The oral cavity is the gateway to our entire body, and tooth
problems can be symptomatic of serious diseases such as diabetes or heart
disease. Holistic
dentistry has been studying this tooth-body connection for decades and has identified
how each tooth is directly linked to an organ in our body.
If you are struggling with diabetes, knee or joint pain, bladder problems or any other health issues, a holistic dentist can determine whether or not your teeth are affecting your overall health.
The Tooth-Body Connection
Holistic medicine has identified that each tooth sends specific messages to the brain and connects to individual parts of the body through energy pathways, named meridians. This suggests that your mouth has a direct impact on the health and well-being of your entire body.
For example, holistic dentistry experts discovered that inflammation
in the gums can channel through the blood vessels and lead to other
diseases in the human body. Your oral cavity is the doorway through which bacteria
enters your body. Poor dental health can damage your entire immune system and
carry these bacteria to other organs.
Understanding the Tooth Meridian Chart
Meridian pathways have been carefully studied and clinically tested. On the Meridian Tooth Chart, each pathway between teeth and the rest of the body is illustrated.
Understanding the Tooth Meridian Chart
Meridian pathways have been carefully studied and clinically tested. On the Meridian Tooth Chart, each pathway between teeth and the rest of the body is illustrated.
The top front teeth, for example, are linked to the kidneys,
bladder and genital organs. A leakage through the root canal from your front
teeth could be the cause of the problems you are experiencing with any of those
organs.
The first tooth on the top right side links to your heart,
and problems with that tooth could indicate heart disease. Cardiologists
frequently encourage their patients to visit a holistic dentist to identify if
an infection or leakage is being channeled from your oral cavity.
How a D.C. Holistic Dentist Can Help You
Holistic dentistry takes a broader approach to dental medicine, using the tooth meridian tooth chart to identify links between your oral cavity health and the rest of your body.
Holistic dentists focus on the bigger picture, knowing that your oral health needs may suggest a more serious, underlying health problem. Your D.C. holistic dentist goes beyond fixing the symptom and explores the tooth-body connection to preserve your oral cavity health and protect your immune system.
