Impacted Wisdom Tooth refers to the failure of the third molar (usually the lower one) to fully erupt into the dental arch within its normal developmental period, typically between 17–25 years of age. This occurs when space in the jaw is insufficient, or when the tooth’s angulation prevents eruption. The impaction may be vertical, mesioangular, horizontal, or distoangular, depending on the tooth’s direction.
Common symptoms include pain, swelling, trismus (restricted mouth opening), bad breath, gum inflammation, pericoronitis, neuralgic pain radiating to ear or throat, and jaw stiffness. Complications can include infection, abscess formation, cysts, or resorption of adjacent roots.
Conventional management involves analgesics, antibiotics, or surgical extraction, but in homoeopathy, carefully chosen remedies relieve inflammation, neuralgic pain, and promote healing both before and after extraction, often preventing complications.

In homoeopathy, impacted wisdom tooth is considered both a local inflammatory and neuralgic condition, often worsened by exposure to cold, damp weather, or infection. Remedies are prescribed on the basis of pain character (shooting, tearing, throbbing), associated symptoms (swelling, suppuration, nerve pain), and patient’s temperament. Homoeopathic medicines help by reducing gum inflammation, alleviating nerve pain, controlling infection, and aiding eruption or post-extraction recovery.
When used constitutionally, homoeopathy can also reduce the tendency toward recurrent abscesses and dental neuralgia, providing a gentle yet effective alternative or supplement to surgical management.

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Impacted Wisdom Tooth

Throbbing Pain and Swelling of Gums – Belladonna

For sudden, violent, throbbing pain in the jaw with red, hot, swollen gums. Pain radiates to the face or ear. The patient is sensitive to touch and jarring, and symptoms appear suddenly with heat and redness.

Suppurating Gum with Severe Pain – Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum

Indicated when the gum around the wisdom tooth becomes tender, swollen, and suppurating, with pain shooting into ear or throat. The person is extremely sensitive to cold air or touch and feels better from warmth.

Pain with Hard Swelling of Jaw – Mercurius Solubilis

For swollen, tender gums, salivation, offensive breath, and metallic taste. Pain is throbbing at night with worse from warmth of bed and profuse saliva.

Sore, Ulcerated Gums and Offensive Breath – Kreosotum

For spongy, bleeding gums with putrid odor and painful teeth. Pain extends to ears, with offensive discharge. Suited to advanced dental caries or abscess with infection.

Sharp, Neuralgic Toothache Extending to Ears – Chamomilla

Excellent for extreme irritability and oversensitivity to pain. Toothache worsens at night, from warmth, and after coffee, better from cold applications. Pain radiates to ear and cheek.

Swelling with Difficulty Opening Mouth – Silicea

For chronic abscess around an impacted tooth, slow suppuration, and difficulty in mouth opening. Useful when pus formation persists or eruption is incomplete.

Stitching Pain and Red, Inflamed Gums – Ferrum Phosphoricum

For early inflammatory stage with throbbing pain, heat, and redness of gums, but no pus yet formed. Reduces pain and congestion.

Pain After Extraction or Injury – Arnica Montana

For soreness, bruised feeling, and swelling after dental work or extraction. Prevents infection, aids healing, and reduces bleeding.

Sharp, Stabbing Pain with Cold Sensitivity – Coffea Cruda

For intolerable tooth pain made worse by hot drinks and better from cold water. The patient is restless and sleepless from overexcited nerves.

Severe Throbbing with Swollen Cheek – Pulsatilla Nigricans

For toothache from suppressed eruption with pulsating, wandering pain, worse from warmth, better from cold and open air. Often suits mild, tearful, yielding temperaments.

Intense Neuralgic Pain Radiating to Head – Magnesia Phosphorica

For spasmodic, shooting pains that improve from warmth and pressure. Excellent for nerve pain due to compression from impacted tooth.

Toothache Worse from Cold Water – Nux Vomica

For irritable, overworked individuals with congested gums, throbbing pain, and tight jaw muscles. Pain is worse from cold air and mental strain, better from warm compresses.

Burning, Ulcerated Gums with Foetid Breath – Arsenicum Album

For burning, ulcerative gum inflammation, restlessness, and exhaustion. The mouth feels dry and hot; pain worsens after midnight and from cold drinks.

Swelling with Hardness and Tenderness of Cheek – Bryonia Alba

For swollen jaw, pain aggravated by movement or talking, and better from rest and pressure. Gums feel hot, dry, and painful on chewing.

Toothache Alternating with Earache – Plantago Major

An excellent nerve remedy for toothache extending to ear or face, with shooting, tearing pain. Often helpful when pain is neuralgic or radiating.

Slow Healing After Dental Surgery – Calendula Officinalis

Promotes rapid wound healing, prevents infection and suppuration, and reduces inflammation after extraction or incision.

Ulcerated Gums and Offensive Pus – Myristica Sebifera

Known as the “homeopathic antibiotic”, it helps drain abscesses and prevent pus accumulation around impacted teeth. Great for preventing surgical infection.

Tearing Pain with Swollen Face – Colocynthis

For cramping, tearing pain in jaw, worse from cold air and anger, better from warmth and pressure. Relieves neuralgic element of dental pain.

Suppuration with Bone Pain – Silicea + Hepar Sulph Combination

Used alternately for chronic abscess and slow eruption, where pus is deep-seated and bone feels sore and painful. Helps resolve infection without surgical drainage.

Pain from Eruption Pressure – Calcarea Fluorica

For hard, bony swelling and difficulty in eruption, with aching and pressure in the jaw. Promotes tooth eruption and reduces hardness of gum tissue.

Impacted Wisdom Tooth often causes acute local pain and infection but may also lead to chronic neuralgia or abscess formation if neglected. Homoeopathy offers effective, non-invasive management, reducing inflammation, promoting safe eruption, and aiding post-extraction recovery naturally. Remedies like Belladonna, Hepar Sulphuris, Mercurius Solubilis, Chamomilla, and Silicea play key roles in pain control, abscess prevention, and tissue repair. When guided constitutionally, homoeopathy not only provides symptomatic relief but also enhances healing and immunity, reducing the recurrence of dental inflammation and infection.
