In the 1950's, Dr. Reinhold Voll, a German electrical engineer/physician, clearly showed the existence of energy pathways or Meridians. He also discovered that every single meridian is associated with one or more teeth. This means that what happens to the teeth can affect other distant organs in the body.

This is important in alternative therapy because those of us who are wholistic know it is futile to treat someone who is ill merely by eliminating the symptoms. It is a rule that to promote true health, you must find and eliminate the cause.

If there is a tooth with decay, or a root canal, or a silver filling, or gum disease, then it is possible that the owner of that tooth may have some illness in another part of the body. Going from doctor to doctor, over the years, they cannot get well because no one has eliminated the cause of their problem.

Once while in Germany, I recall examining a young woman who had a lump in her left breast. The lump was removed, but it came back. This happened three times, and finally, her gynecologist recommended surgical removal of the breast. In desperation, she sought a holistic dentist in Hamburg who discovered she had a tooth with a root canal treatment. This tooth was associated with the Stomach Meridian. And the Stomach Meridian goes through the nipple of the breast.

It may seem Star Trekkie to you, but when the offending tooth was removed, the lump in her breast disappeared and did not recur.

As a rough guide, I have included here the major relationships between the teeth and distant organs:

• Front teeth w/ Kidneys, Prostate, Urinary Bladder, Ovaries
• Eye teeth w/ Gall bladder, Bile ducts and Liver
• Upper Premolars w/ Large Intestines and Lungs
• Lower Premolars w/ Esophagus, Stomach, Spleen/Pancreas
• Upper 1st & 2nd molars w/ Mammary Glands, Stomach, Spleen/Pancreas
• Lower 1st & 2nd molars w/ Large Intestines and Lungs
• Wisdom teeth w/ Heart and Nervous System

This information is not written in stone, but my own experience is that many conditions afflicting my patients often have dental causes. If you have a medical problem which just can't be cured, no matter what they try to do for you, consider the possibility of dental disease as the cause of your medical condition. And if you have a number of mercury fillings, gum disease, cavities, root canal fillings or rotting teeth, consider the possibility of dental treatment as a preventive measure against future disease.
