Homeopathy in Dentistry: Is There a Role?

Abstract

Dear Editor, Dental health care professionals are facing challenges in managing acute or chronic dental conditions due to failure in regression of symptoms or side effects of traditional treatment regimens. Complementary therapies are now becoming the rule rather than the exception in the management of headache and facial pain. It is incumbent on physicians to be aware of and to have a working knowledge of these increasingly popular modalities. A number of unconventional medical methods are being used in dentistry. These include regulation thermography, homeopathy, nosode therapy, acupuncture, magnetic field therapy, ozone therapy, Mora therapy, and lymph drainage.[1]
