Doctors have discovered something new,that each of your tooth is associated with an organ in your body such that if a certain teeth feels pain, it means some organ is the cause.
For instance, cuspids, or canine teeth are linked to the condition of your liver and gallbladder, whereas the condition of your kidneys, ears, and bladder is closely related to your upper and lower incisors.
According to experts, molars are linked to stomach, spleen, and pancreas, while premolars with lungs and colon. When it comes to the condition of your heart and small intestines, wisdom teeth are the ones which can reveal a potential problem.
Nevertheless, not all internal problems are accompanied by a tooth damage. In some cases, you can feel mild pain and discomfort around a perfectly healthy tooth, but you can also feel pain in an area around a tooth that has been removed a long time ago. This is a phantom pain that appears as a result of the messages aimed for the corresponding tooth, sent by the affected organ.
Knowing the exact link between teeth and internal organs will help you detect the organ which deals with some problem. This will allow you to provide a proper treatment, and prevent more serious complications.
