Shannon,
The tooth was a molar that had crumbled without apparant cause three years
before. One edge was gone, but the rest of the tooth seemed sound. I
neglected going to the dentist because it wasn't bothering me. I just kept
putting it off. Then last month, I was prescribed Silicea for leukorrhea.
The condition didn't improve but the toothache came on strong, sudden, and
severe. I also had pain in a wisdom tooth that is coming in at an angle
that has some decay on it. The night before I decided to go to the dentist,
I felt that the pain was so severe that I was being driven to even pull the
tooth out myself! --I've certainly never experienced that before!! The pain
in the wisdom tooth and in the jaw area below the molar continued after the
root canal for about a week or so afterward. There was also pain in a
sound upper premolar as if the tooth was too long and hurt when I bit down
on things. Then all of the sudden, the pain was just gone. By then it had
been around 40-45 days after the prescription. I wonder if it was just when
the action of the remedy subsided??
Of course, I didn't realize this is what had happened till all was said and
done. In hindsight, could the silicea have been antidoted to give relief
for the pain? If I had been able to stand the pain and wait it out, would
the tooth situation have gone back to the previous state (i.e. before the
prescription) after the action of the remedy had subsided???
What do you think?
Oh, and Chua-- guess this sounds a bit like the scenario you described as
well... hmmm....
Live and learn....
(This has definitely been a lesson that I'll never forget!)
Regards,
Lisa

I think that Sil only made apparent an existing problem, ie, body became
strong enough to produce symptoms to alert you to the problem. I had pain in
a tooth earlier this year which indicated that I needed a root canal. Most
of the nerves were already decayed and the dentist's opinion was that the
decay had started 2 years ago but there had been no pain till recently.
