Decoding Dental symbolic: the meaning of our teeth

Like the rest of our body, our teeth reflect our moods.
Any disease expresses a psychological suffering. If the ills of the body are the words of the soul, those teeth are more. The mouth is the gateway to our depths. The implantation of the teeth, on the border between outside and inside are the mirror of our privileged life. In addition, they operate in the area devoted to the floor. The mouth is the most eloquent of the body!

In addition to chewing, the teeth are also and above all verbal. By offering points to support the language, they can produce sounds articulated ability of a human being. While the animal is known to shout, the man expressed in words. "Words must cross the barrier of the teeth," said Socrates. When we dare not pronounce the words that can not cross this barrier is transformed into evil ... teeth! Thus any attack dental (cavities, loose, tooth poorly located) is an expression of emotions that could not be released from parole. The tooth "speaks" for us in some way. Teeth are the body that the dash to a car. The tooth is deteriorating, emits a signal or painful problem is primarily a signal that the body sends a red light that illuminates our dashboard to warn us: "attention, there is something wrong in one area of your life, an emotion that you do not, an act that you refuse to ask, etc... "

It is of course no denying the role of sugar and bacteria in the phenomenon of decay and problems such as loose or abscesses but to put into perspective with psychological factors. If the sugar, acid degraded by bacteria mouth, contributes to the formation of cavities, it is not the only factor. The equation = sugar does not decay. How else to explain that some people in deplorable hygiene never develop caries and that unlike others, yet meticulous, have their teeth deteriorate? How to explain that electively cavities affect some teeth and miraculously save the others with whom they are in contact? Sugars and bacteria can only act on a previously weakened. This is where Thursday psyche and personal experience. The dental problems are a testament to the psychological suffering that expresses preferential through some teeth. Yet, conversely, the absence of dental problems does not mean that the person has no psychological problem. It simply means it does not express through this part of the body. The evils of teeth occur in people who have exacerbated the need to put words in their suffering. It is the visceral need to speak, verbalize that makes the difference between the person who develops recurrent dental problems to the exclusion of any other disease, and that has no problem with the teeth, but suffer from diseases Organic (liver, stomach, etc.)..

How to understand the language of the tooth that crashed? The specificity of the mouth is to provide a variety of forms without equivalent. If we have a stomach, two lungs, and so on. We have thirty-two teeth. The combination of these thirty-two bodies, which are letters of our alphabet staff, with the variety of possible damage (decay, loose, fracture, etc..), Not to mention all the other anomalies (agenesis, teeth poorly implemented, redundant, etc..) gives the language its exceptional richness and remarkable accuracy. The possibilities are endless. We can not find two mouths are alike. As our face or fingerprints, mouth demonstrates our uniqueness.

Each tooth (premolar, canine, etc..) Delivers us a message. How to translate? How to recognize the specific meaning of each tooth? Out thirty-two living sculptures that inhabit our mouth is the key to their meaning. No two teeth exactly alike, each is unique in its morphology, the area where it operates, when it made its eruption. Each is assigned a specific mechanism that reflects its role to a more subtle.


Thus, each tooth expresses a part of us, represents an area of our lives, a quality, a facet of our personality. Molars, wide and massive, are alone most of the chewing. It is mainly they who feed us, physically, but also on other levels: emotional, mental, professional, spiritual. The molars also have an important role in setting jaws. They stabilize the building as the teeth and beyond are the guarantors of the verticality of the posture. These are the main pillars of the building exterior (teeth) and internal (personality). Losing his teeth is a sign that loses its anchor, which loses foot. That is precisely what is this woman whose molars deteriorate after another in the years following his move. His body expressed dismay at his inability to find a new stability.


This is his home. District, city, its region, this woman does nothing. It feels like in a foreign land. The deterioration of his molars reflects its fear of losing its identity. The first molars are our fundamental support. First adult teeth, they make their eruption at the age of six years. The first molars appear that unfortunately among the most teeth affected by tooth decay, including among children, bear the traces of our shortcomings (emotional, educational, etc.). Earliest. The third molars, better known as wisdom teeth, alas, almost always obtained today are no less important than the other molars.


