Hi thank you so much, everyone,

I'm following the advice posted here for an infected tooth that the dentist said either had to be extracted or root canaled. Added to much of the advice here, I am now taking the homeopathic remedy Arsenicum Alb 7ch.

The homeopath who gave it to me said ´"use it til the dentist says "you´re fine! "´ I am continuing with the natural remedies at the same time- hopefully they don't negate the homeopathy Will definitely tell you what happens.

Thank you Griselda for being so detailed in your description. This is super helpful. I was looking for something to put over my tooth at night and propolis is perfect! I actually got some gum out to try it but I thought it would hurt with the sugar content. I tried some polymer clay to protect it but it wouldn't stick. I figured if I could put something over it then the air won't hurt it so much or the water. Even room temperature water hurts now.

So far I've been trying to consume raw garlic. I have put a fresh piece over the area but it can burn. I've also found that I can wrap a piece of bread around the fresh garlic and chew it together so I can consume it without burning my tongue while chewing. I've also swished with garlic oil mixed with some olive oil. I try to force it between my teeth while swishing to get at any painful or infected areas.

I've had good luck getting a small piece of cotton from the end of a q-tip and saturating it with water. Then I put a drop of pure clove oil on it. I put this cotton carefully where the broken tooth is or between the two teeth that hurt. This cotton keeps the cold air from getting into the gap in the tooth. The clove oil then numbs the pain and keeps the area clean. Sometimes I am desperate enough to gently rub a tiny bit of the straight oil on my gums at the base of the tooth. If done too much it burns the gums.

For pain I rub some tea tree oil over the abscess area or at the base of the tooth where the nerve is. This gives relief for several hours sometimes.

At night I make up some clay mixed with colloidal silver and tinctures like echinacea, calendula, cleavers. I spread the clay on a long slender piece of gauze and stuff it between teeth and gums in the area of the infection. In the morning the pain is often gone for good.

Also had good luck swishing watered down tincture made of 'toothache plant' aka spilanthes. This relieves the pain for quite some time. It has antifungal properties and actually can numb.
