This guide lists homeopathic medicines that are commonly considered for toothache, along with the symptom picture usually associated with each one. It is general information only: homeopathic prescribing is individualised, so the right medicine depends on your complete case – please consult a qualified homeopathic doctor before taking any of them, and do not stop or change any current treatment without medical advice.
About toothache
Toothache can be caused by tooth decay and cavities, an infected pulp or abscess, gum disease, a cracked or worn tooth, an impacted wisdom tooth, a recent dental procedure, sinusitis or jaw-joint problems. The pain may be sharp, throbbing or dull, may come with sensitivity to hot or cold, and can spread to the ear or jaw. A dentist must find and treat the cause: homeopathic medicines can be used only as a supportive, short-term measure for comfort until you are seen. A warm salt-water rinse, a cold compress on the cheek, avoiding very hot, cold or sugary foods and gentle brushing help in the meantime. See a dentist urgently for facial swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing or opening the mouth, or a bad taste suggesting an abscess, as an infection can spread.
