The Mouth is the Mirror of the Body

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Philip_Christie] Philip Christie Over the last 26 years I have had the privilege of examining hundreds of thousands of mouths as have most full-time clinical dentists. It is not always viewed as a privilege, however. I have often been so overwhelmed by the number of cases placed on my day list that I wondered if I could manage to get through the day. It sometimes seemed that there was an endless queue of people with an endless queue of teeth and endless problems. What was worse, I found that problems solved did not stay solved but recurred again and again in the same mouth. Sometimes the cycle of recurrence was long and we got many years out of it, other times the cycles were upsettingly short and treatment was disappointingly inadequate. No matter how I kept up to date and whatever innovation I employed, the underlying pattern did not really change. I truly desired to understand the repeating patterns of disease that I was observing. The gentle light of understanding slowly began to clear away the confusion and fogginess and I began to appreciate what was behind the repeating patterns. Looking in a person's mouth is actually like looking into the pages of a book. The book depicts and accurately reflects the story of the life whose mouth it is. It is truly the life's reflection. It is truly the mirror! This was my inspiration for the poetic expression which explains all in few words. The Mouth is the Mirror of the Body Look carefully into the Mirror of your Mouth
And the Reflections you behold
Will show you things about yourself
That without your Mirrors gentle help
Would remain hidden and untold . The gentle light of Understanding
Allows you to appreciate
The simple truth of patterns and rhymes
Ghosts of Guilt from childhood times
That in Forgiveness dissipate Now can the dark clouds of shame and sadness
Give way to a healed bright mind in gladness. My name is Philip Christie. I qualified as a Dental Surgeon at Trinity College, Dublin (Ireland) in 1980 and completed a Masters Programme in Dental Science, again at Trinity College Dublin, by research in 1995. I have been working full time in dental care either in general practice or specialist practice since qualification. My main interest is and always has been prevention. My real qualification is 23 years experience in dealing with real people and their problems face to face, as a clinical practitioner. I am the author of Something To Chew On: A Mouth Map To Health. It is a Health Manual with a difference. Different because it is designed for the future and for success. It is different because it gives the power back where it belongs, to the persons own self. Different because it prevents problems at source and saves on treatment and cost! Philip.christie3@ntlworld.ie
