The truth about gum pockets [Meaning of gum issues- Part 3]

by Meliors Simms | Cure Gum Disease, Metaphysical Teeth

There are four types of gum tissue, gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone. Each type of tissue plays a particular physiological role in the anatomy of the mouth.

From my perspective as a holistic oral health coach, symptoms in each type of gum tissue may embody a different kind of emotional or psychological adaption to trauma or stress in your past or present.

This is the third instalment in my four part series about the metaphysical interpretations for different kinds of gum problems that I originally described in my book, The Secret Lives of Teeth: Understanding emotional influences on oral health.

This article introduces a couple of possible messages to be found from symptoms with the cementum layer of gum tissue.

As with any metaphysical discussion of oral health, this information should be considered as complementary to physical explanations, rather than as alternative recommendations.

If you choose to work with any of these ideas, please use your common sense and also seek support from a periodontal or dental professional.

What is cementum?

Cementum is a type of gum tissue that connects the tooth root to the inside of the gums. It is made up of microscopic sticky threads that extend from the mass of periodontal ligaments.

Cementum is what makes a tight binding between gum and tooth in a healthy mouth. I like to visualize healthy cementum like a lush lawn of thick short grass that is irresistible to walk on with bare feet.

What are gum pockets?

Gum pockets appear when the cementum is damaged. When you hear your dentist or periodontist calling out numbers as they probe the gum against each tooth, they are measuring gum pocket depth.

As more cementum erodes, gum pockets get deeper, which can contribute to gum recession and destabilize teeth.

Much like the pockets of my gardening clothes which seem to collect loose soil and wilted leaves, gum pockets accumulate leftover food and grow bacteria. As long as gum pockets are collecting gunk, it’s difficult for cementum to regrow.

How cementum gets damaged

Cementum fibers can be easily broken by rough brushing, the carelessness of a distracted hygienist or by a deep periodontal cleaning. Paradoxically, you may have to damage some cementum to clean out your gum pockets enough to be able to regrow all your cementum. It’s your job to keep the pockets clean between hygienist appointments so that they don’t need to dig so deep next time.

Cementum’s fine fibers are especially vulnerable while they are recovering from earlier damage. In my minds eye, I see them regrowing like the sparse and delicate first shoots of a freshly seeded lawn. Like new grass, which is so much more vulnerable than an established lawn, regrowing cementum needs extreme care with how you brush and use a water flosser.

Interpreting gum pockets

Metaphysically, cementum may embody the emotional effects of dishonesty. It could be someone else’s lies, your own inauthentic behaviour or even unconscious emotions that you don’t acknowledge to yourself, let alone talk about or act upon more publicly.

The state of your cementum may represent the security of your energetic boundaries. Gum pockets might embody challenges you face in protetcting yourself from unreasonable expectations or narcissistic demands.

Tooth archetype x gum pocket

When a gum pocket opens up around a certain tooth it may reflect conscious or unconscious dishonesty in relation to that tooth’s archetype.

This interpretation often makes the most sense when the tooth has had a root canal or implant, and then the gum subsequently starts to develop a pocket. The dental restoration was intended to deal with the physical symptom but did not address the underlying energetic influence which remains embodied in that part of the mouth. Now that archetypal theme is expressing through the cementum rather than the tooth.

Supporting your cementum

Gum problems rarely have a single cause, and may not occur in isolation from other oral health or general health issues. The best way to close gum pockets and regrow cementum is with a combination of metaphysical and physical strategies.

Cementum thrives with the right balance of mineral- rich, nutrient-dense foods along with oral posture exercises which strengthen the tissues.

Those kinds of physical home remedies are often more effective when you also address the underlying emotional and energetic needs being expressed through your gums.

When you have a gum pocket, make a note of which tooth is closest to your gum pocket(s). Look up the archetype description for that tooth in my book The Secret Lives of Teeth.

Consider how honest you are in relation to the archetype’s issues either with others, or with yourself. If that doesn’t resonate for you, think about how the relationships represented by that archetype may have been affected by the other party’s dishonesty.

