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'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:
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.
Sometimes teeth become very sensitive to any hot or cold temperatures, such as very cold air, and this is called hypersensitivity.
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. 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. 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.
If you have a toothache the best cure is natural. One of the best natural toothache cures involves placing a garlic clove directly on the tooth causing pain. 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. Yes teeth can repair themselves because they are living entities with blood flow. 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.
If you really want to prevent future tooth decay, rebuilding and strengthening your teeth is the key.
