The "worst" tooth ache I've ever had.

I would agree that it is rather hard when you have a toothache. I gues its really one of the worst pain ever.

hi letran yhes indeed a knight does not need a toothache.lol no seriously you must have that rotten thing pulled out unless the dentist thinks it can be saved,but that would probably be a very'\expensive root canal which I guarantee you is an even worse pain. No get it pulled and if your dentist does not tell you let me give you a tip. do not rinse the clot of blood out of the cavity after its pulled.If you do the toothache you will have will pale all the other toothaches as when you dislodge this clot it lets air into the cavity and that makes the nerves that were disturbed by the pulling out of the tooth hurt really horribly. I did not know this and rinsed the clot out and truthfully I thought I would die from that exquisite pain. My husbamd had to get the dentist to let us see him immediately as I was writhing with pain. He filled the empty cavity with a soothing ointment of some kind and i was not to wash it out till the next d ay w hen it would be healed enough that the air could no longer set off that horrid nerve pain. he told us the blood clot should have been left til the next day before rinsing my mouth. so I never forgot that and felt impelled to tell you about it as I did not know and the dentist forgot to tell me too. good luck hope you get rid of that pain soon now. take care.

hi LK, i can relate to your pain. i too had toothache before and when it starts aching, the whole head aches. doctor will not pull it out if you are experiencing pain because gums surely is swelling due to puss. they prescribe antibiotics. after you take your medicine, go back to the doctor even if there is no pain anymore and have it extracted. there is no other way especially if the tooth has cavities. take care. ann

Don't think twice. Have the tooth remove as soon as the doctor says it's OK to remove it. Toothaches are the worst aches if you ask me. When a tooth aches all parts of your body seems to be aching as well. I remember having to go through that pain when my wisdom tooth was giving me trouble. I usually promise myself to have it removed when i feel the pain but forget about it after taking pain relievers but taking pain reliefs is just temporary since as soon as the effect of the medicine is gone, the tooth aches again and it's just as bad as before. When i had the tooth remove, all the pain is gone. So don't hesitate, have it removed since a tooth is not worth all the trouble.

tsk..tk...tsk...It's more painful than headache cause when a tooth ache, some other parts of the head may also feel pain. Please, do take care of yourself.

Hi there Letran! I know how it feels 'cause I experience having that when I was a child and it's really painful that I cried overnight! May I suggest you take your medications on time and see your dentist at once! As of now,warm water can help soothe the pain. Next time just be more responsible in taking your medications on time ok!

Hi Letran, I hope that by the time you get this, you'll already have that tooth taken care of. If not, go to the pharmacy and ask for a bottle of clove oil. It is under 5.00 and you apply it with a q-tip to the affected tooth. It works like magic. Dentists won't tell you about this because what it does is it deadens the nerves that cause the pain. They are afraid that without that pain you won't go get the problem taken care of. You really still need to go to the dentist but this will get rid of the pain until you are able to. On the bottle, it says that it isn't to be taken orally. Don't worry about that...you aren't drinking it. Works 100% better than ora-jel.

I feel for you Letran, my husband won't say to make an appointment until I am in desperate pain. I was able to save the last two times with a root canal, and thankfully the dentist we have is really good, but it isn't something I look forward to..I still need a couple fillings and occasionally they bother me, but I have to wait again. In fact right I need to concentrate on my eyes that are giving me problems and I hope I can get in to see the eye doctor soon..

You poor thing LetranKnight! Toothaches are one of the worst pains ever! It is not a good idea to let problems with teeth go because they have a tendency to get worse instead of better. I used to not want to spend the money on dental check-ups a couple of times a year until I got an abscess and I was in agony for a really long time! Nowadays I ensure all of us go every six months to have our teeth checked and cleaned. Believe me it’s worth it! I hope you are feeling better by now...

Ohhh I do understand your situation right now. I have experienced that one a long time ago when I was still in college. It is really painful and its really uncomfortable. I would rather have a severe head ache than have a tooth ache. Because with a head ache i can still be able to sleep after I took a paraectamol but with tooth ache... even if you have taken a pain killer, it is still there and will still be painful until quite some time the meds will take effect. The modeling agency that I am a member with also advised me not to pull any tooth out becuase it will be a breach of contract because for models like us, it should be a complete set of teeth. I just resigned there after that because of that sh_tty terms and conditions. And to my relief, I let the dentist extract that aching tooth.. Wheww... I had a week long agony during that time.

hi, i think you need to go at dentist to check it. my father is always that like you, so he always do is put a little piece of garlic into his tooth. and drink a medicine a mefenamic so he could sleep without aching of his tooth.

If the tooth is decaying then you could develop an abscess quite easily, so you definitely want to get to the dentist ASAP. Im suffering an abscess now although the swelling and pain is down alot compared to how it was (imagine the chipmunks movie and i was all of them due to swelling). You may depending on the decay level be able to have a root canal done to it, that way you keep the actual tooth but it might be a bit on the expensive side depending on where you are. Goodluck hope you get it sorted out soon

Having a tooth ache is really awful. If just only one tooth aches too much, our whole body is affected. We cannot concentrate to what we are doing, cannot eat well, cannot sleep properly, etc. Whenever I am having a tooth ache, I am just taking a dose of a pain reliever. It can be very convenient during bedtime. I can sleep soundly when I get rid of the pain. I cannot just take a pain reliever every time I am doing an activity because it is not good for my health. It can result to a worse side effect.

hi LK, Me too experiencing toothache really it hurts but i can still manage i don't want to see a dentist for a reasons . I am so childish when it comes to something like this hope you will feel better now. happy posting

tooth aches are the worst! i rememberhaving one and being up all night because of the pain of it! last year, i had a tooth removed and felt aweful for days!

I have been there many times and having a toothache is the worse nightmare one could ever experience. No amount of painkillers could possible relieve the excruciating pain of a tooth that has the roots infected. Against my dentist advice I forced him to pull out the tooth that was still aching at that time. I no longer want to suffer the endless agony so need to make an emergency decision to remove the culprit that was making my days uncomfortable.

Hi. LetranKnight25. Toothaches are very painful, I must agree. It can be so painful to deal with. And, tiresome too. When you get to the dentist, you should be able to get your gum numbed too. That way, you won't feel a thing as you are getting your teeth extracted. I hope that you are feeling better now. I know how painful it is to have teeth pain. When I was pregnant I had a tooth that had chipped. The dentist told me that they can't pull it because I was pregnant. So when I had my baby, I got this teeth extracted, I was so glad and relieved. Food particles were beginning to get stuck into my teeth and it was hitting at my nerve. So you could only imagine how I was really feeling!

hello LK, Toothache,that's really painful,you can't massage your teeth unlike when you have headache or stomachache in which you can massage,but with toothache and i also hate it. You should have it extracted ,soon as the pain or swell subside (if it is swelling) Don't wait till other tooth will be affected dear brother. Relax and visit your dentist now

In all honesty I often feel that a tooth pain is far worse then actually having a baby. As at least it is over eventually but a tooth pain not taken care of puts you out of commission for too long. Try and get this taken care of as if there is an infection in their it is going to affect the gum and you do not want the other teeth affected. Take care sweetie, put some warm compresses on the outside of your cheek, and get some rest.