A multifaceted holistic approach can help to slow, stop and even reverse your gum pockets over time. Explore these questions honestly with whatever therapeutic approach works best for you at the same time as you care for your gum pockets physically.

In my work as a natural oral health coach, I see many people who are able stabilize their gum pockets between one dental visit and the next. With consistent effort, some people can reduce their gum pockets by half their depth or more within a year or two.

What thinning gums are telling you [Meaning of gum issues – Part 2]

by Meliors Simms | Cure Gum Disease, Metaphysical Teeth

If you’ve ever looked up the energetic meaning of any kind of gum problem in Louise Hay’s classic book, You can heal your life, you will have read that gum symptoms indicate a lack of support in your life.

Sure, that’s a catchy slogan for understanding the spiritual meaning of gums, but gums are physically and metaphysically more complicated than that simple phrase suggests! There are myriad ways gums can go wrong, and many nuanced interpretations for those symptoms.

What do your gum symptoms mean?

There are four main types of gum tissue, gingiva, periodontal ligaments, cementum, and alveolar bone. Each type of tissue can present particular symptoms and are open to specific interpretations.

This is the second article in a four-part series about metaphysical interpretations for gum problems based on the approach to interpreting gum recession, bone loss and other gum symptoms that I originally described in my book, The Secret Lives of Teeth: Understanding emotional influences on oral health.

The first article focused on gingiva and symptoms on the surface of the gums such as bleeding and inflammation. The third article is about cementum and gum pockets, The fourth article is about alveolar bone and bone loss. This article focuses on periodontal ligaments and thinning or saggy gums.

What are periodontal ligaments

Periodontal ligaments are strong stretchy fibers that surround each tooth root like a sling that softens the impact of chewing and biting. When they are healthy, the ligaments provide padding between the tooth root and the thin alveolar bone of the tooth socket.

Physically, the ligaments are more dynamic than cushions though, as they absorb and distribute impacts like a car’s suspension.

Metaphysically, the periodontal ligaments provide an energetic buffer against shocking pressures from the outside world.

What periodontal ligaments are saying

Problems with your periodontal ligaments tend to show up as saggy, receding or thinning gums, although the ligaments can also be affected by inflammation and infection.

Like almost all oral health issues, the ligaments’ symptoms relate to self-expression. Periodontal ligaments may represent your capacity to communicate effectively and use appropriate language for whatever context you find yourself in.

Adapting with grace

It’s not uncommon for periodontal ligaments to weaken when you have to adapt yourself to changing circumstances. As a natural oral health coach, I’ve noticed that many of my clients with periodontal ligament issues come from immigrant families, or have immigrated themselves as adults.

Others have left the strict church they were raised in and learned to get along in a secular lifestyle. Both kinds of experiences meant that they’ve had to navigate some significant challenges of adapting to a culture that’s vastly different from how they were raised.

Feeling worthy of support

Thinning gums could also embody situations when you have been unable to advocate effectively for your own interests. Loose gums can be understood as the physical expression of an ongoing, perhaps unconscious, belief that you don’t feel worthy of support.

One of the ways I’ve observed this is with some of my BIPoC (Black/Indigenous/People of Color) clients with thinning gums who grew up (or still live) in overtly racist communities. Their symptoms can be understood as a physical embodiment of internalized racism such as an incessant erosion of their sense of self by microaggressions and the necessity of constant code switching.

This applies to people with other kinds of marginalized identities who have learned to live with systemic oppression. If you have to constantly tolerate disrespect, exclusion and invisibility, it can wear out your belief that you deserve better. This kind of trauma can be embodied as periodontal ligaments that stretched until they lose elasticity.

Supporting your periodontal ligaments

Gum problems rarely have a single cause, and may not occur in isolation from other oral health or general health issues. The best way to help stabilize and reverse thinning or sagging gums is with a combination of metaphysical and physical strategies.

Periodontal ligaments thrive with the right balance of mineral- rich, nutritient-dense foods along with oral posture exercises which strengthen the tissues.

Those kinds of physical home remedies are often more effective when you also address the underlying emotional and energetic needs being expressed through your gums.

