Dealing with painful teeth? I think I know what my problem is - acid.
Two of my molars can give me fits depending on what I eat. However, if I go all day long with simple foods like my favored fruit and nuts, then, no problems.
I ate too much over easter (yeah, had too much of Dad's gluten-free dessert he made, too - ouch) and got two painful teeth out of the deal.
Then today hubby and I went to lunch (yeah, I KNOW) but one of their specials was beef LIVER and onions. Funny thing is, my teeth don't hurt anymore.
The liver sounded incredibly good so I figure it had something in it I really needed. I do feel better, actually...but I'm still digressing from your post.
