the body, when you stimulate bone (with pressure or tension, etc) it reacts. In a positive state bone will remodel and the oseoblasts (bone builders) will go into production and lay down bone. With the exercise of the facial bones, the hope is to stop or at least decrease the loss of bone.
On the less optimistic side -even with pressure you'll never keep the bone completely at what it was (at least I don't see how). When you consider the teeth compared to dentures - there is a limited amount as to what pressure will do. I do believe those who have dentures will maintain a little better bone than those who never use a denture. Still not the same as nature.
I think manipulating bone, tissue, muscle is a very positive way to keep blood flow healthy and to slow bone loss. (as well as building the muscle fiber which will help accomodate the loss of bone and fat). |
