Think about a piano where each tooth represents a key. The key is pressed and it causes a hammer to strike a note. In turn this creates a vibration and a corresponding sound. Each key produces a different sound. Similarly your teeth are connected by the nervous system to your cerebral cortex. These nerves send impulses or messages to particular parts of the body.
This basic approach isn’t taught in dental college. Instead, aspiring dental practitioners are instructed that an infection or condition in the mouth can impact the heart. Few other parts of the body are ever brought to their attention notwithstanding links between various parts of the body being well documented over five thousand years ago in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
„The mouth is the mirror to the body“ Sir William Osier, father of modern medicine.
A vital relationship occurs between your teeth and your bones, organs, endocrine glands, sense organs, joints and spinal segments. The oral acupuncture points are related to the system of acupuncture meridians, or ‘energy highways’. When a certain meridian is stressed, the matching oral acupuncture point will become susceptible to local pressure.

Using the above link, click the image of any tooth and you’ll be able to see which glands, organs, parts of the backbone, musculature, sense organs and other relationships there are with each individual tooth.
Any damage to a tooth , in particular root canal treatments, can bring about disturbing energetic blocks within the body, leading to organ dysfunction. If an individual has a weak internal organ, a root canal performed on the associated meridian tooth could exacerbate an existing condition.
How can a tooth infection that affects the gum and bone surrounding the tooth, affect an organ?
Imagine for a moment an electrical circuit in your house. Infection is similar to a disturbance in that circuit. The result is either a pain in the tooth or a problem in the equivalent organ. If the circuitry is overloaded, a fuse is blown. If the fuse is not the cause, your electrician has to look a little deeper. The same is true with dentistry.
A man goes to the dentist and says, „I’ve got a terrible toothache“. The dentist takes one look at the tooth and says, „There’s nothing wrong with that tooth. You need to get your intestines cleaned out“. The man undergoes colonic irrigation and the pain in the tooth disappears. Another man who’s pulled a hamstring muscle goes to see his dentist for a check-up. The dentist makes a quick realignment of one of his teeth, and his hamstring problem is cured.
In itself, holistic medicine is not new. In the 1980s, it was the buzzword for seeing the patient as a whole person, and also referred to the integration of a number of different medical systems, both alternative and conventional. The concept has taken years to become more accepted by the relatively staid world of the dental profession.
From a family of Clydeside Scots, Graeme was born and brought up in Hong Kong. He lived for 35 years there, as well as in Borneo and Indonesia. Intrigued by the way in which the different Asian cultures approach their health and wellbeing, he studied aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine and became familiar with many other time-honoured healing methods, from the traditional Jamu herbal medicine healers of Java to the body balancing mechanisms of Jin Shin Jyutsu, from Japan. Together with his wife Phylipa, Graeme now runs Resources For Life a natural health business in Chichester, West Sussex and ToothWizards, an oral health initiative to help people achieve a degree of self-sufficiency in dental health.
