 Homeopathy
and Mercury-free dentistry
Homeopathy
The uses of homeopathy in dentistry are manyfold. It is essential that
the remedies used are provided by a qualified practitioner and that the
remedies themselves are supplied by a bespoke manufacturer. Unfortunately,
remedies from the high-street chains are can be less effective due to
their lower strengths.
Homeopathic treatments in dentistry can help with fear, anxiety, surgical
healing, pain, bruising and swelling. There are also remedies to help
with periodontitis , teething babies, oral infection, and many other common
oral conditions.
After a consultation and detailed discussion involving many aspects of
the individual case history, remedies can be prescribed to treat the symptoms.Remedies
are as equally effective in the old as the young and have no side effects.
Remedies are also used during mercury removal, along with other measures,
to decrease the toxicity of mercury amalgam.
Mercury-free dentistry
The safety of the mercury contained within dental amalgam has been debated
for many years. The use of dental amalgam is now prohibited in Sweden
and Germany. Although no scientific evidence has yet conclusively proved
the risk to health, it would seem sensible not to place a known poison
into the mouth and leave it there for twenty years. It may also be worth
noting that after placing an amalgam filling, the residual material cannot
simply be disposed of in the normal bin-the residual amalgam must be disposed
of in a special poisons container and then collected by a specialist removal
company. The very same material that has just been placed into a person's
mouth!
There are now many alternatives to the use of dental amalgam which are
cosmetically superior and can be equally durable. At the Clock Tower Dental
Clinic existing amalgam is removed carefully under rubber dam isolation
and copious water irrigation. High-bore suction dramatically cuts down
the emission of mercury vapour.
Homeopathic remedies are also used to decrease any toxicity.
