Probably one of the most painful experiences an individual can have is a toothache.


Except in cases where you experience some kind of blunt force trauma, tooth aches are normally the result of years of slow erosion to your teeth.

You are normally completely unaware of the process going on in your mouth where billions of bacteria thrive and excrete acids that slowly de-mineralize teeth over time.

You usually remain completely unaware of this process until you suddenly experience a sharp pain or dull throbbing of a tooth.

There are factors at play when it comes to toothache:

You could suffer from tooth sensitivity. Sensitivity may just creep up on you until you're suddenly more sensitive to the things you weren't before.

Hypersensitivity is where your teeth are extremely reactive to hot and cold, in fact just cold drafts can set your teeth into a tail spin, even excess moisture can make them react.

This sensitivity is caused by the erosion of the enamel layer that normally protects your teeth. This happens over time as we chew our food. Chewing is similar to a bevel, as each time we chew we grind our teeth and remove some of the protective mineral coating. Over time, our teeth are slowly filed down through the natural process of eating, and as more enamel is lost, the closer this gets to the pulp of the tooth. As the enamel thins, the pulp, nerve and dentine is less protected, and the tooth's nerve becomes much more sensitive to hot and cold elements, and causing you to experience pain.

Natural toothache remedies are the best. One of the best natural toothache cures involves placing a garlic clove directly on the tooth causing pain. The natural anesthetic and healing properties of garlic will help kill any bacteria that is causing an infection to occur as well as relieve pain.

Eventually, however, you need to repair the offending tooth. Since teeth are actually living and have blood flowing through them, they are capable of self-repair. Although this would have occurred naturally for our ancestors, our modern diet and lifestyle often hinders this process.

If given time and with the right diet of calcium containing dairy foods, teeth should re-mineralize all on their own but it's because of the highly refined sugary foods that continue to wear down the enamel they are never given a chance to do this effectively.

You need to rebuild and make your teeth stronger to prevent future decay from occurring.