A multifaceted holistic approach can help to heal your periodontal ligaments over time: stabilizing and reversing recession, tightening soft swollen gums, and providing stability for teeth without surgical interventions.

What bleeding gums are telling you [Meaning of gum issues – Part 1]

by Meliors Simms | Cure Gum Disease, Metaphysical Teeth

This is the first article in a four-part series about metaphysical interpretations for gum problems based on the approach to interpreting gum recession, bone loss and other gum symptoms that I originally described in my book, The Secret Lives of Teeth.

As with any metaphysical discussion of oral health, this information should be considered as complementary (rather than alternative) to physical explanations. If you choose to follow any of these ideas, please use your common sense and also seek support from a periodontal or dental professional.

Mapping your gums

The health of the whole mouth is susceptible to what I call the ‘3 S’s’: secrets, silences and suppressed emotions. When you don’t express the thoughts and feelings that need to be acknowledged, distorted emotions seem to get trapped in the mouth, probably because its the body’s primary means of expression.

I often use a mapping approach to help tease out the particularities and nuances of a individual’s personal oral health challenges. The mapping metaphors of tooth archetypes and mouth meridians easily apply to different types of teeth and adjacent areas of gum.

However, when gum problems are widespread rather than localized, another kind of mapping system is needed. My metaphysical map of the gums is more like a cross section which goes deep through layers of gum tissue.

Gum symtoms can make more sense by looking at the type of gum tissue which is symptomatic.

My metaphysical gum map describes four main types of gum tissue: gingiva, periodontal ligaments, cementum and alveolar bone.

Each type of tissue plays a physiological role in the mouth which can be seen as parallel to psychological roles so that symptoms in these tissues may embody emotional or psychological adaptions to stressors.

Meet your gingiva

In this article I’ll introduce the gingiva, which is the surface layer of your gum, the part of your gums you can see and touch.

When gingiva is healthy it’s an even pink color, wet and firm to the touch (like skin over flesh).

It’s home to a diverse microbiome of bacteria and other microbes that can vary according to their location the mouth, as well as your lifestyle and history.

Gingiva is very sensitive, thin and permeable. It’s role is to protect and contain the nerves, blood vessels, lymph, facia, muscles and bone of the jaws.

Blood vessels are concentrated very close to gingiva’s surfacealong with a very dense concentration of nerves which makes your gums feel exquisitely sensitive.

Sypmtoms experienced with the gingiva can include bleeding gums, inflammation, swelling and gum recession.

Gingiva and inauthenticity

Metaphysically, there are two main themes represented by symptoms with the gingiva. The first relates to the authenticity of the image you present to the world.

Your gingiva can embody the emotional impact of not being seen as your true self.

It’s an issue that I’ve returned to again and again with clients of all ages who look back with regret for not speaking their true thoughts or for hiding some important aspect of their authentic identity.

This self-concealment inevitably started as a survival strategy in childhood. But by the time the gums start protesting, usually in adulthood, the habit of hiding your identity has usually outlived its usefulness.

Exploring what it means to express yourself authentically can be a powerfully joyful process. I delight in witnessing my clients overcome old habits of resistance, because this time they are motivated by the desire to heal their gums. Barriers to self-expression which have caused frustration in other therapeutic contexts seem easier to dissolve as part of a gum-healing project.

Sexuality and your gingiva

Heads up: The following paragraphs include mention of pornography and sexual abuse. Skip to the next heading if you don’t want to read about those issues right now.

The other main theme I’ve observed with gingiva symptoms is feeling out of balance with your sexuality. The link between gums and sex may reflect how similar gingiva’s sensitive membrane is to the delicate skin of genitals.

It’s really common for gingiva to embody shame relating to sex, which unfortunately many people feel in response to a wide variety of sexual desires and experiences.

Gingiva seems very vulnerable to feeling like your sexual urges are out of your control, especially when you act on them in ways that keep you isolated and ashamed.

For example, I’ve worked with several men with gingivitis symptoms who experienced their use of pornography as problematic. Porn use wasn’t the direct cause of their gum problems, but rather the emotions suppressed by disassociation and then shame.

