must be aware of these hidden areas in the jaws, especially<br />

when all other points in the oral cavity look healthy.<br />

Wisdom teeth exert an influence on many of the body‟s<br />

systems: the central nervous system, limbic system (mental<br />

attitude), heart, small intestine, kidney function, inner, middle,<br />

and external ear, and the tissues associated with these systems.<br />

Dr. Voll said, “one hundred percent of heart problems are related<br />

<strong>to</strong> wisdom teeth or where they were.” He reminds us that the<br />

major meridians are connected throughout the entire body <strong>by</strong><br />

secondary meridians. Bad teeth on the right side can cause<br />

problems that cross over <strong>to</strong> the left side of the body. Without<br />

knowing these relationships we are unable <strong>to</strong> find many health<br />

problems.<br />

Case: David, age 17, depression<br />

David had one mercury amalgam filling in his lower right first<br />

molar, and was taking anti-depressants. He was on a very good<br />

diet, and had a good home life, with caring parents. But Dr.<br />

S<strong>to</strong>ne found a problem with his wisdom teeth when checking<br />

with CEDS, and advised David <strong>to</strong> have his wisdom teeth<br />

removed.<br />

<strong>My</strong> first step was <strong>to</strong> remove that one mercury amalgam<br />

filling; after I removed the right upper and lower wisdom teeth,<br />

David‟s mood and mental functions quickly improved. Aware of<br />

the results from his extractions, David was very willing <strong>to</strong> have<br />

the left wisdom teeth removed on his second appointment.<br />

Associated with the nervous system, kidneys, and the small<br />

intestine, the wisdom teeth play a major role in the mental and<br />

physical health of many patients. Be aware of this when being<br />

treated <strong>by</strong> health professionals who do not understand the oral<br />

cavity‟s relationship <strong>to</strong> our entire body.<br />
