Treating Your Toothache: Five Best Homeopathy Medicines

How many times have you missed work due to toothache? Do you remember the moments you had to sit through a meeting or family function with nerve-wracking tooth pain? You must have experienced it now and then. The mere thought of visiting a traditional dentist and surgery may terrify you. Most probably you would be satisfied with some oral medication.

In such a scenario, homeopathy offers you some simple, non-interventional and natural remedies; they can provide long-lasting relief to you, by getting to the root of the problem. Homeopathy medicines do not have any side effect, and work effectively over a prolonged period of time. Here are listed, for your benefit, five best homeopathic medicines, which can work as natural remedies for toothache.

Plantago for aching and sensitive tooth

Aching and sensitive tooth can be treated effectively with Plantago 6X. This natural remedy can reduce swelling caused by toothache. It is known to control the excess saliva that gets secreted and the pain which spreads from teeth to ears and sometimes to the eyes. It’s used as well to soothe aching, decayed, hollow teeth. For best results it’s taken internally and applied externally on hollow teeth.

Silicea and Hepar Sulph for pain due to abscess at the root of teeth

Abscess, a collection of pus, may form sometimes at the root of teeth. With pain due to this abscess, your gums and cheeks usually swell, and you may end up with fever. Cold climate and intake of cold items can worsen the situation. Silicea 6C, 12C, 30C and 200C and Hepar Sulph 30C are prescribed to treat the shooting pain from this abscess.  

Staphysagria and Merc Sol for pain caused by decayed teeth

Staphysagria 30C and 200C is recommended for pain caused by decayed teeth. Often the pain gets aggravated by the feel of food or drink on the affected portion. Merc Sol 30C and 200C too is prescribed for pain caused by hot or cold food and water intake. It is taken to control even excessive saliva secretion and bad breath.

Hecla Lava for pain with swelling around the jaw

Hecla Lava 30C is a fabulous natural treatment for tooth pain accompanied by swelling of the jaw. It provides quick relief from both tooth ache and jaw swelling.

Arnica and Hypericum for pain due to extraction

Extraction of tooth is quite common, but it could also lead to terrible gum pain. To help ease this kind of discomfort, Arnica 30C and 200C can be taken. Hypericum is suggested for nerve pain experienced after tooth fillings. Both these natural remedies can be taken alternatively for effective relief. 

Apart from the ones listed above, other homeopathy medicines like Chamomilla, Magnesuim Phos, Spigelia, etc., can also be administered under strict supervision of a licensed homeopathy practitioner to treat any kind of dental pain.

A homeopath works on a case-to-case basis, and therefore studies closely your history before prescribing medicines. The dosage is decided according to your age, temperament, behavior and nature. There are several generic medicines that may work, but it is recommended that you seek the guidance of a homeopathy medicine practitioner for safe and effective recovery.
