How To Reduce Your Tooth Ache Immediately When You Have Sweet Tooth?

Generally, toothaches are caused by tooth or jaw problems, such as a dental cavity, a cracked tooth, an exposed tooth root, gum disease, disease of the jaw joint (temporo- mandibular joint), or spasms of the muscles used for chewing. For people with sweet tooth, most of the time, the tooth ache is due to dental cavity.

What cause dental cavity?  If you do not rinse your mouth or brush your teeth after having your dessert or soda pop, bacteria thrive in your mouth as a results of the food particles. These microscopic agents form a substance called plaque -- an invisible film made up of saliva, food particles, and bacteria -- that clings to the surface of your teeth. Acids produced by these bacteria can actually eat through tooth enamel -- the hard, white coating on the outside of your teeth -- and create holes (cavities, or in dentist-speak, "dental caries"). The decay can then spread inward to invade the tooth's pulp, which contains its nerves and blood supply.

So when you have a tooth ache, first you need to clean your mouth. I understand this is probably the last thing you will want to do if you have a serious toothache, but cleaning your mouth is important. Try swishing with warm water first and then if possible use a toothbrush or floss to help remove any food particles from around the tooth. Food pieces may add extra acids that continue to irritate the tooth. After cleaning, you can rinse your mouth with mouth wash; this kills your oral bacteria and prevents your tooth further damaged by the bacteria.

One of the effective tooth remedies is having some pain killers. You can go to the nearest drug store and consult the pharmacist for some over-the-counter medicines that suit you.  Usually, your tooth ache stops within 15 –30 minutes.
