Your mouth isn’t just a gateway—it’s a mirror into your emotional and energetic health.
In this episode, Nirvani sits down with Meliors Simms, author of The Secret Lives of Teeth and founder of the Tooth Archetype system. Known as the "Holistic Tooth Fairy," Meliors brings a paradigm-shifting perspective that redefines what your teeth are trying to tell you—literally. With years of experience supporting clients around the world through dental trauma, anxiety, and chronic issues, she maps the metaphysical and emotional roots behind what most people think are purely physical dental problems.
You’ll learn how suppressed emotions, unspoken truths, and unresolved life patterns often show up first—not in your mind or your body—but in your mouth. Meliors breaks down her powerful tooth archetypes, explains how they correspond with Chinese medicine meridians and life stages, and shares why your molar might be screaming about your career while your incisor is still processing childhood trauma. If you’ve ever wondered why a tooth keeps flaring up—or why your dental issues don’t make sense no matter how "perfect" your hygiene is—this episode gives you a radically different lens to understand what’s really going on.
You’ll Learn:
- How tooth archetypes reveal emotional and life-stage patterns stored in specific teeth
- Why oral symptoms often stem from suppressed emotions, secrets, or silences
- How traditional Chinese medicine meridians relate to energetic imbalances in the mouth
- What recurring dental issues can signal about unresolved professional or relational stress
- How to interpret sensations in the mouth before symptoms escalate to physical damage
- Why separating dental health from whole-body health leads to misdiagnosis and chronic issues
- How mapping your dental history can uncover personal, ancestral, or energetic root causes
- What to ask your dentist to regain agency and make more empowered treatment decisions
- How intuitive and somatic awareness can transform your relationship with oral health
- Why conventional dental care often fails without addressing metaphysical influences
