Do not self-medicate, and consult a qualified homeopathic doctor (and your physician for serious or persistent conditions) before taking any remedy.

The Plantago Major picture and modalities
Plantago Major is classically a remedy of the sensitive tooth. Its keynotes are toothache with extreme sensitivity of the teeth, pain that seems to travel between a tooth and the ear, and tenderness worse from touch and cold air, often with salivation. It also has a traditional association with bed-wetting. A homeopath weighs this sensitive-tooth, tooth-and-ear pattern within the whole picture, on the understanding that dental care addresses the underlying tooth.
Before you consider Plantago Major
This is background information, not advice to self-treat. A toothache almost always needs a dentist to find and treat the cause, and earache, especially in children, should be medically assessed. In homeopathy the right remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual by a qualified practitioner. Homeopathy should complement, not replace, dental and medical care.
