Caries
Caries is the most frequent dental illness – teeth are damaged by acids and bacteria. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read the theme on a symbolic level.
Our reading: an inner lack
In our reading, caries stands pictorially for an inner lack or missing “firmness”. Such images can stimulate reflection. Dental health depends on care, diet and dental attention.
What does that mean in practice?
- Attend to good oral hygiene and a tooth-friendly diet.
