Unless through blunt force trauma to the teeth, a toothache is an accumulation of wear and tear and erosion of the teeth over time.
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 many different processes that can influence a toothache:
Your teeth may be super sensitive. Tooth sensitivity is something that can suddenly appear, and one day you may notice your teeth are more sensitive to things than they were the day 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 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 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. 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.
One of the best ways to cure a toothache is through natural means. 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.
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.
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.
You need to rebuild and make your teeth stronger to prevent future decay from occurring.
