Quick Home Remedies

for a Toothache

oothaches vary in their intensity and frequency. At their
worst, they can make it hard for us to concentrate upon
Tanything other than the throbbing pain.
A toothache can be caused by a variety of oral disturbances.
The most frequent culprits are dental cavities, which occur when
bacterial-formed acids eat through tooth enamel and leave the
softer tissue inside – and its nerve endings – exposed. Pain can
also be caused by dental caries (soft decayed areas within a
tooth), pulpitis (inflammation of tooth pulp) and periodontitis
(a disease that attacks the gum and bone around a tooth). The
underlying cause of an ache will determine which home remedies
will be most effective in combating the pain.
