The document discusses the use of dental thermal imaging at the Thermogram Center in Colorado, highlighting its ability to detect potential tooth infections and link them to broader health issues. It presents various case studies illustrating how thermal imaging identified dental problems that led to significant health interventions, including connections to sinus issues and even heart disease. The center does not provide diagnoses but recommends further evaluation by dental professionals based on the imaging findings.

4. * The Thermogram Center (TTC) is not a
treatment or diagnosing center. The
following images were acquired at The
Thermogram Center and
analyzed/interpreted by its interpretive
service provider. Any treatment or
diagnoses obtained thereafter was
through the client’s health provider(s).

5. TTC’s Thermal Imaging
TTC’s camera maps 76,000+ temperature readings to
0.06°C sensitivity and 1.3mrad spatial resolution, with
images in B+W, reversed B+W, and color
Each image has a built-in scale in Celsius
– The higher the color, the higher the temperature
– The lower the color, the lower the temperature
Thermal patterns of the left should be somewhat
symmetrical to the right
– Distal body parts are colder, i.e. noses, ear lobes
– Proximal body parts are hotter, i.e. eye sockets, inner ear;
scalenes and SCM can be “tight” and hotter
Temperature differences that exceed 1ºC can be
significant

6. TTC’s Thermal Imaging
Teeth, glands, and organs should be operating
at relatively the same temperature and should
NOT stand out on images.
– When intense excess heat exhibits on a jaw with
apparent lymphatic inflammation, it can result from
tooth infection, among other causes.
– When a little excess heat exhibits on a jaw, it can
result from stress, irritation or inflammation from TMJ
muscle tightness, clenching or grinding, bite
misalignment/occlusion, cracked/chipped tooth, deep
gum pocket, among other causes.

7. About Sinus Drainage
Prior to 2010’s Colorado Summer wildfires,
about half of all clients exhibited sinus/lymphatic
drainage, typically draining bilaterally below the
nostrils and down the canine regions under the
chin and into the neck.
Post wildfires... 99% of all clients exhibit such
signs.
The majority of clients have no awareness of
such drainage, which can be caused by
pollutants, food/chemical sensitivities, allergies,
infections including mold, fungus, yeast,
parasites, microbes, viruses, bacteria, etc.

8. About Tooth Findings
Over the past 11 years, over 7,750 imaging
sessions have been provided to men, women
and children:
– Thermal findings suggesting the possibility of tooth
infection has exceeded findings suggesting highest
risk for breast cancer by a substantial amount,
perhaps 50:1.
– Each Face Series is made up of 7 views (each in 3
color schemes): anterior neck with head tilted back,
anterior and bilateral face, and open-mouth anterior
and bilateral face.
– When thermal findings present possible areas of
concern for teeth, clients are recommended to seek
further evaluation with an appropriate dental
professional.

11. Sinus Infection
Regarding the top and bottom images at left:
This 51 year old female had no symptoms in
the teeth, mouth, cheek, sinuses, or head.
Imaging revealed temperatures 3.95ºC warmer
on the left cheek than on the right cheek.
This thermal pattern was consistent with
infection/inflammation, and prompted the client
to consult her ENT Doctor who prescribed oral
antibiotics.
Regarding the top and bottom images at right:
One month later, the images on the right
resulted, consistent with resolution.
Note the change in cheek patterns, going from
very asymmetrical to relatively symmetrical in
just one month’s time.

12. Severe Sinus Infection
This 56 year old female
had complaints of chronic
lower back pain and
asthma.
While she had no idea
she may have severe
sinus and/or tooth
infections, her thermal
imaging strongly suggests
it.

13. Cracked Tooth... Early Infection
This 45 year old female had a complaint
with an upper right front tooth. Her dental
hygienist indicated that all was well.
During an imaging appointment in 2008,
thermal findings consistent with mild oral
infection were revealed.
Still symptomatic and with her thermal
imaging report, she requested that her
dentist conduct a thorough exam.
The dentist found that the tooth was
cracked and that infection had developed
under the tooth that required care and a
crown.
She later reported that the tooth feels
much better.

14. Root Canal... Infection
This female had no concerns regarding her oral health. Note the significant
heat/thermal finding at "B", which is consistent with an active lymph node, among
other things. In the event of an underlying tooth infection, she sought dentistry to
determine the cause of this finding. Dental xray of tooth #18 indicated abnormality at
"C", consistent with infection. This tooth had previously undergone root canal and was
crowned. Months of treatment to improve the health of the tooth proved unsuccessful,
and the tooth was extracted. After extraction, a contributing factor/likely cause of
infection was observed: a long/vertical fracture/crack at "D". Note the soft tissue
infection between the roots on the opposite side of the tooth at "E".

15. Root Canal.... Infection...Heart Attack?
This 72 year old male had experienced
innumerable root canals and decades of
dental work which was completed in 1998.
When thermally imaged in 2009, he was
free of symptoms or concerns for his teeth
and therefore surprised when his thermal
imaging revealed signs consistent with
dental issues and infection.
Afterwards, he obtained a second opinion from a dentist very experienced with
diagnosing/treating infections. Not only were three tooth infections diagnosed,
but this male also learned that tooth #18 could have contributed to his heart
attack two years earlier.

16. Wisdom Teeth Extraction... Cavitation...
Lymphatic Drainage
This 54 year old female reported depleting energy levels and concern for developing
auto-immune disorders if the source of her chronic fatigue could not be resolved.
Her thermal imaging revealed signs consistent with potential dental issues and
infection with lymphatic involvement/drainage into the chest. Note the excess heat
and thermal patterns along the left chest. While her follow-up tests were normal for
the breast, her dentist diagnosed 2 cavitations in her right jaws - in wisdom teeth
sockets where the teeth had been extracted twenty years earlier.

17. Tooth infection... Breast Cancer?
This 46 year old female used thermal imaging in 2010 after having had a
mastectomy just over a year earlier. While she hadn’t understood that many
teeth can effect the breast, her thermal imaging and tooth+organ chart revealed
to her the possibility of a back molar infection and breast connection.
In the upper right image, lymphatic drainage from the right side of the mouth into
the chest is apparent.

18. A Lifetime Without Tooth Brushing
This 60 year old male was recommended for thermal imaging in 2011 by his mother.
His history included gall bladder removal in 1980, 2005 nasal surgery to stop snoring,
2006 back surgery with pain and numbness in the back and front of thighs, occasional
tooth pain, and heart attack in 2007 resulting in a stint.
While he had never brushed his teeth and used only toothpicks, his mother called our
center days after imaging to thank us profusely and informing us that he had begun
brushing his teeth and had scheduled an appointment to see a dentist.