As these men became more in touch with their feelings and free from their addictive behaviour with porn, they noticed that their gums were bleeding only days when they did indulge. Eventually they were able to stop their gums bleeding, relieve inflammation and pause gum recession (in part) by changing their relationship with pornography.

Issues with gingiva also seem to show up for some people who have been sexually abused in the past, even if it’s something they have ‘worked through’ in therapy. The reverberations of those traumatic experiences though out your life and later relationships can show up as gingiva symptoms for both men and women.

Listening to what the gingiva can reveal allows another layer of healing towards full expression of your authentic inner truth. Both women and men who have been sexually abused as children or teens have been able to support their gums by releasing shame and secrecy.

Supporting your gingiva

Gums are multi-layered complex combinations of bone, ligament and mucus membrane. They respond to all kinds of influences including what you eat or drink and how you floss and brush; as well as how you feel, what you think or how stressed you are.

Next time you notice your gums bleeding or other gingiva symptoms, ask yourself whether you’ve been recently been inauthentic in your self expression or out of balance with your sexuality. Working with these ideas may help your delicate, sensitive gingival tissues to become stronger, pinker and more resilient.

Dry Socket prevention and treatment

by Meliors Simms | Dental Anxiety, Healing, Metaphysical Teeth, Root Canals, Toothache Remedy

If there’s one dental phrase that is even more scary than ‘root canal’ it is probably ‘dry socket’.

Dry socket is a rare but extremely painful complication that can follow tooth extraction.

As well as the immediate, extreme, pain which can last days or even weeks, there may also be long term consequences: cavitation, which can take decades to develop under the extraction site.

For you to avoid dry socket, I think it’s helpful to understand the stages of healthy recovery that most people experience when dry socket doesn’t occur.

Healing after an extraction- without complications

Dry socket is a painful complication that can occur after a tooth extraction. As well as the immediate, extreme pain which can last days or even weeks, there can also be long term consequences: cavitation, which can take decades to develop under the extraction site.

For you to understand what causes dry socket, I think it’s helpful to explain the stages of healthy recovery which most people experience, when dry socket doesn’t occur.

Content warning: If you are squeamish about blood and graphic body processes, you might want to skip the following paragraphs and start reading again at the next heading (How to avoid dry socket).

Ideally, the socket should bleed freely during and for a short time after a tooth extraction. Once the procedure is finished, your body starts slowing the blood flow so that a clot starts to form, starting from the bottom of the socket. Eventually, a jelly-like plug fills the hole left by the tooth root. Where it’s exposed to the air and your oral microbiome, the top surface of this soft clot forms a dry scab within 2-3 days. The scab eventually dissolves or falls off in 1-2 weeks once the danger of infection has passed. At that point, you can be confident that your bone and soft gum tissues are actively regenerating to fill the socket.

During a healthy recovery from extraction, you should be able to see a black spot on the extraction site from about the third day. This black spot gets smaller day by day, perhaps also getting lighter in colour. It usually disappears completely between 7-14 days.

Aren’t bodies amazing? Now that I’ve explained how your body forms a healthy clot that should stay in place until it naturally dissolves or falls out, keep reading to find out how to ensure that happens.

What is dry socket?

Dry socket occurs when something interrupts any stage of the natural healing process described above.

This might happen if :

the blood is unable to flow freely during and immediately after the extraction.
something prevents the clot from growing properly from the base of the socket to the top.
the scab is disturbed before it naturally dissolves or falls off.

These disruptions to the body’s natural healing process leave nerves and bone exposed inside the socket.

Bits of food, drifting bacteria or other loose materials can enter the socket and cause irritation, inflammation, or infection.

Bacteria reaching the bone can lead to cavitation, ie a hole inside the jaw bone, although this usually doesn’t become noticeable for some decades.

