I will use a case of a 62 yo female with intestinal methanogen overgrowth and chronic unresolved dental infections to illustrate the importance of oral abscess as a source of GI microbiome issues. Her endodontist had told her that there was no remaining infection. I had treated her for over a year with some moderate-good responses to treatment before further investigating the oral issues. The investigation was prompted by a relapse of her symptoms despite significant improvement in breath test results. On referring her for a second dental opinion, 5 areas of infection were found along with a stray bone fragment from a previous dental extraction. After just a few injections of ozone into the infected areas and removal of the bone fragment, she had total normalization of her GI and systemic symptoms.

I will demonstrate the use of a relatively simple applied kinesiology technique that I use to investigate the presence of significant dental health issues in my GI patients.
