Dosage Guidelines For Dental Remedies 200c and Under
HOW TO CHOOSE POTENCY:
When the treatment is prescribed on the basis of local signs and symptoms, prescribe low potencies, under 12c.
When the treatment is prescribed on the basis of a mixture of local, general, mental and emotional signs and symptoms, prescribe higher potencies, 30c – 200c.
TIMES REMEDIES SHOULD BE TAKEN:
Low potency remedies (under 12c)
• first aid every 5-30 minutes
• acute conditions every 30 minutes to hourly, decreasing to 3-4 times a day
Medium potency remedies (12c – 30c)
• one to three times a day
High potency remedies (30c – 200c)
• once a day
**ALWAYS REDUCE FREQUENCY WITH IMPROVEMENT**
The lower the potency, the shorter its duration of action (acute conditions).
The higher the potency, the longer its duration of action (chronic conditions).
WORK WITH A HOMEOPATH:
For any long-lasting or recurrent issues, I recommend working with a professional homeopath. Here is the NASH directory. Healthgrades has a directory. Or find a homeopath here.
Places To Order Remedies: Helios in the UK, Washington Homeopathic Products (WHP), or BoironUSA.com. There are also Pure Formulas and iHerb and Amazon. WHP will give you the most for your money. Helios is a the largest homeopathic pharmacy in the world.

Thanks for this article. I was just looking for natural tooth care products. In addition to the problems you list, could you give us some recommendations on basic tooth care naturally? I have very porous, cavity-prone teeth. I use all natural products in my home and body but feel I have to use regular toothpaste and Listerine because when I don’t my teeth literally fall apart + get cavities everywhere. (I have a genetic connective tissue disorder ). I know flouride is very bad for the body but it is the ony thing that seems to work on my teeth. I rinse really well after using but would still like to use something at least a little less harmful to the rest of my body. So I am researching and trying to find natural cleaners and cavity preventers. No luck so far on anything that actually works well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Jacqueline
Katie, I will email you! I have some thoughts to help you!

I value your thoughts!

Jacqueline,
Thank you for such an informative post!
I have “cracked tooth syndrome” and have scheduled a root canal in a few months. That is just how far out the dentist is scheduling. If the pain gets unbearable, I can call in and get an “emergency” appointment.
The sensitivity is actually in all four roots of one tooth, and one root of two other teeth. I am hoping to find a natural approach and avoid these procedures.
I see a couple of items here that may help with pain control, so that is great.
I have also read another post of yours about healing cavities naturally, and wondered about that approach helping with cracks in teeth. Your thoughts?
PS, the tooth with four painful roots also has a crown, so I don’t know if many topical applications will help with healing cracks. I am probably grasping at straws!
Thank you for your time and consideration of my question. I appreciate you very much!