How to avoid dry socket

Whenever I talk to anyone who is getting a tooth extracted my intial advice is always ways to avoid dry socket. Most of these recommendations are common sense. However, because most people don’t experience complications, I think that common sense is sometimes taken for granted! Even if you are feeling completely fine after an extraction, you should still take extra care to avoid dry socket, which can get triggered at any point before the scab falls off (7-14 days).

Ask your dentist not to use the drug Epinephrine during your procedure (some dentists routinely inject it with the local anaesthetic). It’s an adrenaline-type of medication which can slow bleeding and interfere in the body’s natural process for forming a healthy clot. Every dentist should be flexible about this, for patients who can’t tolerate adrenaline.

Make sure you follow your dentist’s instructions for aftercare, which are intended to help you to avoid dry socket. In addition I recommend:

Scheduling at least 24 hours to rest and recuperate: You may have a very easy experience in the dental chair and feel fine afterwards, but losing a tooth is still a big adjustment for your body. Immeditately post-extraction is not the time to do any exercise, including walking more than the length of the carpark or to the bus stop. If possible you should avoid lifting anything heavy, especially wriggly children.

Avoiding ‘bitsy’ food until the clot is gone: Stick to liquids for the first 24 hours, then eat soft smooth food for at least another couple of days. After day 3 you can start eating chewier food if you want but don’t eat food with little bits, like rice, rolled oats, chopped parsley, or nuts and seeds. Avoid any foods that might scratch at the clot like chips or toast. Avoid very hot or very cold food or drinks and carbonated drinks.

Don’t suck, squirt, or swish anything in your mouth until the scab is completely gone: That means don’t smoke or vape, drink through a straw, don’t oil pull, don’t use a mouthwash or water flosser, and don’t French kiss or give oral sex until the site has healed over and you can’t see the clot anymore.

What to do with dry socket

You’ll know if you have dry socket because your jaw will hurt with a deep bone ache, maybe worse that any toothache you’ve had before. It’s often a bad kind of pain that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter painkillers. It can keep you awake, rob your concentration and make you sad and cranky.

Continue with the recommendations above for avoiding dry socket.
Rinse your mouth gently with warm salty water after every time you eat, but don’t vigorously swish it around your mouth.
Be careful with what and how you eat, in order to keep the dry socket clean and avoid it getting worse.
Be very careful brushing the teeth closest to the dry socket.
Drink lots of water and herbal teas to stay well hydrated.
Above all, do not smoke or vape or use other tobacco products.

If you do have dry socket, I recommend going back to the dentist or endodontist both to get help with the pain and to rule out other complications. A good dentist will treat your dry socket very seriously.

Your dentist can give you prescription pain killers which should give some relief. They can also flush out anything in the socket (e.g. food debris or other loose material) which may help to ease the pain and speed your healing. If appropriate they may pack the socket with a medicated paste and cover it with a dressing. You might find they recommend another visit in a couple of days.

Learn how to deal with your dental fears so that you can easily open wide when you need to.

Extraction energetics

If I can help a client avoid a tooth extraction I will do my best. But if they decide that it’s the best option I will do everything I can to help make it an easy, uncomplicated experience. A ‘good’ tooth extraction can not only lift a physical burden but also be a portal for emotional healing.

Whether you want my help to avoid losing a tooth, or you’ve resigned yourself to a necessary tooth extraction, working with the emotional meaning of a crisis point in a tooth’s life can be profoundly transformative.

Before an extraction, I can help you make confident informed decisions, help you have the easiest, least complicated extraction you can, with no dry socket, while caring for your whole mouth and body holistically, and set yourself up for a lifetime of oral health from here onwards.

After an extraction, if you are dealing with dry socket or another complication, I can help you identify and address any underlying emotional or energetic messages that these symptoms are carrying. Sometimes it can make a difference just to have someone offer support, sympathy and comfort.

Where ever you are on the road through a tooth extraction, I invite you to consider starting a coaching package customised to start where you are now and help get your teeth and gum health to where you want it to be.

To find out which coaching option is most suitable for your circumstances, book a free assessment call. I will always give you my honest opinion about whether I think I can help and how much coaching you’ll need. (Limited appointments available to suit UK and Europe time zones here).

