Oral Surgery and Homoeopathy

posted in: Dental Health, Homoeopathy, Surgery | 0

If you are having an oral surgery procedure follow the same principles and remedies as you would for other surgery. It’s helpful to prepare in advance for the surgery and recovery process with appropriate remedies, tissue salts, vitamins and mineral supplements.

Before surgery: If you are anxious Gelsemium or Aconite can be very good for calming pre-surgery nerves. Start 2-3 times daily from a few days before the appointment. To help protect against infection take Pyrogen on the day prior to surgery and continue for several days. If there is a bleeding tendency or for people who have adverse reactions to anaesthetics use Phosphorus, starting with a few doses prior to the procedure.

Post operative recovery: Arnica is an excellent remedy for surgical shock, and for the bruised sore feeling following surgery. Hypericum is for nerve damage and repair. For pain at the incision site and to promote repair after any incised wound use Staphysagria. If there is threatened infection at the site take Hepar sulph followed by Silica. To assist in repair of bone and periodontal tissue after difficult extractions or oral surgery use Ruta grav regularly.

Convalescence: Depending on how complicated and difficult the procedure was you should expect some moderate swelling and pain. Continue Arnica and Hypericum until healing is underway. If you suspect infection then immediately start Hepar sulph or other indicated remedies and contact your dentist. Dry socket is relieved by Ruta grav.
