After over 20 years of practice, I am stunned at the impact that Japanese acupuncture can have on acute and chronic dental pain. Clearly, cavities and root canals need to be taken care of by dental professionals.
But what about that annoying tooth pain that persists that after a root canal?
Nerve pain is caused by inflammation. One of the key ways acupuncture works is by decreasing inflammation. It does not matter where in the body the inflammation lies. It could be in your knee, your hip or your tooth.
Case Study
Sandy came to me for a routine check up. When I asked her how she was doing she said, ” Great! No problems”. However, a few minutes later she reviled that she was suffering from tooth pain post root canal and did not know what to do about it.
“They say I am fine.”
I hear this all the time from patients after they visit the dentist. And, to be fair, in the allopathic world, you are fine. That means there is no infection and there is nothing functionally wrong with your tooth. You simply have pain, and there is no solution.
Enter Japanese acupuncture and Classic Chinese Medicine.
I have treated so many people with acute and chronic tooth pain. Don’t worry, I will not place needles in your mouth! There are many subtile and gentile treatments to decrease inflammation. Acupuncture is a powerful tool that can alleviate dental pain.
So, when your dentist tells you there is nothing that they can do for your pain, consider making an appointment!
