Why do symptoms repeat themselves? 

Have you noticed any problems with your teeth that have been following you for years? 

Something helpfull about this situation is that if we  could remember the history of our teeth , and the way that is this connected with our experiences  during our life. 

A story of my own

At the teenage age of 13, I had my first filling on the first molar on the lower left tooth. This tooth holds the number 36 in the mouth  which is represents the  emotional relationship with the mother, as well  it represents the  element of metal in chinese medicine which is related emotianally with sadness and grief. Ten years later, the tooth decayed, and I had to remake the filling. 

Then, after two years and experiencing a severe toothache, I had to do a root canal  treatment .a new filling  and  a crown . 

Over the next three years, the tooth fractured, broke, and I had to have it extracted. Then I got an implant, which caused me many problems integrating it with the jawbone, not knowing what might come next, and so on. 

Does this repetition in my tooth story remind you of anything? 

What happens to us when we have such repeated incidents? 

Do we need to dig deeper to find the natural causes of this destructive pattern? 

So let’s look at the story from the beginning: 

The first message to decode comes through tooth decay and filling in  36. This tooth represents the emotional connection to the mother, the relation to the lung and colon meridian, and the feeling of grief and separation in mourning. 

To better comprehend the message, I considered these significant questions: 

What had happened in that period of my life, the beginning of adolescence?  

What traumatic experience of mine is this tooth decay associated with? 

In my case, I remember being in a period of grief because of a loss that my whole family was experiencing at that time. My father’s house was severely damaged after intense earthquake activity in my hometown. So we were forced to move and demolish it. 

We managed to rebuild it after many attempts made by my mother. This experience was accompanied by intense sadness, despair, insecurity and separation. 

Symbolically, to refer back to the dental symptom, all this suggests the following message: 

“The space of my residence is changing dramatically.” 

 This has an impact, respectively, on my mouth and tooth space. 

 

Following two years full of terrible tensions at home, with financial problems, great sadness and anger on the part of my mother, but also many conflicts during my teenage life, my tooth faces a  severe toothache. Thus, the nerve of my tooth is getting died. A new feeling is made after root canal treatment, and a crown is placed. to support the tooth. 

When the house construction is almost completed, I move to another city due to studies. There, as I experience grief and separation again, new symptoms arise in my tooth, which now is tooth fracture and, ultimately, destruction of it. After all extraction, the story continues… 

An example of tooth disharmony

Let’s say a person with a severe toothache in a tooth visits his dentist, who diagnoses him that the damage to the nerve has progressed too much due to inflammation. So, he needs to have root canal treatment. 

The mere admission that there is an inflammation in the mouth and teeth testifies that there is an internal war in this person. This conflict within him may concern professional, personal, family, or any other situation, but it is always connected to profound traumatic experiences. 

The above leads the body to fight to survive the injury, ultimately causing inflammation. 

The mouth is the mirror of our physical, emotional and mental health

The psychosomatic symptoms that can appear in the period of adulthood have their roots much earlier, in the first stages of the person’s life. In these stages, internal emotional conflicts that do not resolve and cannot be managed by the person lay the foundation for future problems. The path each person chooses at this stage depends on their own individual history.  

When the mouth is hushed, the body cries out, hurts, and thus reacts to the battle going on inside. Pains (wounds) begin when speech expression is blocked. Any pathology of the teeth constitutes a violation of the sacred space and its vital functions and a cancellation of a human capacity or quality. 

How can I deal with the recurring symptoms that arise in my mouth? 

Exploring and looking back on my life timeline helps me be aware of and face the trauma imprinted on my body and influence my general health. So I can understand deeply  the  behaviour pattern that  my body and mouth  has adopted to response in every loss, grief and separation I experience in my life. 

More specifically, the pain and destruction in the area of tooth 36 will help me connect with my traumatic history, accept it with love. Thus, I will be able to proceed with  treatment safely, without side effects reminding me of the message that the tooth sends and without the risk of a recurrence of the symptom. 

Then, with the help of systemic constellation therapy that focuses in solution all the entanglements in my relationships within the family are illuminated and discovered.  The order of love  now  are restored in all systems i am part of: In my mouth, body and i my family and the theraputic journey  gets  started with safety 

It is, therefore, essential to broaden our  perception of our bodies and relationships on all levels. In this way, we can understand and embrace the complexity of our existence.
