What Causes a Toothache?

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

When a person complains of a toothache, it generally means they have pain in the area of the teeth or possibly the jaws. The pain, as you know, can be excruciating. A toothache can be caused by a variety of factors. Cavities in the teeth, a cracked or broken tooth, or a root that is exposed are some common causes.

Since gum disease causes the gums to recede away from the roots of the teeth, it can cause a toothache, too. Oram Plus contains essential oils that dull the pain you feel from these exposed roots.

Another pain people feel in their teeth comes from temperature changes. I have found that I can chew something hot, but I can’t when my teeth are cold. And I can’t chew anything cold at all. That makes eating salads really hard because, especially in restaurants, they are usually icy cold.

Here are a few tips for easing this pain. Try popping your salad into the microwave for twenty or thirty seconds. It takes the chill off without cooking it or making it wilt. Leave fruit out in a fruit bowl instead of leaving it in the refrigerator. It won’t hurt your teeth at room temperature. Any cold foods can be allowed to set out for a little while. My teeth have hurt when eating cottage cheese, for instance.

And of course, get a little bottle of Oram Plus, which will work to heal the gum disease as well as deadening the pain of a toothache.
