My wisdom tooth is growing sideways under the gums and pushing against my other teeth. The dentist recommended surgery for removal, but I'm wondering if homeopathy can help avoid surgery since the tooth isn't even visible. Are there any homeo treatments that might work for this?

While some may explore homeopathic options, for an impacted wisdom tooth causing issues like misalignment and pressure on other teeth, surgery is generally recommended as the most effective solution. Homeopathic treatments haven't been proven to be a reliable alternative for such dental problems.
