Natural Healing in Dentistry: How We Use Homeopathy with Ainsworth’s Remedies
At Optimal Dental Health, we believe dental care should go far beyond just treating teeth and gums, it should support the wellbeing of the whole person. As a leading holistic dental practice in London, our mission is to provide effective, biocompatible dental solutions that align with your overall health, using natural, non-toxic therapies wherever possible.
One of the key complementary approaches we use to enhance your experience and outcomes is homeopathy, a safe, time-tested method that works in harmony with the body’s own healing abilities.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that has been used worldwide for over two centuries. It involves the use of highly diluted natural substances that trigger the body’s self-healing mechanisms. These remedies are prepared through a unique process called potentisation, a combination of serial dilution and vigorous shaking, which enhances their therapeutic effect while ensuring they are non-toxic and gentle.
In a dental setting, homeopathy can be incredibly effective for:
- Managing anxiety before treatment
- Reducing pain and inflammation after procedures
- Supporting tissue healing and immune response
- Complementing conventional treatments without risk of interactions
How We Integrate Homeopathy into Holistic Dentistry
At Optimal Dental Health, we take a biological and integrative approach to dental care. This means we don’t isolate dental issues from the rest of the body, we treat oral health as a vital part of your overall wellbeing.
Homeopathy plays a central role. Our team uses carefully selected remedies to address both acute and long-standing concerns, such as:
- Easing anxiety and stress before appointments
- Managing post-operative swelling or discomfort
- Supporting wound healing and tissue repair
- Assisting with chronic infections or immune challenges
- Helping to correct deeper systemic imbalances that can show up in the mouth
By promoting calmness, resilience, and healing from within, homeopathy helps us create a more relaxed and supportive experience for our patients.
Partnering with Ainsworths: Trusted Homeopathic Remedies
To ensure the highest standards of care, we proudly partner with Ainsworths, one of the UK’s most respected homeopathic pharmacies. Based in London and trusted since 1974, Ainsworths is known for its exceptional product quality, traditional preparation methods, and a long-standing reputation, even among the Royal Family.
Dr Bach’s Emergency Spray Anti-stress Formula
One of our favourite Ainsworths products is Dr Bach’s Emergency Spray, a gentle, flower-based remedy we often recommend to nervous or anxious patients. It helps to calm the nerves quickly and naturally, making dental visits more comfortable.
We suggest using Emergency Spray:
- Upon waking and before sleep if you’re feeling stressed or anxious
- Before or during stressful events e.g., dental appointments
- During emotional upsets, such as bereavement or shock
- To support mindfulness or meditation practices
- For anxious children, or even pets!
Spotlight on Ainsworth’s Arnica Tablets
Another essential remedy we use is Ainsworth’s Arnica Tablets, particularly helpful before and after dental procedures like extractions, ceramic implant placement, or deep cleaning with our dental hygienist Brooke Shipp.
What is Arnica?
Arnica montana is a flowering plant with a long history in natural medicine. Known for its ability to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and speed up recovery from trauma, arnica is a staple in homeopathic first aid.
Ainsworths prepares Arnica tablets using traditional methods to ensure safety, purity, and effectiveness.
How Arnica Supports Dental Recovery
Arnica is ideal for helping with:
- Bruising and swelling post-surgery
- Soreness or sensitivity in surrounding tissues
- Accelerated healing after treatment
- General pain relief without the use of pharmaceuticals
Ainsworth’s Homeopathy Surgery Mix
This mix is a combination remedy designed to support the body during the recovery process following surgery. This homeopathic preparation contains a blend of remedies aimed at alleviating common post-operative symptoms such as inflammation, bruising, and pain, as well as promoting overall healing and recovery. By addressing these aspects, the Surgery Mix helps to facilitate a smoother and more comfortable recovery period.
Because the remedy is non-toxic and non-invasive, it can be taken alongside conventional treatments with no risk of interaction.
