FDOJ: The Hidden Jaw Issue Undermining Your Health

At The Flossery we don’t just treat teeth—we uncover hidden threats to your overall health. One of the most overlooked conditions we see is FDOJ (Fatty Degeneration of the Jaw), also known as jaw cavitations.

What is FDOJ?

FDOJ lesions are areas of dead, fatty, oxygen-deprived bone—often found where teeth were extracted or trauma occurred. These sites can silently harbor chronic inflammation and toxins, disrupting the body’s natural balance without obvious symptoms.

How does it happen?

FDOJ typically develops after:

• Tooth extractions (especially wisdom teeth) that never fully heal
• Root canal-treated teeth
• Jawbone trauma
• Chronic systemic inflammation

These areas become pockets of fatty degeneration instead of healthy bone—hidden from X-rays, yet still active below the surface.

Why it matters:

FDOJ isn’t just a jaw problem—it’s a whole-body health issue. These lesions can:

• Weaken the immune system
• Trigger systemic inflammation
• Contribute to fatigue, brain fog, or unexplained health issues

How we fix it at The Flossery:

We use advanced 3D imaging to identify these hidden lesions and perform precise, biological surgical cleanouts. This removes the diseased bone and stimulates true healing using ozone, PRF (platelet-rich fibrin), and bone regeneration protocols. We also always perform a bone biopsy to confirm the area is diseased.

The benefits?

• Reduced chronic inflammation
• Better immune function
• Improved energy and clarity
• A healthier foundation for the whole body
