George E. Meinig, DDS

Dr. George E. Meinig, DDS, was an expert in the areas of nutrition, root canal therapy, oral surgery, periodontal (gum) disease, temporomandibular joint disturbances (TMJ), gnathology (full mouth reconstruction), and acupuncture therapy. His fascination with nutrition and its connection to oral health led him to become an active proponent and member of the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation.

Dr. George Meinig invested over 30 years in continuing the work of the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, beginning his tenure as a member of the Board of Directors in 1968. During Dr. Meinig’s association with PPNF, he spent 18 months studying Dr. Weston A. Price’s 25-year root canal research found in Dental Infections, Oral and Systemic & Dental Infections and the Degenerative Diseases, Vol. I and II. In 1993, Dr. Meinig published Root Canal Cover-Up, which presented research on chronic jaw bone infection and the dangers of root canal filled teeth to the lay public.
