Obviously the question is, why do teeth ache and why, of all times, at 2AM? I’ll bet it is the middle of the night and you’re madly looking for something to take the edge off the pain and a stock standard aspirin isn’t quite doing it for you.

This is cold comfort but your toothache was a gradual process that built up and it wasn’t until the time that infection finally hit the pulp tissue and the nerve that the pain signal was finally transmitted to your brain. This didn’t happen overnight. It took weeks, months or even years for the tooth to become bombarded by bacteria that finally led to the toothache you are now having. If you are suffering from a toothache it is usually because you have an infection of some kind which came from poor gum health.

According to FDA Consumer Magazine, the major cause of tooth loss in U.S adults aged 35 and over is below par gum health (periodontal disease), It is estimated that a massive 75% of this group have some form of gum disease and that 60% know nothing about correct dental care with 39% not going to the dentist on a regular basis.

Why does our society accept teeth loss as an inevitable part of life when it doesn’t have to be. There are remote tribes across the planet that don’t have access to high sugar, refined foods or modern dental treatment yet they still enjoy life with all of their teeth intact and in perfect health. We were meant to have all of our teeth to last us a lifetime yet we except tooth loss as a normal part of life. We should have our teeth long after our 40′s and 50′s and we can do this through proper dental hygiene and education.

Here are some preventative techniques that will allow you to keep your teeth for longer and a surefire way on how to get rid of a toothache:

Chew sugar free gum immediately following your “last” meal for the day. Don’t chew sugar free gum after every meal as this may cause flatulence and explosive diarrhea in reaction to the artificial sweetener, Sorbitol. Having just one piece of gum for the day allows you to produce enough saliva to reduce the tooth eroding bacteria population already feeding off the last meal you just ate.

Get more Vitamin D in your body, this helps to strengthen and fortify your bones. You can get Vitamin D naturally from a good dose of sunlight for 30 minutes or from food such as egg yolks, milk, cheese and yoghurts. Now that you have some tips that will help to keep your teeth in tip top shape and in perfect working order, here is a great toothache cure to take care of the pain right now:

This should give you some relief in the next 10 to 20 minutes. Hopefully you probably have this in your kitchen.

Place a piece of onion big enough to cover the affected tooth. Leave on the tooth for 30 minutes to help kill bacteria and give pain relief. If the tooth allows for it, cut off a bite sized piece of onion and chew it for 2 to 3 minutes. This will release the antiseptic qualities of the onion and help the pain to subside.
