The following information explains how homeopathy is used in the provision of dental health care. Homeopathy uses the principle that like, cures like. That is to say, treating an illness with a substance that causes those same symptoms in a healthy person.
Conventional medicine takes the view that symptoms are a direct manifestation of the illness.
Homeopathic medicine sees the symptoms as the body s attempt to overcome the illness and seek to stimulate this reaction, not suppress it. Homeopathic medicines are prepared from naturally occurring substances and act by stimulating the body s own natural forces of recovery. People suffering from the same disease do not necessarily require the same homeopathic medicine. This is because the symptom picture of the disease is partly made up of the individual s own personality and temperament and this is taken into account when selecting the right medicine. In normal and correct usage the answer is no.
