Author: Brodsky Sergey Evgenievich Deputy Chief Physician, Candidate of Medical Sciences in the specialties: dentistry and medical microbiology Dental treatment is not the most pleasant procedure, which most half of the population is afraid of. Therefore, patients often resort to the lunar calendar when choosing a date for dental procedures to minimize the risk of complications and reduce pain during the procedure. Astrologers believe that the success of most medical procedures depends on the changing phases of the moon.
Why do you need to treat your teeth according to the lunar calendar?
The Moon, changing its position in the sky, influences the water in the seas and oceans, causing ebbs and flows, and other processes occurring on Earth. Lunar phases are taken into account when carrying out agricultural work and fishing, so humanity has long been forecasting the activity of the Earth’s satellite - the lunar calendar.
The Moon also affects all processes of the human body. First of all, it affects biological fluids - blood and lymph, in particular the degree of filling of organs. Therefore, the lunar calendar is taken into account when treating and removing teeth.
Moon phases and their effect on teeth and health in general
Human biological rhythms are determined by the phases of the moon
Lunar phases affect living organisms: water metabolism in plants, cyclical reproduction.
The new or waning moon determines the ebb and flow of the tides. Human biological rhythms are also determined by the phases of the moon.
The celestial body completes a full cycle in 29.6 days.
During this time, four phases change: new moon, waxing period, full moon, waning.
The Moon stays in each state for a little more than a week.
According to astrological information, scientifically confirmed, the phases of the celestial body determine the standing of people and influence what manipulations and health procedures are indicated and contraindicated during that period.
New moon
Many people in the initial phase of the new moon experience a sharp deterioration in physical and psychological health
The darkest nights of the cycle occur during the new moon period.
In astrology they are associated with the manifestation of demonic, mystical forces.
Many people in the initial phase of the new moon experience a sharp deterioration in their physical and psychological health.
During this period, there is an increase in interaction between the Sun and the celestial body closest to the Earth, because of this, water begins to leave the body at a rapid pace.
This causes weakened immunity.
Appetite also worsens, performance decreases, apathy and lethargy are felt throughout the body. Due to lack of water, difficulties arise with the respiratory system.
Nausea, sweating, and involuntary muscle twitching appear.
Susceptibility to disease increases, chronic diseases worsen. It is not advisable to carry out serious manipulations with your body during the new moon phase, this also applies to dental treatment. The body will perceive surgical interventions as a blow to its immune system.
During the new moon, it is recommended to refuse treatment or dental prosthetics; take preventive measures during this period. Relaxing procedures are indicated for the body as a whole. Massage, warm baths with essential oils, and therapeutic fasting will be beneficial.
Waxing Crescent
The waxing moon phase allows you to carry out therapeutic manipulations with your body. But they must be balanced. A person’s energy field strengthens, making it easier for him to perceive interventions.
Surgical operations are still not recommended, since it is not clear how the body will react to them. It is possible to treat caries and install fillings during this period.
In general, for the body during this period, the beginning of medical therapy is indicated - in the phase of the waxing Moon, the body is tuned to changes and adapts to them faster.
Full moon
Even if the drug is administered correctly and in the right dosage, there is a risk that it will cause an adverse reaction.
The full moon phase, when the Moon opposes the Sun, is characterized by instability.
If men react more brightly to the new moon, then the opposite is true with the full moon.
Women during this period feel ambivalent: they are haunted either by apathy and depression, or by causeless joy and euphoria.
It is unpredictable how medical therapy may turn out during this period.
A sign of unfavorability is also that during the full moon the body absorbs the maximum of the funds it has received.
Even if the drug is administered correctly and in the right dosage, there is a risk that it will cause an adverse reaction.
Nervous diseases, aggressiveness, and excitability also become aggravated, which does not allow any manipulations with the body and teeth in particular. Another reason to refuse interventions is increased blood loss and poor wound healing.
Waning moon
As you approach the new moon in a few days, you feel a decrease in immunity and a deterioration in well-being.
In this phase, the body returns to its best state, the fluid level returns to normal, the energy level is even and stable.
Implementation of health procedures, including dental treatment, is recommended.
During the waning moon phase, the following are useful:
- removal of toxins and waste;
- surgical interventions;
- treatment of kidneys and gastrointestinal tract;
- dental treatment and prosthetics;
- weight loss procedures.
When approaching the new moon, a decrease in immunity and a deterioration in well-being are felt within a few days. One or two days before the new cycle, stop the healing procedures.
Moon eclipse
A lunar eclipse is an unpredictable period. Its effect on the body is different. Some feel a surge of strength, while others simply cannot get out of bed due to decreased vitality.
Important! During a lunar eclipse, it is recommended to postpone all procedures related to the treatment of teeth and the body as a whole.
Getting rid of panic fear
It sounds fantastic, but here are a few facts that will help you sober up and at least in theory understand that tooth extraction is not a terrible procedure at all:
- Tooth extraction is a long and very painful operation. This stereotype. Today, removal takes just 15-20 minutes. Conventional anesthesia is used, which is commonly called “freezing”. The patient does not feel anything (absolutely anything) - there is only an unpleasant sensation that the doctor is “fidgeting” in the jaw, but there will be no pain. There is, of course, a chance that the anesthesia will not work on you - but if you have successfully treated your teeth before, you don’t have to worry about it,
- anesthesia is really enough for the entire period; today local anesthesia is used even when installing implants - artificial analogues of tooth roots,
- the likelihood that complications will begin after tooth extraction is less than 5%,
- If a diseased tooth is not removed in time, this can lead to phlegmon, the spread of pus throughout the body. In this case, the treatment will take much more than 15-20 minutes...
