Toothache is very common and at times quite difficult to bear. Millions of people suffer from toothache sometime or the other in their life. The major reason for toothache is the cavities in the teeth or gum disease. The sugars in the food we eat are converted to acid by the bacteria in the mouth. This destroys the enamel and dentin on the teeth. Then a cavity is formed which exposes the pulp containing nerve endings and blood vessels inside the teeth. This results in pain when you consume hot or cold food. It is necessary to take proper care of the teeth from an early age. Toothache could be due a variety of other reasons also.
