This is one thing I do not know how to get rid of. It has been haunting me for a lifetime. My parents had it, now I have it and my children are going through it - tooth decay and toothaches! I have tried everything and followed all the instructions gave in order that my children will not be suffering from this. But sadly though, my kids still have this problem now. My eldest had some tooth extracted already, about 4 so far. My second child had some tooth extracted also, about the same number, 4. Now, my youngest decides that 4 of his teeth will have to be extracted, too. Worst is my case, out of the eight I have left, two are due for extraction. I am wearing false teeth and I am trying to hang on to the remaining ones. I really envy those ones who's still got a full set of teeth and never experienced any tooth aching though they are already in their 50's.

OK, you have a toothache? Well, decay CAN cause serious problems. Besides chronic pain, if there is a severe infection, you can get a facial swelling that can stop you from swallowing or breathing. Get it sorted out. Don't wait for it to become a serious infection. Are you asking about removing the tooth? Like an extraction? Definitely one way of removing a toothache! Go see a dentist, buddy. Sounds like you need one!
