Nice chart, but does that mean if that certain tooth is infected, that it will also affect those organs or gland?

thanks

Hi Jerry,

The chart indicates the different meridians (areas) that are associated with different teeth via the blood vessels and anatomical branches of nerves that run throughout our body and mouth. It is not unusual for someone to experience pain or illness in an area of the body that is anatomically associated with inflamed/infected gums.... or a tooth/teeth that are inflamed, infected, root canaled or had an apicoectomy.

The best way I can describe it is.... once a tooth is infected, it remains that way irrelevant of what is done to it because there is no way to remove all of the infected nerve material from the thousands of microscopic canals. The infection proliferates from the tooth into the jawbone causing a necrotic and ischemic reaction. With regard to periodontal disease, because it is a progressive bacterial infection, unless it is brought under control it too will cause necrosis and ischemia of the jawbone. Both conditions will tax the immune system and cause/contribute to systemic disease.

Does that make sense to you or would you like me to clarify it differently?
