Anyone on the list here a dental practitioner using homeopathy? How
effective really is homeopathy when it comes to dental care, treatment of
caries and plaque etc. I see so much in the books but would love to hear
from those who used homeopathic drugs successfully for dental care. I have
no doubt about homeopathy's success in toothache.
