Having a toothache is a very painful experience for anyone

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.

This wear and tear is occurring on a daily basis, as the bacteria living in your mouth de-mineralize your teeth as they excrete acids from the food they share with you.

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:

You may have very sensitive teeth. This sensitivity can emerge over time, with one day you noticing sensitivity that you didn't used to have.

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.

This sensitivity is caused by the erosion of the enamel layer that normally protects your teeth. This erosion occurs naturally as we chew 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. 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. 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 will help kill bacteria that is causing infection as well as having natural anesthetic abilities that will reduce pain in the afflicted area.

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

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.