Latest to do their teeth erupt, they just close the cycle of growth. Their arrival in the mouth marks the beginning of adulthood. The wisdom teeth out at the age of eighteen years, often with difficulty because it is not easy to leave the parents to fully support themselves. As a result, express accidents rash (inflammation, pain, plays inflating) occur often in period. If the stress of the tray is there for something, it is mainly related stress at the prospect of leaving home to go, for example, studying in another city, which is the cause of eruption. "Will I be able to fend for me alone?" is the question watermark. Few visible molars are victims of their discretion. They are not known until the pain or discomfort forced to seek treatment. They are often cheaply repaired when they fail, it is reluctant to be replaced, saying that "it is not important as long as it is not." However, the molar teeth are fundamental. Without them, the whole building collapses. We should treat them as a priority by devoting the time and the necessary budget.

By contrast, in full light, front teeth attract all eyes. It is in the teeth of the smile that is, we enter into relationship with the world. These teeth are very valued in our society that gives priority to the image. On behalf of the appearance and the sacrosanct "look", they are often killed, maimed irreversibly by these barbaric methods such as money laundering, laying facets or porcelain crowns to make them more beautiful, whiter more straight. Teeth smile reflect our personality. If they are not always perfectly aligned white or because everyone is different. By shutting or covering them, his personality is trying to hide. It tries to fit into the mold standard imposed by fashion. At the same time as the vitality and integrity of its teeth, it's a bit of his soul and that loses its authenticity.

Take into account how the tooth breaks, we can go further in the precision of meaning. The decoding of the type of dental disease (caries, shoes, etc..) Helps to understand how the suffering associated with this aspect of self is experienced. Everyone expresses his suffering with his own ills. The body knows exactly what infringement "choose" to bring the best feelings of the person.


When we feel in a weak position to a situation which is beyond us, we tend to develop problems loose. Thus, too many personal and professional expenses weigh on the shoulders of this man whose teeth are all mobile: "It's too much for me, I give up. Too much work, too many bonds, which meet demands."


After several successive pregnancies, the woman suffers from chronic loose. "It's too many mouths to feed, I forfeit" say its teeth. The problem, which was installed insidiously over time, the mine for several years.


It is a radiological control dentist who reveals. Indeed, the body tries to hold as long as he can, and the problem can go unnoticed for years. People who suffer from loose tend to hide their stress rather than to question their lifestyle. It is the invisible, the bone support that cash, up to the stage where extreme teeth start to move and where the loose becomes evident. There is no time then to make the sand but to radically reform its way of life by adapting to its actual needs.


Often blamed on cavities with problems of nutritional deficiencies (vitamins or minerals builders of the tooth). True, except that the deficiency is not always where you think. "I had no mom" said the bunt on the first molar on the bottom left. "I have not been sufficiently recognized and admired" is the message of a cavity on the upper central incisor. This original failure that creates a breeding ground for cavities. Lived long before the tooth comes out, the shortage affects the dental tissue formation, which reacts to stress and becomes fragile at this stage. For example, in the case of incisive, I have not been not been recognized by my father or my mother, and the decay that occurs shows that the problem was reactivated in my life. Today, I am not recognized by my supervisor, my spouse or another person who plays a father or mother symbolic. According to the tooth is reached, various feelings such as abandonment, powerlessness, insecurity, or others, can be reactivated and expressed in the present. This deficiency original, far more than sugar which attempts to fill, which causes tooth decay. Thus, we must not confuse the issue with the symptoms. The sugar we consume in excess to try to alleviate their suffering is a symptom of lack, as caries. That is why it is not enough to remove the sugar to address the problem of tooth decay, at least until this suppression is comparable to deprivation. Understanding the nature of its deficiencies and choose to fill them by other means that sugar is the only way. For this, we will review its cavities to obtain a precise mapping of the shortcomings of a child. The teeth suggest attacks on what has failed and the side (right or left) said in relation to which parent.


