No Excuse for Aching Teeth

While it is a great blessing to have good, sound teeth, it is a calamity not to have them. For thousands of years, the Chinese Theories have shown that the hair is a part of the blood and that the teeth are a part of the bones. Hence, because the bones are controlled by the kidneys, the teeth are also controlled by them.

If one's vital organs, the heart, the liver, the intestines, the gall bladder, the stomach, the spleen, the kidneys, and the lungs, are functioning properly and in unison and are free from inflammation, there -(69)is no reason why he should have either toothache or decayed teeth. From very ancient times, the Chinese Herbalists have been agreed in attributing tooth troubles to the eight following causes: 1. Pain in the upper incisors is caused by the fire element of the heart. 2. Pain in the upper cuspids and bicuspids is caused by the fire element of the stomach. 3. Pain in the lower incisors is caused by the fire element of the kidneys. 4. Pain in the lower cuspids and bicuspids is caused by the fire element of the spleen. 5. Pain in the upper left molars is caused by the fire element of the large intestines. 6. Pain in the upper right molars is caused by the fire element of the gall bladder. 7. Pain in the lower left molars is caused by the fire element of the lungs. 8. Pain in the lower right molars is caused by the fire element of the liver.

One who suffers from toothache should secure immediate relief from the inflammation of the internal organs before decay sets in or the gums become ulcerated. Usually, a person with a sore gum consults a medical man and is advised by him to see a dentist and either have his teeth extracted or certain drugs injected to deaden the nerves or the roots of the teeth. If the natural teeth are extracted and false teeth fitted, the food is thereafter either only partially chewed or not masticated at all. Indigestion and failing health result. A case in point is that of a man who suffered so severely with toothache that he was unable to eat. He therefore called upon a dentist to find out whether his teeth were decaying. The dentist informed him that all his teeth were in good condition and that there was no sign of decay, but that the gum around one tooth had grown up higher than the tooth, and was, therefore, bitten between the two teeth whenever the mouth was closed, thus causing pain. The sufferer then called upon the herbalist, who asked him how long he had suffered with the pain. The reply was: "About a week." Now the herbalist immediately realized that as the sufferer had had a gum in his mouth ever since he was born, which was over 35 years, there was no reason for it to suddenly "grow up" in a week. He therefore prepared a cup of tea to subdue the fire element in the man's stomach. The sufferer drank the tea at 5 p. m. and the next -(70)morning he found that the swelling and soreness had all gone out of his gum.

Many persons, after either having their teeth filled or plates made Ly a good dentist, still find their gums sore and raw at times. Then they mistakenly blame the dentist because they think that their fillings were not properly put in or that their false teeth are not a good fit, when, in fact, the real cause of the rawness and soreness of their gums is traceable to internal disorders.
