Toothache is one of those pains that can feel all-consuming. Clearly, the source of the pain is something that may require attention from a dentist, but homeopathic remedies will help the pain while you wait for that attention and will also accelerate the healing process.
If your toothache has come on after a visit to the dentist, Arnica is the first remedy to think of as the dentist may have had to cause some bruising, but if there has been some nerve damage too, then go to Hypericum, the nerve tonic, after Arnica. Hypericum will be your best bet if you feel as if the nerve is exposed and is causing sharp, shooting pains.
One of the best remedies for teething babies and wisdom teeth is Chamomilla. For the person needing Chamomilla, the pain will feel completely intolerable and will make them angry or very emotional and pretty hard to be around. They will want to have cold things placed on the area that is affected and be thirsty for cold drinks.
Think of Mag Phos if Chamomilla hasn’t quite done the job and you need something to match an even more intense response to the pain. The person needing Mag Phos will scream or cry out with the pain and may be reduced to tears. This remedy would suit neuralgic pain that shoots through the affected areas, which may be in decayed teeth or in teeth that have recently had a filling. The person needing Mag Phos is likely to want to put warmth onto the area to make things feel better.
If you have an infant who is teething or who tends to suffer with a long, drawn-out teething process, consider the Schuessler cell salt combination R that contains building-block minerals that ease pain and aid the process of dentition.
A home remedy to complement your home homeopathic prescribing is Clove Oil. Add a few drops of clove oil to some olive oil and apply it to the affected area for pain relief.
