We are lucky that dentistry has evolved over the centuries.  When we have a tooth problem we can go to the dentist and receive treatment that really works.  That wasn’t the case in earlier times.

It was commonly believed that toothaches were caused by a tooth worm and there were many unusual remedies and cures.  Here are a few you may not want to try:

• Place tobacco in your armpit
• Kill a mouse and hold it on the aching tooth
• Lick a toad’s belly
• Catch a frog under a full moon and spit in its mouth
• Take a tooth from a corpse and wear it around your neck
• Boil earthworms in oil and pour into the ear on the side of the toothache.

If you would prefer more technologically advanced dental care and a preventive approach, give us a call.