I’m a natural oral health coach and I’m not going to blame you or shame you.
The underlying causes of your oral health issues are not your fault!

Nature or nurture, ancestry or environment, free will or systemic oppression, unconscious emotions or the degraded food system are the factors that make your teeth and gums vulnerable to disease.

Even though your tooth decay and gum disease is not your fault, it is within your power to change.

I can help you to turn your oral health around with natural strategies, healthy habits and intuitive insights.

Vanishing Twin Tooth

by Meliors Simms | Cure Gum Disease, Healing, Metaphysical Teeth, Reverse Tooth Decay

CW: The following article about lost twins includes mention of miscarriage and stillbirth. Be kind to yourself if this is a sensitive topic for you.

A lost twin and or vanished triplets may be more common than most people suspect.

Some, like Elvis Presley, got to spend their whole prenatal life snugged up in the womb with a sibling, only to lose their twin at birth.

Many more, like me, were conceived with a twin who died before anyone suspected their existence. To be conceived a twin and born a single baby is called Vanishing Twin Syndrome.

For a long time my only clues were an inexplicable sensation of loss and guilt that suffused my childhood. As puberty hit, I thought I was going mad with vivid otherworldly visions. In my early 20s with a meditation practice and therapeutic support I found relief when I could understand those visions and emotions as as prenatal memories.

Around 29, at the time of my Saturn Return, I had an unnecessary root canal in a perfectly healthy tooth 18. Due to a dental misadventure, one root canal turned into two root canals which soon both failed. Repeatedly. These lower left twin molars (teeth 18 & 19) ended up getting extracted (you can read the whole story in my book, The Secret Lives of Teeth).

It’s only in retrospect that I can interpret the metaphysical meanings of those troubled teeth, let alone understand them in the context of my unique framework of Tooth Archetypes.

The Secret Lives of Teeth

At the heart of my book, The Secret Lives of Teeth, are thirty-two detailed descriptions of archetypes that sum up the unique energetic imprint of each adult tooth. I developed these archetype descriptions from working with coaching clients to understand the metaphysical messages carried by symptoms in different parts of their mouths.

The Tooth Archetype for the lower left second molar is Conception. Symptoms in tooth 18 may be trying to reconnect you with a sense of unified love and ecstasy of your existence before birth.

As I wrote in my book, symptoms in tooth 18 are primarily communicating your relationship as a fetus/embryo with your mother, via the placenta. Ideally this all-encompassing connection was your original experience of human bonding. As such it is also mapped onto the relationship between your conscious mind and physical body.

However, since publishing The Secret Lives of Teeth, I’ve also found a connection with Vanishing Twin (or Triplet) Syndrome. Over my years as a holistic oral health coach, I would often have a breakthrough in my understanding of certain tooth archetypes when the same tooth would come up for discussion with several clients within a short time. This happened again a few months ago with tooth 18, the lower left second molar that I call the Conception Archetype.

Secret Tooth Archetypes

Tooth Archetypes are like job descriptions. The Tooth’s Archetype is a role that stays as potential rather than presence unless the Archetype is activated. Then the job starts to actually get done and the role is filled.

Tooth Archetype’s gets activated by your experience with three ‘S’s’: Silence, Secrets or Suppressed emotions. When one of the ‘S’s’ affects the qualities of a Tooth Archetype, that tooth may eventually, or immediately, start to try to get your attention.

Most people will only become aware of a tooth asking for attention when symptoms flare up i.e. decay or cavities, sensitivity or toothache, bleeding or receding gums.

However, when you really pay attention to your mouth, you can become aware of a Tooth Archetype activating before it turns into a physical symptom. You might be aware of a buzzing or tingling feeling, a sense of fullness, or just a feeling that is hard to describe in or around your tooth.

The earlier you can engage with an activated Tooth Archetype, the easier it is to avoid, stabilize or even reverse damaging symptoms in your mouth.

Lost Twin and Conception Archetype

Your lower left second molar may present with symptoms when something activates unconscious memories from your time in the womb. If the emotional energy of your mother around the time of your conception, as well as through the pregnancy and birth was influenced by secrecy, suppressed emotions or silence that could help explain later issues with tooth 18.

