Next week i'm going back to the dentist to get a tooth implant. I had one done a couple months ago, but it got infected and fell out. It was incredibly painful for a full week. So painful i couldn't function without pain meds. My dentist said that it got infected because the implant was put in the same day the infected tooth was pulled out. I did end up taking Arnica and then Belladona. But it was too late.

I really don't want to take anti-biotics either. I didn't the first time until day 5 when i couldn't stand the pain anymore. The pain did stop, the infection surfaced, but the implant fell out. Basically i didn't plan things very well and i'd like to do better this time around.

Can anyone suggest a protocol? I've heard of people getting dental work done without any meds, and only using homeopathy.

Also...what do i do with all the mint and menthol mouthwash my dentist gives me to rinse with after everymeal because i won't be able to brush? Mint and menthol counteract homeopathic remedies, right?

Hello aili,

To reduce pain and haemorrhage, take one dose of Arnica 200c (or 200k) and one dose of Hypericum 30c (or 30k), both twice a day (morning + evening) for one day prior to procedure and approx. 5-7 days (as necessary) after procedure.
Also take one dose of each remedy half an hour for procedure.

If there`s a known tendency to bleeding take (additionally) Phosphorus 30c (or 30k) in the same dosage.

It`s possible to prevent infection if you take Pyrogen(ium) 30c, twice daily postoperatively for 6-7 days.

A mouthwash to reduce pain and promote healing can be made from Calendula mother tincture or lotion. Place 30-50 drops in approx. 500 ml of distilled or boiled cooled water and rinse (postoperatively) a few to several times times a day for a few days. You won`t need the other mouthwashes you mention in your post and yes ....they may antidote the hom. remedies !
