Caries
Caries is the most frequent dental illness – teeth are damaged by acids and bacteria. Prevention and treatment belong in dental attention. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally read the theme on a symbolic level – expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.
Our reading: an inner lack
In our reading, caries stands pictorially for an inner lack or missing “firmness”. Such images can stimulate reflection – but they are no claim about causes and replace no dental care. Dental health depends on care, diet and dental attention.
Dental decisions belong in professional hands
Whether and which filling is used, or whether an old filling should be replaced, is decided by the dentist according to the finding. We make no recommendations about it and no statements about materials.
What does that mean in practice?
- Attend to good oral hygiene and regular check-ups.
- Clarify complaints and decisions about fillings with the dentist.
- Understand the symbolic view as a supplement, not as a substitute.
Note: This article renders a personal, worldview-based view and is not medical advice. It replaces no medical diagnosis or treatment. For health questions please turn to a doctor or pharmacy; do not discontinue prescribed medication on your own initiative.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Kyborg Institute read caries?
We read caries symbolically as an image for an 'inner lack' or missing firmness. That is a worldview-based reading and no medical statement about dental health.
Do yoga or energy pyramids protect against caries or metal exposure?
No. Such suggestions we have removed. Dental health depends on care, diet and dental attention, not on an inner attitude or an object.
Should one have old fillings removed?
That is decided solely by the dentist – depending on the finding. Please do not make such decisions by lay opinion, but clarify them professionally.
