Young children find it difficult to handle the dentists’ chair and the drilling and filling involved which is a painful process. Find some tips on how to handle a visit to a dentist here.

Symptoms:

-Decay in teeth

Recommended Remedy:

Give one dose of Thuja Occidentalis 200C in the morning for ten days. Rinse mouth, especially affected teeth with a strong mixture of Plantago Major mother tincher thrice a day and then drink the mixture. Prepare the mixture by mixing 10-12 drops of the mother tincher in four to five teaspoons of clean mineral water just before application. This local application should be continued for at least 30 days before you find that tooth decay has stopped and the visit to the dentist is delayed. 

After the above treatment, give Kresote 30C three times a day for 7 days. This remedy helps in reducing tooth decay in new teeth. Repeat after a month or two.

Tip:

This problem normally indicated poor calcium intake or absorption by the child. You may want to pick up a  mixture of Ferrum Phos and  Calcarea Phos in 3X or 6X from a homeopathy shop and give the child three to four small tablets at least twice a day for a month or two.
