Strong Smiles & Healthy Teeth
Dental Support Part Two: Fillings, Extractions & Cavities
We’ve been told for years that cavities mean drills and damaged teeth mean immediate extractions. But what if there’s more to the story?
The truth is, teeth are bones. And like bones, they can often heal when given the right tools, nourishment, and time. Before we jump to invasive dental work, there’s wisdom in slowing down, supporting the body, and considering what healing could look like from the inside out.
A Holistic Take on Dental Care
Healthy teeth aren’t just about brushing. It’s about what we eat, what we use, and how we support the whole body. Here’s what I believe and practice in my own home:
• Stick to whole foods and minimize processed, sticky, sugary snacks
• Skip the fluoride. It’s not the hero it’s claimed to be. It actually hinders the natural remineralization process of teeth.
• Look for remineralizing ingredients like non-nano hydroxyapatite in your toothpaste.
• Catching cavities early? Ask about ozone treatments. They can halt decay and give the tooth a chance to heal.
• Choose minimally invasive dental care when it’s needed but let’s not rush to fill or drill just because something might become a problem.
You deserve a dentist who sees the full picture, not just a shadow on an x-ray.
Rooted Remedies for Recovery
Now, let’s talk about those moments when dental work is necessary. Fillings, extractions, and all the post-chair discomfort. These are my top three remedies for a faster, smoother recovery:
Arnica Montana 30c
For pain, bruising, and trauma. This is your dental first responder. Use after fillings, extractions, or any invasive work to reduce swelling, tenderness, and shock to the tissue. Arnica helps the body bounce back quicker and calmer.Hypericum Perforatum 30c
For nerve pain and shooting sensitivity. If the pain feels electric or shoots through the face or jaw, Hypericum is your go-to. Especially helpful after extractions or deep drilling that hits close to nerves.Staphysagria 30c
For incisions, extractions, and feeling “cut into.” This gem is specific to surgical-type wounds. Whether it’s an incision, a pulled tooth, or just the emotional impact of dental trauma, Staphysagria supports both body and spirit.
Dosing Instructions: Choose the remedy that best matches the symptoms. Take 2 to 3 times a day for 2 to 3 days, or every one to two hours if symptoms are more intense. Pause if there’s clear improvement and let the remedy continue to work. Resume if symptoms return.
Bonus Tip for Cavity-Prone Kids and Adults
If your child or you are prone to cavities, consider adding Calc Fluor 6x and Calc Phos 6x to your daily rhythm. These two cell salts are rich in calcium and work at a cellular level to strengthen bones and support the structure of the teeth.
• Calc Fluor helps with enamel integrity and elasticity of tissues
• Calc Phos supports healthy bone growth and mineral absorption
Together, they gently nourish the body’s foundation and help build stronger, more resilient teeth. No side effects, just simple, powerful support. Take 2 to 3 times a day for best results.
We’re not just filling cavities. We’re reclaiming confidence.
When you walk into the dentist’s office equipped with knowledge, natural remedies, and a whole lot of intention, you’re not just reacting, you’re leading. You’re choosing care over fear. Options over pressure. Rooted healing over quick fixes.
So whether it’s your child climbing into the dentist’s chair or you facing a filling of your own, know this. There’s support waiting in your purse, quiet but powerful. Homeopathy doesn’t replace dentistry. But it sure makes recovery gentler, quicker, and more empowered.
Let’s root for real healing. Let’s do dental care the Living Rooted way.
