First of all: yours nourishment is causing this. The human body is a wonderful machine, which works very well if properly used. To moderate your discomfort use toothpaste with milk of magnesia and avoid acidic foods (like tomatoes) and eat a little of everything. Always brush your teeth after meals, to prevent fermentation of food in the mouth.
