lyme-literate dentist -- or one uses homeopathic treatments for infected teeth?

Hi everyone,
I have just joined the forum and have been very sick with lyme/bartonella since March, 2012. I am on a very aggressive course of antibiotics, also taking piles of supplements, etc. As you all know, this is tough - not for the faint of heart!

From what I have read, everyone here seems very welcoming and encouraging. Thank you and thank you for understanding what a tough road this is!

I have had dental/gum issues since this started and now I am very worried that the infection is in my molars. There is something really weird going on! I am grateful to have an excellent lyme doctor, but he did not know of a dentist in New York (where I live) who specializes in lyme. My search led me to this site.

I saw from an exchange back in July of 2009 on this forum that some members had offered names of lyme-literate dentists, some who treat lyme infected teeth with a homeopathic approach. This sounds promising. (one was in CA and somebody also said there are one or two in NY?)

I would be really grateful if anybody remembers that or knows of these names and could somehow share them with me.
I would be happy to send my email address.

Since I am new to this, if there is a better to way to make this request, please let me know!

thanks!
Trish

I may be too late, but would be really grateful for the names of the dentists mentioned (one in CA and two in NY?) who have a homoeopathic approach to lyme-infected teeth. Since I am now, I am not sure how to proceed with asking, so please tell me if there is a better way?

Many, many thanks!

Hi Trish...my lyme symptoms began in August 2010.  One of my symptoms (the one that devastated me the most) was that my teeth hurt.  I would wake up in the night with pain in my teeth.  I have never had a cavity, so that is why this was so devastating to me.  I researched and found the dentist in California who treats lyme in teeth.  I live in the midwest.  I had to fly to California twice in two weeks time for treatment.  He first made a mold of my teeth.  Then sent me home with a homeopathic remedy that did not work.  I went back two weeks later and he sent me home with a different homeopathic remedy.  It worked immediately.  95% of the pain was gone and still is.  This dentist was kind and gentle.  A great man.  However, since that time he suffered multiple strokes.  His office is still open...not sure if he trained other dentists on this procedure.  Several things I do if I feel ANYTHING in my teeth...I rub thieves oil on my gums and teeth and that really helps.  Also, you can use a baking soda/himalyan salt mixture...you dip your toothbrush in peroxide and then in the soda/salt mixture and brush.  This is recommended by a dentist (I found the article on the internet).  It really, really helps.

Hi there,

Just joined this to respond to your question since I just read an article called
"Lyme disease often resides in the mouth" in the link below that might be useful to you and others: http://www.arizonaadvancedmedicine.com/articles/lyme_PHA.html.

It seems people are really careful here what they post, but have not managed to find the guidelines yet, so please remove post if this would be better.

Thanks!
