Cloves are the most effective and old-fashioned way of soothing a toothache. Dentists recommend eugenol (clove extract), which is available in any pharmacy. Soak a cotton ball in eugenol and place it directly on the tooth for several minutes and the pain should subside until you get to the dentist.

Fluoride & Tooth Decay
Teeth loose minerals daily as acids plaque and bacteria strip away minerals from them. This demineralization causes tooth decay. Fluoride replaces these lost minerals and protects the teeth from decay. Fluoridated water provides safe levels of fluoride that can mineralize the teeth, making them strong and healthy.

Know your toothpaste?
Toothpastes contain abrasives and detergents that reduce plaque and surface stains. Some toothpastes have ingredients to help strengthen enamel and reduce gingivitis, tartar, sensitivity and bad breath. Natural toothpastes have fewer chemicals and do not contain added chemicals or flavors. Teeth sensitivity can be controlled by using a paste that contains desensitizing agents which help stop sensations (like extreme heat or cold) from reaching the tooth’s nerves.
Teeth Whitening Techniques
For whitening the teeth, one can try a commercial whitening kit at home. A whitening toothpaste can help, but results are not as long lasting as bleaching. However, the most effective way to whiten teeth is by going to a dentist and setting up a professional whitening appointment.
Help, Doctor, my tooth is moving. Do they shift as we get older?
Teeth move throughout life. Even after the adult teeth have come in, they continue to move forward. If there is space between certain teeth or you have lost a tooth, the adjacent teeth may shift towards the empty space. If a lower tooth is lost, the opposite tooth in the upper jaw can move downwards into the gap. These movements can change the way your teeth meet and can cause undue stress and pressure. Sometimes you can get jaw pain as a result.
How does one treat this?
This can be fixed by restoring the contact relationship between teeth with a fixed or removable appliance. An artificial tooth will sometimes be needed to close a gap left by a moving tooth.
Reconstruction is done in a way as to evenly distribute the loads on all the teeth so as to match the position of your original teeth.
