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

By Cohen S. Tsukamoto


A toothache is normally caused by accumulated wear and tear on your teeth over long periods of time, with the exception of those caused by some kind of blunt force trauma.

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 many different processes that can influence a toothache:

Your teeth may be super sensitive. Sensitivity may just creep up on you until you're suddenly more sensitive to the things you weren't before.

Sometimes teeth become very sensitive to any hot or cold temperatures, such as very cold air, and this is called hypersensitivity.

This sensitivity is caused by the erosion of the enamel layer that normally protects your teeth. This erosion occurs naturally as we chew food. Every time we take a bit of food, chewing causes a bevel action to occur, slowly grinding away the minerals on our teeth that we need for strong teeth. 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. The tooth's nerve becomes more exposed as the protective layer of enamel disappears over time, and it will begin to react strongly to the hot and cold temperatures.

Natural toothache remedies are the best. One natural cure involves putting garlic cloves directly on a tooth that is hurting. 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.

For a long term solution, what you should really be aiming for is to repair the 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.

With a diet full of calcium rich foods, our teeth can re-mineralize by themselves, however given our frequent consumption of sugary and highly refined foods, this process is made much more difficult.

To prevent this decay from happening in the future, you need to work at strengthening and rebuilding your teeth.
