hi

Does anyone have any experience of success with using EFT for healing cavities in teeth that are caused by stress? I'd like to ask for some help in sorting out some set-up phrases that I can use daily over the coming weeks in order to heal my tooth (and the gum disease that is there already) so I don't have to have yet another filling. There is no pain just yet (or it's minimal) and I can see it's there, and I can catch my nail on the side of the hole.

I know it's caused by stress, confirmed as a likely cause by my Dentist due to where the teeth are getting cavities (not on the crown but on the sides) as this has been happening now in the past 4+ years after I had a nervous breakdown due to stress at work. I've had 2 cavities filled since that time so far, but nothing since the age of 23. I'm not in the stressful corporatre world that I was in as I left that over 3+ years ago. However, this year, due to a number of things going very badly wrong, I have been under yet more chronic stress for most of this year on and off, and I have found yet another hole on the side of my wisdom tooth, which I know is how my body deals with stress. It finds the weakest part of my pysiological make-up which in my case is my teeth, and weeks later, a hole appears. This hole was not there in March when I had my last check-up, so it's very recent.

I've read the EFT article on the Emofree website about the 7 yr old child whose Mum helped his cavities in his teeth with EFT successfully, but am not sure how to adapt the set-up phrases so these work for me. I'm a 47 yr old Mum of one 12 yr old!!

Any help or pointers anyone can offer, would be gratefully received. I'd like to get going on this as soon as I can.

Warm Regards, Ania

Hello Ania,

Welcome to the forum.  Gary Craig recommends trying EFT on everything...

I have not had experience treating cavities but as you seem certain that they are caused by stress, this gives us a big clue.

To start with I would make a list of all the situations that have caused you stress recently as you mention that you have been under stress on and off this year.  Another way is to write a letter to a very trusted friend and tell her/him about the last year.  Pay attention to your feelings as you recount what happens.  Pay particular attention to what you would rather skip and avoid telling, you might notice things you might like to embellish or lessen.  Also, as you do this you might remember other stressful times in your life, is there a pattern? a similar recuring feeling?

From what you write you will get a lot of material to tap on.  Keep checking back. Other things might emerge.  Use your own words. Remember that the purpose of EFT is to accept yourself and your feelings.

Betty Moore Hafter provides a number of acceptance phrases that you might find helpful. http://www.creativeeft.com/affirmingphrases.php as you acknowledge your issues.

Hope this helps you to start.

Best wishes,

Fabienne

Hi Fabienne

Thank you very much for your  post, that's a bit of a different way to what I thought I was going to do, but this is good, all good and workable.

I will do some work on this later today and see how I get on. I know I need to do some EFT on this regularly and every day. If a 7 yr old can be healed of cavities, then I must be able to do the same eventually. I also know that teeth can remineralise themselves although we are led to believe that they can't but I've read proof that they can :-) so there is hope that I can do something to improve my teeth.

Thanks once again.

Warm Regards, Ania

Hi Ania

 I too would like to heal cavities and gum disease via EFT.  How did you make out?

thanks

Hi Barb

I'm not sure as I've not been able to spend time consistently applying EFT which I know I have to do :-). I have done some simple EFT work late at night when I've been awake, but know I have to do more. Sorry I couldn't let you have any more feedback.

 some ideas i have for EFT tappping tips

fear of going to dentists

believing that fillings, cavities, root canals are "bad" - being open minded about htem is better.

fear of drilling

guilt about eating sugar

guilt about not brushing enough

guilt about stress causing damage

fear about the future

is there an intermediary that carries the stress into tooth decay, or is it direct? Eg does stress produce mouth acid that causes decay?

can drilled and filled teeth restore themselves in the future or only cavity filled ones?

 Hi Rachel

Thanks for these ideas. I'm not sure about teeth healing once they are filled but certainly I've read that either through EFT or even through dietary changes, people have healed their cavities. The thing that causes the holes to start even if you don't eat a lot of sugar (I veer between none and then chocolate and then none etc) is that the stress causes a build up of adrenaline and if that doesn't have a way out of the body, it turns to acid and it's the acid that causes the tooth to start to decay, as this is how it's happened with me from what one of my therapists has told me.my cavities ar enot on the crowns which would tend to be caused by food but on the side of the tooth, up in between where you can't easily get to them, which was the strange thing. My dentist had not seen this very often and was very creative with using a glass filling (and preserving as much of the tooth as possible) in the previous tooth that got damaged a couple of years ago :-).

I also know that I need to find a way of managing the stress, which I am looking at and keeping an eye on. I will work some of your suggestions into my simple EFT routine, typically done when I wake up in the middle of the night, with a racing heart :-). Not so good but it's getting better over time.
