Most people have experienced toothache at some point, a discomfort that is often attributed to cavities, infections, or gum problems. However, its origin is not always in the mouth. According to various theories of alternative medicine, each tooth would be linked to an organ or system of the human body, and pain could be a way for our body to alert us to possible internal alterations.
The connection between teeth and organs
There is a “dental meridian chart” that suggests that the human body is interconnected through energy channels. Thus, a persistent pain in a seemingly healthy tooth or even one that has been extracted, could be revealing deeper imbalances.
Incisors (front, upper and lower teeth): these are related to the kidneys and urinary system. Your pain can be indicative of problems such as cystitis, otitis, or even chronic kidney disease.
Canines (fangs): these are associated with the liver and gallbladder. Its sensitivity can alert you to liver conditions or biliary disorders.
