Home remedies

Clove oil and the oil from rosemary leaves are supposed to help against inflammation and swelling. Both oils are dripped onto a compress as a tincture, which is then placed on the affected area of the mouth. After a short period of application, an analgesic effect can be expected.

Clove oil is also used in dentistry and has a calming effect that can take away the pain of the wound. Unfortunately, both oils are not bactericidal (bacteria fighting) and cannot change the germ environment within the oral cavity. Also the juice of the boiled savoy cabbage and the extract of chamomile are said to relieve pain in the oral cavity. However, there is no scientific certainty about the effectiveness of home remedies. Nevertheless, the application is not harmful and can therefore be actively pursued in addition to dental therapy, even if only with the consultation of a doctor.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy can help relieve symptoms after apicoectomy and at the same time treat the immune system that was damaged by the operation. It is recommended to take Arnica montana to promote wound healing. To counteract swelling, Belladonna and Apis mellifica are the preparations of choice.

There are dentists who specialize in homeopathy and in general the taking of the appropriate remedy and the exact dosage should be discussed with the doctor. In general, homeopathy can help accelerate healing and has a positive effect on the immune system. By restoring the body’s reaction mechanisms more quickly, the body can fully concentrate on wound healing, which is faster.

In order to avoid the pain of a root canal treatment and a possible apicoectomy, the only option is to extract the tooth and seek a prosthetic treatment. But even this can be unpleasant, because the prosthetic restoration has to be anchored and aesthetic and functional losses can occur. There are various possibilities of prosthetic treatment.

The gap could be filled with a bridge, a pin, or an implant, on which a crown is then placed. Such a restoration can come very close to a natural tooth, both aesthetically and functionally.Root canal treatment or apicoectomy is the last chance to save the natural tooth. If the financial means are available and the dentist believes that there is a good chance of success, the procedure is recommended to leave the natural tooth in the oral cavity as long as possible. If the pain is overcome and the apicoectomy is successful, the tooth can live a long time.
