Hi-
Do you know if this decay is caused by drinking milk before bed,
juice bottles or milk at night?
Before bed kids need to brush and only have water at night, as
the milk, juice or even water with sugar stays on the teeth causing
decay.
The Dentist, ( hope it is a dentist who handles children well-)
has to either remove the tooth- put a spacer in there or do root canal to get rid of
infection and hold the place for the new teeth to come in correctly.
Even if homeopathic remedies got rid of some pain, that does not
mean that infection is stopped in the tooth root or gums and
that infection can stay hidden and make the child weak as it drains
life force energy.

Dear Simone:
Thank you for responding.
My daughter does not have habit of drinking milk before going to bed. We try to finish dinner at least before 2 hours of going to bed. She brushes her teeth at bedti,e but does sometimes skip it. It is not ped-dentist, have to check if we have one in our area. Dental clinics have also become quite commercial and hence wnated to check if it is really necessary. Can you pls suggest something for pain relief until saturday. In the meantime, i will try to see some other dentist for opinion.
Thank you

You can get Plantago 30c-you may have to order this.
Try 3 doses, A dose is 2 pills dissolved in a couple
tablespoons of water. Have her hold in her mouth
for 20 seconds before swallowing.
If there is relief or worsening after dose one or dose
2 then stop. Wait till things get worse again before
another dose.
If after 3 doses nothing goes on, then the remedy is wrong.
I hope she gets to the dentist soon as this is for
pain relief only. You could also have her drink not
more than 3 cups of chamomille tea a day- it soothes
the nerves- more than 3 cups will have the opposite effect.
