Cavitations (FDOJ/NICO) Treatment in Newbury Park

Uncovering Hidden Infections. Supporting Deep Healing.

At BioDental Healing, we believe that true wellness requires looking beneath the surface — especially when chronic symptoms or unexplained inflammation linger. One of the most overlooked sources of hidden infection in the body is something called a jaw cavitation, also referred to as FDOJ (Fatty Degenerative Osteonecrotic Jawbone) or NICO

(Neuralgia-Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis).

These lesions may not be visible on a standard X-ray, but they can silently contribute to fatigue, facial pain, autoimmune flares, immune system stress, and even systemic illness. That’s why evaluating for and treating cavitations is an important part of our biological and whole-body approach.

What Is a Cavitation?

A cavitation is a hollow, infected area in the jawbone — often the result of:

  • Incompletely healed tooth extractions

  • Past root canal sites

  • Areas of poor blood flow or lingering bacteria

  • Trauma or surgical complications

Unlike visible infections or abscesses, cavitations can be silent — meaning you might not feel any pain in your mouth, but may still experience symptoms elsewhere in the body.

Common Symptoms That May Be Linked to Cavitations:

  • Fatigue, brain fog, or headaches

  • Facial pain, neuralgia, or TMJ dysfunction

  • Chronic sinus issues or jaw tension

  • Immune dysfunction or inflammation

  • History of root canals or wisdom tooth extractions

If you’ve been told “everything looks fine” on X-rays, but still feel like something’s off — it could be time to go deeper.

How We Diagnose and Treat Cavitations

At BioDental Healing, we use a comprehensive, biological approach to uncover and support cavitation healing:

3D Cone Beam Imaging

We use high-resolution CBCT scans to visualize areas that traditional dental X-rays can miss — helping us assess bone density, voids, and previous surgical sites.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone gas and ozonated water are used to disinfect and oxygenate the area before, during, and after treatment — helping eliminate harmful microbes while supporting healing.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

We place PRF (from your own blood) into the site to stimulate natural tissue and bone regeneration without synthetic materials.

Biocompatibility + Immune Support

We recommend targeted supplements and immune protocols before and after cavitation surgery to help your body detox and heal smoothly.

Our Approach: Gentle. Respectful. Thorough.

Cavitation treatment is not just a dental procedure — it’s a biological process. We take our time. We coordinate with your other wellness providers. And we tailor your care to meet your body where it’s at.

You deserve answers. You deserve relief. And you deserve a team who listens when you say, “I still don’t feel right.”

We’re here to help uncover the root cause — and support you in healing from the inside out.
