Natural remedies for tooth decay

Most people suffer from tooth pain at some time or the other. Teeth decay because of bad oral hygiene and due to the food habits of people. Sugar in all its forms, carbonated drinks, and foods like pies are the main culprits for the decay of teeth.


When you consume sugar, the bacteria that is present in your mouth breaks it down and the resultant acid  cause teeth decay when they combine with the calcium that is present in tooth enamel.

The first step is to ensure that you cut down on the amount of sugar you eat in order to ensure that you do not suffer from tooth decay in the future. Clove can help prevent the pain.


You can either chew a couple of cloves a day. You can also use powdered clove to ease the pain in the affected tooth. If you have clove oil, this is an excellent way to reduce the pain. Simply use a cotton swab to dab some on to your tooth.

Garlic is another ingredient form you kitchen that can ease you pain.  Simply peel the garlic and  place this on the tooth that is causing you pain.
In addition to eating less sugar you should stop eating snacks. Instead you should eat meals that consist of raw vegetables and eat plenty of fruit.
