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.
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 happens over time as we chew 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.
If you have a toothache the best cure is natural. 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.
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. Our ancestors experienced this process naturally, but modern lifestyles and diet make it difficult for our teeth to do this as effectively as they once did.
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.
To prevent this decay from happening in the future, you need to work at strengthening and rebuilding your teeth.