For example, if you were an unplanned baby, or your parent’s circumstances were difficult, this tooth could be asking for attention. Tooth 18 can be vulnerable to feeling that you are unwanted, your timing is off, or that you are not good enough to belong.

Or maybe your tooth is reminding you of a vanished twin or lost triplet, asking for you be explore that experience and release any stuck emotions. As a child you may have tried to explain feelings or ideas which could be related to a lost twin, but been shut down. Symptoms in tooth 18 may even be embodying resonances from an older sibling who was miscarried or stillborn, especially if they were never mentioned

The strength of this tooth is feeling an unconditional sense of being welcomed and loved, and believing your body is worthy of care. You can support your tooth by sending it loving thoughts while you brush and floss every day.

When you have current issues with your lower left second molar, you may decide to explore your prenatal life with meditation, journalling, counseling conversations, or other kinds of therapeutic practices. Develop a Healing Story for this tooth, which connects its metaphysical meanings with the unique circumstances of your early life, and current events.

If you can, ask your parents about the circumstances of your conception and pregnancy.

How was your mother’s emotional and physical health while she was carrying you?
Had she lost a baby to miscarriage, still birth or adoption before you were conceived?
Was there any sign (such as breakthrough bleeding) that you may have lost a twin?
Did she feel well supported during the pregnancy by her partner, family, friends, neighbors, and workplace?
Were there distressing world events or local news that made her feel unsafe or unsettled while pregnant with you?

Every single adult tooth has an Archetype, and there is a lot more to each Tooth Archetypes than even the discussion in this article. The Tooth Archetypes descriptions and framework are at the heart of my book, The Secret Lives of Teeth: Understanding emotional influences on oral health.

The Secret Lives of Teeth goes beyond the ‘spiritual meanings’ of teeth to engage with the oral effects of generational trauma, personal stress and adaptive emotional patterns.

It includes:

A unique and user-friendly system of Tooth Archetypes to guide you through the emotional landscape of your mouth explaining each adult tooth’s vulnerabilities and strengths.
An exceptionally in-depth explanation of Mouth Meridians, with a layperson’s guide to working with their energies.
A directory of Symptoms as Messengers to help translate the underlying influences on symptoms including abscesses, bruxism, cracks and chips, gingivitis, plaque, root canals, and receding gums.
A toolkit of self-help exercises to make it easier to develop a Healing Story which works with your symptom’s messages, to relieve symptoms and free yourself from shame and fear about your mouth.

Safely remove amalgam fillings

by Meliors Simms | Dentists, Healing, Holistic Dentists, Metaphysical Teeth, Root Canals, Toothache Remedy

What are amalgam fillings?

Amalgams are metal fillings that look silver when they are placed but soon turn a dark color that contrasts with the white enamel of your natural teeth. They are made out of an amalgam (blend) of different metals that can include silver, zinc, copper, tin, and mercury (usually about 50%). Amalgam fillings aren’t placed in adults as often as they used to be, so if you have one, it may be almost as old as your teeth.

The older the amalgam, the more likely it is to be leaching toxic mercury vapour into your body. The mercury in amalgam fillings can be released through wear and tear on the filling or the surrounding tooth, from oil pulling or even hot liquids. Visible signs that your amalgam filling may be compromised include the biting surface looking shiny (from clenching or grinding), cracks, chips, staining, or decay in the surrounding tooth.

Some people get very ill from mercury exposure and others can seem to cope with it for a long time. Your susceptibility to mercury toxicity is influenced by genetics, so not everyone will have the same level of reaction.

Nonetheless, amalgam fillings leaking mercury have been linked to the (usually) gradual or subtle development of gum problems, candida, neurological issues, fatigue, breathing difficulties, joint pain, skin rashes, kidney dysfunction, and gastro difficulties to name a few of a long list of possible symptoms of mercury poisoning. (ref)

Mercury can accumulate in the body from multiple sources, so if you’ve been exposed to mercury from eating fish or in your environment, that can build up along with any mercury leaching from your fillings.