You definitely need to fight your fear; perhaps you should visit a psychologist (surely, the root of the problem lies somewhere deep and even comes from your childhood). Try to get the mindset that tooth extraction is a necessity. Choose a professional doctor with whom you feel comfortable communicating - if you trust him, the operation will take place in more pleasant conditions.
During what phases of dental treatment is the most beneficial?
Depending on the type of treatment, how beneficial the effect of therapy is is determined. During the new moon, therapeutic treatment is carried out starting from the second day of the cycle.
Metabolic processes begin to accelerate as the full moon approaches, so it is effective to:
- During the waning moon, the work of the immune system is at its maximum, recovery occurs quickly
filling;
- removal of wisdom teeth;
- Preventive cleaning from plaque and deposits.
During the period of the waning moon, the work of the immune system is maximum, recovery occurs quickly.
Shown:
- filling;
- deletion;
- installation of bridges, braces, staples and dentures;
- other types of surgery.
Which ones are unfavorable?
In the first days of the new moon and the last days of the waning moon, the full moon is an unfavorable period. Regeneration processes slow down, immune functions decrease. Dental procedures cannot be performed.
Neutral
The phase of the convex Moon is favorable for cleansing from toxins and waste, so cleaning and prevention in dentistry is possible. However, in this cycle bleeding increases, which will adversely affect the removal.
Dental treatment according to the lunar calendar depending on the zodiac
The zodiac sign in which the Moon is located affects the body.
In astrology, the planet Saturn is responsible for the health of the teeth and oral cavity, and depending on how the horoscope constellation and it are combined, treatment occurs:
- In Taurus. The ears, jaw and tongue are more affected. Filling or removal can be carried out during a favorable phase - during the waning Moon. It is recommended to reduce the susceptibility of mucous membranes using herbal decoctions.
- In Cancer. The absorption of vitamins, especially calcium, increases. It is recommended to take them. Surgical interventions are permitted.
- In Libra. If the Moon is waning, then you can put fillings, but with a different cycle - not.
- In Capricorn. The use of non-steroidal drugs is limited; if treatment is associated with their use, it cannot be carried out.
- In Aries. Blood pressure increases - you can’t pull teeth.
- In Aquarius. Anesthetics have minimal effect during this period, so removal should be postponed.
- In Virgo. The likelihood of bleeding is increased - surgical interventions are prohibited. Cleaning and filling are allowed at any phase of the moon.
- In Sagittarius. Neutral days. All dental procedures are permitted, but without fanaticism.
- In Pisces. Increased dizziness prevents dental treatment.
- In Gemini. Swelling is possible, so anesthesia is not used.
- In Leo. Filling is allowed, but removal should be delayed - there is a risk of bleeding.
- In Scorpio. When the moon is waning, all procedures can be carried out, but when the moon is waxing, not.
Influence of the Zodiac sign
The result of all procedures performed on the oral cavity is closely related to the passage of the Moon through all 12 signs of the Zodiac at a specific time, and the natural satellite stays in each sign for 2-3 days. Everyone knows that each zodiac sign has its own characteristics and properties.
Favorable signs for dental treatment:
Moon in Gemini, Leo and Sagittarius - perform dental sanitation without removing nerves.
Moon in Cancer - whiten your teeth.
Moon in Virgo - get your teeth sanitized, place implants.
Moon in Libra - perform aesthetic dentistry procedures.
Moon in Scorpio and Aquarius - have your teeth removed.
Dental treatment depending on the lunar day
The lunar calendar influences the procedures, since the phase of the celestial body determines the state of the body.
Favorable:
- 3,4 and 5 days of the waning moon for tooth extraction (wounds heal quickly, the risk of inflammation is minimal);
- 2, 27 and 28 days for cleaning the canals (allergic reactions decrease, inflammation rarely occurs);
- Days 6 and 14 for filling (the process of healing and acceptance of the material by the body is successful);
- 6, 24 and 30 days for installation of crowns (little pus discharge and edematous conditions appear);
- 1.4, 8, 10-19, 21-25 days for therapy and preventive cleansing (immune system in normal condition).
Important! Unfavorable days for visiting the dental office are the 7th, 20th and 29th days of the moon phase. On these days, immunity decreases, bleeding and swelling are possible.
How to schedule a tooth extraction according to the lunar calendar?
To plan tooth extraction should take into account the sign in which the celestial body is located, a specific day, as well as what phase the Moon is in.
Before visiting the dentist, consider:
- It is better to remove teeth when the Moon has entered its waning phase
Removal is successful when the Moon is in Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus and Sagittarius;
- A few days before and after the full moon, all dental procedures associated with surgery should be postponed - they cause profuse bleeding and swelling;
- It is better to remove teeth when the Moon has entered its waning phase. During this period, the risk of complications is minimal.
You can find out when it is favorable to remove teeth yourself by looking at which zodiac circle and day the celestial body is in.
For this purpose, special tables have been developed for the year, which are easy to navigate.
Prosthetics
Dental prosthetics are done on the waning moon, in extreme cases - on the 3-6th day of the new moon. This is due to the fact that on other days there is a risk that the device will not take root and will be rejected as a result of swelling or an allergic reaction.
Lucky days on which it is better to get dentures are when the celestial body is in Leo, Taurus, Scorpio.
Recommendations for visiting the dentist
To avoid infections and other complications, you should remember which moon is best for dental treatment and surgery. You should not visit the dentist on a young moon.
Surgery during the full moon risks severe bleeding. The best time to carry out any operations is from the 16th to the 30th lunar day - the period of the flawed Moon.
There are also unfavorable days in any month of the year: 9.15, 19, 23, 29th lunar day. The body's protective functions decrease at this time and complications often arise. You should plan to visit the doctor on favorable days when you can treat and remove teeth according to the lunar calendar: 6, 16, 24, 28 days.
