Hello everyone! After the heavy rain, here comes the signs of Summer heat! I ended up with toothache in my front teeth! Ouch! Granny me still experience that guys! I thought of having it removed though daughter said I could have the decay cleaned and let the dentist do the rest. My manicurist told me (she was cleaning my feet) that she had the same problem. Her friend told her to look for betel nut because it will help relieve the pain of her toothache.
This kind of natural treatment in using betel nuts has been used since time immemorial by our ancestors. It only means that it was handed down from generation to generation.

Once the gums swell, the tendency is that you feel dryness in your mouth causing the lips to crack that could also cause bad breath. These deficiencies can be prevented if you do quid chewing.
