The most common cause of a toothache
is a dental cavity also known as tooth decay or tooth caries.
Dental decay is when bacteria in your mouth break down the tooth
enamel. Holes (cavities) in the tooth build up, exposing the
nerves underneath.
If left untreated, the pulp
inside your tooth will die and become infected. This will lead
to an abscess forming, causing a harsh and continuous throbbing
pain. Eating or drinking something that is very hot or cold may
also give you toothache because it touches the nerves in the
pulp.

1) Asafetida is ground into
a paste in lemon juice. This is then slightly warmed. A cotton
pad is dabbed in the solution and applied on the tooth cavity.
This is a very quick method to relieve the ache and is also good
Home Remedy for Toothache.
2) A very simple Home Remedy
for toothache is to mix some pepper powder with common salt and
rub this mixture onto the teeth. Doing this daily will also prevent
any toothache troubles as well as dental cavities.
