Zahnschmerz Materia medica

Most people hate going to the dentist. Even the for the most minor reason, dental appointments can cause a grown man, or woman, to quake with fear. Regular dental hygiene at home is a big step toward preventing dental problems; and basic home care can be enhanced with a variety of herbal and homeopathic treatments to relieve pain and resolve minor gum and tooth problems.

Liquid Calendula

Calendula is the herbal extract from marigold and has been used medicinally for centuries to relieve a wide range of conditions. A calendula mouthwash makes a soothing treatment for any number of gum and mouth disorders. It heals the soft tissue, relieving bleeding gums, mouth ulcers, herpes lesions, dry sockets after extractions, and more.

Clove Oil

Clove oil is an old folk remedy for relieving a toothache or dry socket after tooth extraction. It possesses analgesic and antiseptic properties and is highly effective for numbing the area, relieving the pain.

L-Lysine

L-lysine helps the body metabolize vitamin C. A deficiency of the amino acid L-lysine may lead to bleeding gums, anemia and scurvy, a disease characterized by collagen breakdown in the gums. L-lysine is not manufactured by the body and must be gotten from foods or supplements. Foods containing the highest sources of L-lysine are all citrus fruits, broccoli, red peppers, melons, tomatoes and strawberries. Because L-lysine is rich in anti-viral properties, supplements may prevent breakouts and relieve symptoms of herpes.

Vitamin C Powder

Applying vitamin C powder directly to gums will not only relieve pain and bleeding, but may also help tighten the gums, protecting teeth and slowing the progression of periodontal disease. In some instances, regular application of vitamin C powder has saved loose teeth from falling out.

Arnica

Homeopathic arnica is helpful for relieving swelling and bruising in the mouth and around the gums after surgery, after extractions and even after orthodontist adjustments. Several doses of arnica after a tooth extraction can promote faster healing and relieve pain almost immediately. Do not take arnica before any dental surgery because it may encourage bleeding.

Belladonna

Homeopathic Belladonna can quickly relieve a toothache where there is deep throbbing pain. The person may have swollen red gums around the site of the painful tooth.

The toothache may have started suddenly and may be relieved by the application of warm compresses.

Mez.: often useful in cases of very violent neuralgic pains about the teeth or face (l. bone), running towards the ear; also neuralgic pains at night in the teeth. Affections of

any kind appearing on the external head (r. side); teeth left side; forehead; shin bone. [H.N. Guernsey, M.D]

Ruta graveolens

Homeopathic Ruta graveolens may provide pain relief during a toothache or after an extraction when the pain is experienced in the bone around the base of the tooth and

in the jaw. Generally, the quality of the pain feels bruised.

Staphysagria

A well known remedy for toothaches; and in some instances, it may completely relieve tooth or gum pain, avoiding a trip to the dentist. Pain may be very intense and sharp

and may extend to the face and head, causing extreme sensitivity. It is generally felt on the left side; this remedy can relieve almost all types of toothaches.

Dental Operations

If a tooth socket starts to bleed after extraction, encourage the person to spit the blood out rather than swallow it. Place a clean pad of gauze over the socket and ask the person to bite on it for 15-20 minutes. Once the bleeding has stopped, rinse the mouth with Hypericum and Calendula solution; this can be repeated every 30 minutes.

If severe bleeding persists, go back to the dentist.

Specific remedies to be taken even 5 minutes for up to 10 doses after dental treatment

PAIN: Hypericum 30c, if failing Staphysagria

Bleeding: Phosphorus 30c

If a front tooth is knocked out, put it back in immediately, the right way round. If this is not possible put the tooth in milk and get to a dentist as quickly as possible.
