What does Eastern medicine say is the significance of teeth?
I'd like to know what Eastern medicine says is the physio-pyschological connection where teeth are concerned. More specifically, I have beautiful, perfectly straight white teeth. However, I recently started noticing that the edge of my teeth by my gums are eroding. It started on the side teeth, but is now on the front teeth, as well. Because even the erosions are white (though the ones on side are a bit discolored), no one else has yet commented. I floss, brush, & don't smoke or drink a lot of coke or citrus beverages (though I do drink a lot of tea). Is there some sort of emotional, psych. problem with which I need to deal, that might make my gums healthier?
How do I remove plaque build up?
I brush my teeth daily, sometimes up to twice a day. I drink very few sugared beverages, but for some reason, I still get a lot of plaque build-up (also bio-film/tar-tar, I think). It became hard and it's stuck on my inner bottom teeth. May I also add that it has spread to other teeth slowly as well? It makes my gum VERY sensitive and unhealthy. Is it possible to remove it at home using any kind of products out there on the market? Going to the dentist is a "duh", but I would like to know other methods as well.
