I think I will go get drunk... >Gail Awww Gail it sounds as if you had a horrible day...here are some homeopathics I always use for dentistry: Aconite Used for: fear of treatment/surgery Arnica Sore gums; soreness after an extraction or after surgery Calendula (as a mouthwash) Used for: pain after treatment; healing after deep scaling; canker sores. Chamomila To recover from needle injections Gelsemium If you are apprehensive about treatment; trembling; fearful Hypericum Helps nerve pain after drilling; root canal work; tooth extraction Ledum Puncture wound from injection site sore after 24 hours Phosphorus For excessive bleeding; used after full anesthesia to antidote aftereffects Ruta Graevolens For deep aching or "dry socket" Homeopathy is the science of giving a person just a tiny bit of an herbal remedy that has been potentized. It will propel the body to make it's own recovery from that bit of remedy (sort of like a vaccination). I never go to the dentist without using homeopathy. Do not use St. Johns Wort before surgery. It will antidote the nerve-block anesthetics that dentists use. Do not use Arnica or Aconite BEFORE either, only afterwards. Follow directions on the bottle and always let your dentist know you are using a homeopathic remedy. Caffeine, mint, chemical smells and sunlight will quickly antidote a homeopathic so do not use these within 24 hours before or after a remedy is taken.
