In this  work  Babalawo Obanifa will explain  and document variety of African herbal remedies to cure Toothache, which we  popularly know as Akokoro in yoruba land . But before I explain the herbal remedies I  will shed more light on what is tooth ache, it symptoms and causes and how it can be prevented. In attempt to do this I will prefer to adopt Web med explanation on tooth ache. According to Web med, A Toothache is  a pain in or around a tooth that  may be caused by:

*.Tooth decay
*.Abscessed tooth
*.Toothfracture
*.A damagedfilling
*.Repetitive motions, such as chewing gum or grinding teeth
*.Infected gums

Symptoms of a Toothache may include:

*.Toothpain that may be sharp, throbbing, or constant. In some people, pain results only when pressure is applied to the tooth.
*.Swelling around the tooth
*.Fever orheadache
*.Foul-tasting drainage from the infected tooth

When Should I See a Dentist About a Toothache?

See your dentist as soon as possible about your toothache if:

*.You have a toothache that lasts longer than 1 or 2 days
*.Your toothache is severe
*.You have a fever, earache, or pain upon opening your mouth wide

Proper  identification and treatment of dental infections is important to prevent its spread to other parts of the face and skull and possibly even to the bloodstream.

What Happens When I Go to the Dentist for a Toothache?

To treat your toothache, your dentist will first obtain your medical history and conduct a physical  exam. He or she will ask you questions about the pain, such as when the pain started, how severe it is, where the pain is located, what makes the pain worse, and what makes it better. Your dentist will examine your mouth, teeth, gums, jaws, tongue, throat, sinuses, ears, nose, and neck.
X-raysmay be taken as well as  other tests, depending on what your dentist suspects is causing your toothache.

What Treatments Are Available for a Toothache?

Treatment for a toothache depends on the cause. If a cavity is causing the toothache, your dentist will fill the cavity or possibly extract the tooth, if necessary. A root canal might  be needed if the cause of the toothache is determined to be an infection of the tooth's nerve. Bacteria that have worked their way into the inner aspects of the tooth cause such an infection.
An antibiotic may be prescribed if there is fever or swelling of the jaw. Occasionally, phototherapy with a cold laser, usually in conjunction with another treatment, may be used to reduce the pain and inflammation associated  with the toothache.

How Can Toothaches Be Prevented?

Since most toothaches are the result of tooth  decay, following good oral hygiene practices can prevent toothaches. Good oral hygiene practices consist of brushing  regularly with a fluoride-containing toothpaste   , flossing once daily, rinsing once or twice a day with an antiseptic mouthwash, and seeing your dentist twice a year for professional  cleaning. In addition to these practices, eat foods low in sugar and ask your dentist about sealants and fluoride applications.
Now after we have considered scientific orthodox meanings and causes of Toothache, we will go straight to different Africa herbal remedies available to cure Toothache.
