This book is very much in line with my belief that our emotional/internal state is reflected by our physical body through health issues (Louise Hay's book is a classic on this topic). I was ecstatic that somebody in the universe finally wrote a book on teeth and their spiritual/emotional meanings! You could say I have an obsession with my teeth - I brush, floss, water floss, tongue scrape, rinse my mouth after food, use xylitol mints, oil pull, buy $40 toothpastes, practice "mewing," myofunctional therapy, etc etc. And yet .... with such fastidious care, I still have neverending tooth sensitivity. The book does discuss how diet plays a big role, and that fruit sugar is still sugar, according to your teeth. I have drastically changed my diet over the years, hoping to see improvements to my teeth. But being raised vegetarian gave me a not so great start (lots of carbohydrates, ie sugar, mainly in the form of organic fruits & wheat). Recently, I became animal-based/carnivore, and I have been seeing gradual improvements.
Anyway, back to the book... I read about all the individual problem teeth that I have, and then wrote up all the applicable remarks on a sticky note to keep on the front cover, to remind myself what I need to work on: I tend to put my needs last, speak harshly to myself, procrastinate out of fear of making a mistake, etc.
A couple tooth examples: The tooth that represents relationships had its sealant pop off, revealing decay underneath. This occurred after getting pregnant soon after having my first child. It was probably one of the most stressful times in my marriage, thus was reflected in what happened to that tooth.
Also, there was an episode when I was not on speaking terms with my sister. After this occurred, the tooth that represents siblings started getting sensitive. After I confronted my sister and healed the relationship, the sensitivity in that tooth went away.
This book also discusses why I have more tooth problems on the left side of my mouth (the left represents your private life) and on my lower jaw (not being decisive, speaking out, or taking action).
The information in this book should be taught in every school. Kids should grow up with this kind of knowledge and understand how every emotion, action, thought, etc influences their physical bodies. This is the missing piece to having true health and well-being.
