The Wisdom of Teeth

This is an unusual book, and coins the term 'dentosophy' as a gateway to health, whereby oral balance corresponds to total balance. It is informed by long practical experience and illustrated with some remarkable transformations of teeth based on the use of a latex mouthpiece that one chews on and which was invented by Prof A. Besombes. This is put forward as an alternative to the usual practices of extraction, surgery and orthodontics and it is argued that such treatment can also rebalance conditions in other parts of the body by stimulating our healing potential. The philosophical background is that of Rudolf Steiner, and the book takes the reader through links between mouth and body as well as the relationship between oral balance and a variety of ailments. Spiritually, a deeper listening is involved, moving from intellectual awareness to intuition and a gradual process of harmonisation and enhanced well-being, that also contributes to the macrocosm.
