Having a toothache is a very painful experience for anyone

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.

It's not until you get that characteristic jolt of pain to the offending tooth or the slow torturous throbbing pain that never seems to subside.

There are factors at play when it comes to toothache:

You could suffer from tooth sensitivity. This sensitivity can emerge over time, with one day you noticing sensitivity that you didn't used to have.

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

Sensitivity comes from the erosion of the tooth's protective enamel layer. This erosion occurs naturally as we chew food. Chewing is similar to a bevel, as each time we chew we grind our teeth and remove some of the protective mineral coating. The more we file down our teeth naturally through the action of eating , the more enamel we lose until it gets down close to the pulp. 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. Garlic will help kill bacteria that is causing infection as well as having natural anesthetic abilities that will reduce pain in the afflicted area.

However, over the long term, the tooth needs to be repaired. As they are living entities with blood in them, a tooth is able to repair itself. That's what teeth are supposed to do naturally but it's because of our poor diet and lifestyle that teeth are unable to do this as effectively as our ancestors would have.

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.

If you really want to prevent future tooth decay, rebuilding and strengthening your teeth is the key.
