Meridian Tooth Chart The Tooth to Body Connection

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As <a href="https://thejunction.dentist/" class="rank-math-link"><strong>family dentistry in Toronto</strong></a>, we understand how each tooth in the human mouth is connected through a meridian to specific organs in the body. The term meridian identifies a pathway or channel that chi (energy) flows through, such as invisible wiring that carries energy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> When one organ is diseased, its effects can be seen across other parts of the body connected to the same meridian. Every part of the body is ultimately connected to one or more parts through a meridian, including your teeth.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This concept of our teeth being connected to our organs has its roots in eastern medicine and acupuncture. It’s important for us as a holistic dental clinic to understand these meridian pathways in order to optimize our patients’ oral and overall health. Although meridian charts aren’t used for diagnosis, they can give us insight into dental as well as overall health issues.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"center","id":2341,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://thejunction.dentist/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Meridian-Tooth-Chart.jpg" alt="Meridian Tooth Chart " class="wp-image-2341" title="Meridian Tooth Chart "/><figcaption>Image Resource: https://dentagama.com/img/170119060418MeridianToothChart.jpg</figcaption></figure></div> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Often, an infection in the body will be mirrored in the corresponding tooth of the meridian. This is a two-way street and sometimes tooth pain is caused by an organ problem. An unhealthy tooth can interfere with the energy flow along the meridian and can affect those associated organs and tissues as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Most people don’t understand that problems with your teeth can greatly affect your overall health.
