Dear Dr. Sharma,
Is it possible for a tooth with some resorption at the root (x-ray showing a dark spot at side of root) to be saved instead of a root canal or extraction? Also, about 2 weeks ago my son had an swelling or bump in the roof of his mouth, near the tooth with the resorption: he was given a week’s supply of amoxicillin which cleared up the bump (almost the level of that area), the swelling of the gum area over 3 teeth, and slight pain on the tooth. He has also been taking some homeopathic tissue salts and R 1 which have helped as well.
What homeopathic remedies could he use to strengthen his teeth and gums, slight mobility of that tooth?
Thank you

Hello, I am wondering if I take these salts the Kalium6x to clear my Eustachian tube of mucous. A doctor gave me these and said to use 2-3x a day, but for how long should I use them before I see results. At first she said only three days to a week. I mostly did it two times a day, but only for 5 days, as all the remedies she gave me were very strong. So since I did not see results of my ear being unclogged I stopped. But I want to try the salts again. My ear has been clogged for six weeks, but I do not feel dizzy anymore like I did in the beginning. If you could help me I would be so happy. Thank you! Jacqueline
