For the collagen protein found in foods and most supplements to be utilized by the body, it must first be broken down many times by the digestive system, and then absorbed through the intestine into the blood in the precise form needed. Itâs then reassembled into your collagen at the proper site.he molecular weight of a batch of collagen, although expressed as a single number in daltons, is actually an average size within a range. Commercial collagens sold as food supplements today can run from 3000 daltons up to more than 50,000 daltons, depending upon processing.
A dead tooth is a tooth that does not have a nerve inside it. The nerve has died. Normally teeth DO have a nerve inside them. It's what tells you if your coffee is hot or your ice cream is cold! I usually tell my patients that a tooth is a bit like a pencil. The nerve inside the tooth is like the pencil lead, running down the inside of the tooth. It's possible for the nerve to die and shrivel up.
When your teeth are infected, this is called an odontogenic (tooth borne) abscess. When your gums are infected, it is known as a periodontal (gum related) abscess. Both are infections, but with different causes and outcomes. Odontogenic abscesses (tooth infections) happen when the nerve in one of your teeth dies. Once the nerve in a tooth dies, its natural resistance to invading germs is lost. This leaves a damp, dark environment where bacteria can feed and multiply freely. There are many causes for the nerve in one of your teeth to die. Breach of your tooth's nerve chamber by fracture or decay will kill it.
