Question and answer

Homeopathic medicine for teeth pain

Homeopathic products do not treat the dental causes of pain, so persistent tooth pain needs an examination and cause-directed dental care.

The short answer

Tooth pain commonly comes from inflamed pulp, decay, a crack, an abscess, exposed dentine, or inflamed gum tissue. A homeopathic preparation cannot remove decay, drain an abscess, seal a crack, or restore a damaged tooth, and delaying diagnosis can allow the cause to progress.
