Cavitations

Cavitations:
Hidden Infections in the Jawbone

Most people have never heard of cavitations but these hidden jawbone infections may be one of the most overlooked sources of chronic inflammation and systemic illness.

At Duo Smile, we specialize in diagnosing and treating cavitations through a whole-body lens. This isn't just oral surgery. It's part of your healing journey.

What Are Cavitations?

Cavitations (also known as NICO – Neuralgia-Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis) are areas of chronic infection in the jawbone. They often form at the site of previous tooth extractions, especially wisdom teeth or poorly healed root canal sites.

These areas can harbor bacteria, viruses, fungi, and heavy metals. They also disrupt lymphatic and energetic flow, creating systemic effects on immunity, inflammation, and even emotional well-being.

Common Symptoms Linked to Cavitations

Chronic fatigue or fogginess
Autoimmune symptoms
Digestive and hormonal imbalances
Migraines or unexplained pain
Heart palpitations, anxiety, or depression
Non-healing wounds or recurrent illness

Many of our clients say: "I've done everything and still feel unwell." Cavitations may be the missing link.

Diagnosis: 3D Imaging and Energy Testing

We use advanced 3D CBCT scans to identify bone density loss, cyst-like areas, or unhealed extraction sites. In addition to radiographic imaging, we use energetic testing methods to detect interference fields and imbalances.

This dual diagnostic approach helps us identify infections that may be missed with traditional X-rays.
