A toothache is one of the most painful things anyone can experience

June 19, 2012 robot Family

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.

It often isn’t until you feel a sudden tooth pain or a very painful throbbing in your tooth that you become aware of the results of this process.

Here are some of the many different factors that can contribute to tooth aches:

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.

When your teeth show extreme sensitivity to hot or cold situations, such as cold drafts or even moisture in the air, they are considered hypersensitive.

When the protective enamel layer is eroded away, this sensitivity can occur. This is something that occurs as we eat our food. Think of our chewing action like a bevel, each time we grind, we take off some of the minerals we need to keep the teeth strong. The pulp of our teeth is slowly exposed through this natural filing processes caused when we are chewing. Because the layer of enamel begins to thin there is less protection of the pulp, dentine and the nerve and because this layer thins, the more the nerve of the tooth feels the external elements of hot and cold, the more it reacts.

Natural toothache remedies are the best. One natural cure involves putting garlic cloves directly on a tooth that is hurting. Garlic has healing and anesthetic properties which will not only kill the bacteria causing the infection but provide some much needed relief to the pained area.

For a long term solution, what you should really be aiming for is to repair the tooth. Yes teeth can repair themselves because they are living entities with blood flow. 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.
