Toothache is one of the oldest pains known to humans. Even
the first cavemen suffered from it, but they had no dentists to help them so
they instead relied on natural remedies. These remedies are efficient and
easily made, and that’s the reason why people aren’t giving them up yet.

afraid of going to the dentist because we fear the invasive method. Sadly, you
must go to the dentist, but at least you can relieve the toothache until you
make an appointment.
