A war is going on in your mouth, and your teeth are losing to armies of bacateria called plaque.  They feast on the sugar in your mouth and leave behind an acid that can cause cavities, gum disease, and abscesses.

Daily brushing and flossing is the best strategy to even the odds in this war.  To finish off the enemy, send in the reserves - natural remedies to help keep your teeth strong.

Wash away decay with wasabi.  According to a recent study, chemicals in wasabi called isothiocyanates stop bacteria from sticking to your teeth.  I just recently purchased washabi mayonnaise at my local grocery store.

Enjoy a cup of tea.  Black tea or Green tea will kills some of  the bacteria in your mouth and flushes out the rest before they stick to your teeth.

Use honey rather than sugar.  Experts believe that honey releases hydrogen peroxide, a chemical that kills bacteria.  Try to buy unprocessed honey that you find at health food stores.

Shy away from germs by being careful about sharing other people's eating utensils.  Bacteria can be passed from a spoon, fork, or straw.

When it comes to toothaches, spice is nice!  The ancient Egyptians used anise to treat a toothache.  Cloves have also been used by in the past to treat a toothache.  In fact, clove oil is still considered a trusty remedy by modern day dentists.

It's important to remember that these natural remedies can't replace brushing and flossing.  However, these natural remedies can help you win the war against tooth decay and a toothache!
