Hi Dr. Chetan,
Thanks for some very helpful information about tooth pain. Can temperature sensitivity result even if your tooth isn’t worn down but you just had a new filling placed? The sensitivity is a little improved but at times it can be very intense. Sometimes it is even sore to chew on it. Thanks.

Dental pain includes pain felt in or around the teeth, gums and jaw. The pain can range from a mild, dull ache to severe and excruciating pain. The pain may come and go or be persistent. It may be aggravated by chewing or by exposure to extreme temperatures (cold or heat).

Dental pain can be caused by a wide variety of conditions and diseases. Most instances of dental pain are caused by tooth decay and gum disease. Food debris stuck between the teeth and gums also can cause pain. Jaw pain may be caused by TMJ disorder. Dental pain may also be caused by cracked teeth, teeth grinding, dry socket and an abnormal bite. Dental pain is sometimes caused by nondental conditions or diseases, including heart disease, migraines, and sinus or ear infections.

Anacardic acids in cashew plants are extremely lethal to gram positive bacteria, which are the bacteria that cause acne, leprosy, tuberculosis, and the usual bacteria in tooth abscesses. AYou may see a discussion of this below, and a more extended discussion for tooth abscess in http://charles_w.tripod.com/tooth.html .
Sincerely, Charles Weber

Anacardic Acids to Cure Gram Positive Infections
It has been found that anacardic acids with a 15 carbon unsaturated side chain found in the cashew plant is very lethal to gram positive bacteria. The side chain with three unsaturated bonds was the most active against Streptococcus mutans, the tooth decay bacterium, in test tube experiments. The number of unsaturated bonds were not material against Propionibacterium acnes, the acne bacterium [Kubo I, Muroi H, & Himejima M. 1993 Structure - Antibacterial activity relationships of anacardic acids. Journal of Agricultural food Chemicals 41; 1016-1019, on p1018.]. Eichbaum claims that one part to 200,000 to as high as 2,000,000 parts of solution of anacardic acid is lethal to gram positive bacteria in 15 minutes in vitro. Somewhat higher ratios killed tubercle bacteria of tuberculosis in 30 minutes [Eichbaum FW 1946 Biological properties of anacardic acid (O- pentadeca dienylsalicylic acid) and related compounds. General discussion-bactericidal action. Memorias do Instituto Butanen 19 71-86.]. Anacardic acids have been successfully made use of for curing tooth abscess infections [Weber C.E, 2005 Eliminate infection (abscess) in teeth with cashew nuts. Medical Hypotheses 51; 289-292.]. I suggest that it would be a very good idea to test anacardic acids against tuberculosis, leprosy, and acne since they are gram positive bacteria.