Do you need to remove your amalgams?

The greatest risk of exposure to mercury poisoning from amalgams is actually while the amalgams are being removed from a tooth.

You can get really sick if it isn’t done correctly. The risk is less if the whole tooth is removed intact, but then you have lost a tooth, which should be avoided if possible.

As long as your amalgam filling is stable and you have no symptoms of mercury poisoning, then you may be better off leaving it in place for the moment.

Tests (e.g. hair, urine, EAV) can confirm whether you have mercury buildup in your body. Tests are also important to indicate the pace at which fillings can be removed safely. Your amalgam-removal dentist should first test to see if your body chemistry and organs are able to handle an amalgam-removal procedure

Who should remove your amalgams?

It’s really important to make sure your dentist has the specialist training and equipment to do the procedure safely.

The dentist should protect you during the removal procedure with equipment including

a nose mask for breathing oxygen
a rubber dam to isolate the filled tooth from the rest of your mouth
a cool electric drill to avoid damaging the pulp.
a lot of water during the drilling to capture particles and keep your tooth cool
special intra oral high speed suction (a specialised high veolcity vacuum cleaner with the opening placed very close to your moth to help take away any vapors and particles that the intra oral high speed suction may have missed
air filters in the treatment room

Your dentist should section the fillings out in chunks rather than grinding.

Specially trained dentists will describe their amalgam removal qualifications and set up on their websites. If you don’t see them advertising this speciality then find a functional, integrated, or biological dentist (search directories) who takes amalgam removal seriously.

Mercury detoxification

Mercury accumulates in the body, so you may not get relief from any mercury toxicity symptoms immediately after the amalgams are removed. There are protocols that can help flush (chelate) the mercury from your system more efficiently, for example by eating sulphur-rich foods (such as garlic) as mercury particles bind to sulphur to be expelled through the body’s waste disposal organs.

I recommend working with a naturopath, nutritionist, or health coach (like me!) who has experience with guiding people through mercury detox/amalgam removal experiences.

Timing your amalgams removal

Ideally, you would remove any amalgam fillings at least six months before conceiving because if the filling is compromised, mercury can be passed to the fetus. Removing amalgam fillings is not recommended while pregnant as doing so may contribute to miscarriage. It’s also unsafe to remove amalgams while breastfeeding due to an increase in mercury excretion immediately after they are removed. (ref)

Once you have started removing amalgam fillings its a good idea to have all your amalgams removed as quickly as possible, within 30 days. However, you should try to schedule multiple mercury removal appointments on different days of the week. The body’s immune system runs on a 7-day cycle, and is better able to tolerate subsequent procedures if they do NOT fall on the 7th, 14th, 21st or 28th day after your initial appointment. (ref)

Astrologically speaking, Mercury retrogrades can be an auspicious time to review the state of your existing fillings. If you already know that you have compromised amalgam filings and you’ve just been waiting for the ‘right time’ to take action, a Mercury Retrograde is probably it.

Mercury retrograde is an astrological transit happens about four times a year, whenever the planet Mercury appears to slow down and reverse, from our perspective looking from planet Earth. Mercury retrograde season has a reputation for frustrating communication difficulties and annoying travel disruptions.

But it can also be a powerful time to review, revise, remove and renew, depending on the sign its retrograding in and its relationship to your birth chart. Consider timing your amalgam removal to coincide with Mercury retrogrades through Virgo and/or your first or sixth house, or with aspects to Saturn or Chiron.

What is the energetic meaning of your amalgam filling?

The meaning of your amalgam filling(s) relates to the specific tooth or teeth where they are located. You can use my book, The Secret Lives of Teeth, to find out the spiritual/emotional/ancestral meaning of any tooth with a filling?

Understanding the Tooth Archetype that holds your filling can help you to have a more positive experience with amalgam removal.

Plus you can use the metaphysical toolkit in Chapter 10 to help ensure an uncomplicated outcome with the removal procedure, or to maintain a healthy tooth if you are choosing to keep your amalgam in place for now.
