SGGS Ji has many references to teeth.
At Angg 168, Guru Ji says,
“Jaise kaati tees batees hai vich rakhe rasna maas rat keri. ”
(Just as the tongue made of flesh and blood, is protected from the scissor like thirty two teeth.)
“Koyi jaano maas kaati ke kich haath hai sabh vasgat hai Har keri.”
(One may think some power lies in the tongue as it works, or some power lies in the teeth as they grind and cut, in reality all Power resides in the Unseen Lord who drives the tongue and teeth.)
Similarly, if anyone slanders the Saints, the Lord rushes Unseen to Protect His Saints, and preserves their honor.
“Tio Sant janna ki nar ninda kare Har rakhe paij jann keri.”
At Angg 642, Guru Ji says a jeev isteri who has the Lord’s Name in her mind and on her tongue, does not have any filth (of maya) on her teeth.
“Dandhi mail na kat mann jibhe Sacha soye.”
At Angg 1388, Guru Ji says if one forsakes the Lord’s Name and cherishes others, his teeth, tongue and mouth will waste and wear away in vain.
“Tisse tyaag aan ko jaache mukh dantt rassan saggal ghass jaavat.”
