159.0. "Tooth Problems" by RDGENG::HARWOODJ () Thu Feb 27 1997 08:19

    Tom
    
    Have you any suggestions as to a remedy that might just help
    keep my re-occuring tooth infection at bay.
    
    The senario is:
    
    I currently have a dressing in a previously infected tooth
    and hope to have the full treatment on it in 3 weeks time.
    In the meanwhile I'm praying that the infection will stay away
    long enough.
    We've been through this loop a number of time already.  
    Unfortunately, due to the long delays between placing the
    dressing and scheduled completion, the dressing has broken down 
    and allowed infection to creep back in.
    
    Inspite many 'phone calls, 3 weeks is the shortest gap we've
    been able to obtain.
    
    The dentist is now talking of removal if we can't prevent 
    re-infection.
    
    Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

	Well, your best bet is to see a professional homeopath. Sure, I can try to prescribe over the network, but I've only had limited success. Notes isn't the best place to look for a cure. Mouth/tooth infection. The first two remedies that come to mind are Baptisia and Hepar Sulph. I need to know if there is pain. What kind (sharp, throbbing, etc.) How bad is it? What makes it better/worse? Does the pain seem all out of proportion to the ailment? How are you reacting to the situation? (frantic, depressed?) Are you experiencing other symptoms along with the infection that seem like a coincidence? What color is the area? What does it look like? Are your glands swollen? Does it smell/taste bad? What does it taste or smell like? Is there discharge? What is that like? Even with all this information I'm not sure I could pick out the right remedy. There are people much better at it than me. I'm glad you at least have a dental(?) appointment lined up. Best of luck, Tom
159.2	Thank you	RDGENG::HARWOODJ		`Thu Feb 27 1997 14:47`	17
	Tom, Many thanks for your quick response. Your point about consulting a homoeopath is appreciated. Thank you for making it. As it happens, I'm only looking for suggestions - not a prescription. The sort of thing I might resort to if really caught out. If you're interested in the symptoms etc then I'll mail you off-line. The last thing I want to do is put people off - particularly if they're reading this during a lunch break :-) Judy

	Judy, Ok. Please mail me your symptoms. You can reach me at JAMIN::TBAKER (our node changed). This doesn't sound like fun :-( Tom
159.4	Try Anthium Dioxide (sp?)	POLAR::TURNERW		`Fri Feb 28 1997 04:06`	11
	Something that may help also is a mouth rinse with anthium dioxide ( fancy name for chlorine dioxide), which is something a lot of dentists state side are using for chronic halotosis. We've been using a 5% solution for a few years now for a lot of uses not just oral. It seems this stuff oxidizes bacteria and food films, and disinfects like crazy. The toxic rating is about the same as water (depending on where you live of coarse :) ). Cheers....Walt
