You can get rid of your toothache pain with the aid of household ingredients so you don’t have to go foraging at the pharmacy in the middle of the night for the right medication for you. In fact, you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home because most of these ingredients are probably available at your fingertips as we speak and are just an arm length away.

So why do our teeth ache?

Why now of all times?, it’s probably the middle of the night and you’re furiously looking for a cure to take the edge off the pain and aspirin isn’t quite cutting it for you.


Believe it or not, toothache was an eventual process that built up gradually and it wasn’t until such time that infection finally hit the pulp tissue and the nerve that the pain signal was finally transmitted to the brain.

This didn’t happen overnight. It took weeks, months or even years for the tooth to become ravaged by bacteria that finally contributed to the toothache you are now experiencing.

Those suffering from a toothache usually have an infection of some kind which came from poor gum health.

According to the FDA Consumer Magazine, the leading cause of tooth loss in American adults over the age of 35 is poor gum health (periodontal disease), incredibly it is estimated that a whopping 75% of this group have some type of gum disease and that 60% knew nothing about proper dental care with 39% not attending the dentist regularly.


It’s no wonder why our society so readily accept tooth loss as an inevitable part of life when it doesn’t have to be. There are remote tribes across the globe 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:

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 yogurts.

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 right here and now:

This should give you some relief in the next 10 to 20 minutes.

Chances are 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.