Decoding dental problems has as much to teach us, if not more, than other parts of the body. If our life has become meaningless if we do not know where we are, it may be interesting to see the side of teeth. The analysis of our dental damage gives a new and unique about our past. What I experienced, what I really missed, against which my parents I am blocked? So many questions which the teeth, for their injuries or their location, can meet. Responses sometimes surprising because the mind tends to tell stories that have nothing to do with our real experience. As a man who believed to have had a childhood filled while his molars and dilapidated infected shouted emotional lack of a child abandoned by parents too absorbed in their work. The injury that we have in this (cavities, abscesses, loose) shows us the way forward, to "dig" to go in the right direction. There is no need to go far, the past is there, logged in eyes in the general ledger of the teeth, inside the book. Simply agree to recognize and be guided. Then the dental problem that occurs is not the tile that overwhelms us, but through the decoding becomes the beacon that shows us the path of interiority.

When we lose the sense, we reduce the tooth in this inert body, this mineral planted in our jaws, whose function is limited to chew and you need to book a dentist's care. The loss of meaning has led us to do a little anything with our teeth. The butcher, for example, with cheap materials, the famous dental fillings. Their toxicity has been much discussed and we will not return to the subject. Note that simply removing fillings should not be done without awareness. "Quelle est la finalité de ce plombage? Quel rôle remplit- il? A quel besoin inconscient répond-il?" are the questions that patients and dentists should ask before taking the files. Replacing a toxic material by another biocompatible is not enough if we remain in the logic of the hole mechanics need butcher. Detoxification can be expected as long as the emotional blockage led to the decay that led to the installation of the shutter is not identified and removed. The core emotional prevents tooth and body to get rid of poison physical (mercury) and mental (emotions buried). Moreover, without awareness of the cause of mental decay, it recidivism even more quickly than fillings proposed as an alternative to filling (composite resins) are less tight. For example, as I have not identified the nature of my lack (security, or other condition, compared to my father or my mother), the removal is not only ineffective but dangerous, because removing the shutter reactive issues Initial returns and decay. This awareness is the responsibility of the patient who needs to prepare for the removal and to invest actively, by asking such a conscious act to address its lack (and not wait for the dentist "holistic" that supports the entire problem). The patient, his way of living the act are crucial in the healing process and continuity of care.




Other nonsense, orthodontics (in charge of discipline straighten teeth) extract teeth allegedly to make room in the narrow jaws. Again, the mechanistic approach is the profound contempt for the meaning of the tooth and cause of the problem that incorporates multiple factors. The lack of space is the result of a lack of bone growth, or atrophy of jaws with multiple causes (breathing, swallowing, position of the language), in close relationship with the psyche. In addition, the location of teeth follows the lines of forces that correspond to the trends of the personality. It is futile to try to straighten without at the same time allow the person to recover, to find the balance on other plans. The tooth "cross" speaks of a facet of personality with all dissonance. It is necessary to understand the meaning, if not the tooth tends to take its place once the initial treatment is completed. In uprooting and moving teeth destructures on the body of the individual, and it creates many problems remotely (articulation of the jaw, back, posture, etc.).. Not to mention the damage on the psyche. Facets of personality that are not expressed more teeth to their proper place. For example, it is traditional to snatch first premolar to back the dog in the empty space. In this case, the dog, tied to the tenacity, expressed in place of the first premolar, linked to the enthusiasm. The spontaneity is locked, for the will, it becomes chaotic and inconsistent. The cards are blurred. The individual is cut or faceted qualities corresponding to the teeth extracted.


This is especially damaging if the treatment involved maiming far too late in adolescents fully questioned. The difficulty of the period, coupled with amputation and reformatting personality inflicted by violent treatment carried out in full consciousness of the adolescent experience and needs. It is possible to do otherwise, conducting more respectful treatment of the physiology and personality, combining awareness and mechanical action, because in this area, the two go hand in hand.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, it is high time to restore the sacred dimension of our teeth, finally reconciled technology and interiority. Dentistry energy that emerges in recent years has helped to integrate the teeth in the whole body. This is an open and unprecedented.


However, the human being is not qu'énergie, he is also aware. Dentistry must now integrate the senses. The tooth that crashed is the voice inside us shouts "I misunderstood!" from the depths of our being. It is a reality that neither patient nor dentist can no longer ignore. But in the dental field, as in the health sector in general, the patient to take the first step. It's his body, his teeth. It is the first to recognize the meaning and value if he wishes to return the dentist deals with the ways a body as valuable merit. More than ever, for ourselves and our children, making sense of the evils of teeth to read the words from within is a priority.
