Have you ever had a toothache?

I had my last toothache last month when I was on my holiday at my hometown. It was actually a sign of a great toothache if I did not take any action of it. After 3 days of keeping the initial pain I decided to pull off my tooth. As always, I am afraid of the dentist and still thinking whether want to see them or not. At last I decided to visit a dentist and the doctor agree to pull my tooth. She gave me 3 anesthesia injections,..the first 2 is still 'ok' with me as she put some thing like a syrup with a strawberry flavor on my gum...but the third injection was from the inner side of my gum and I can feel the pain of the injection...but not much. After a few minutes they called me in back and the doctor did some test on my tooth whether the anesthesia is enough for me or not. when she tried to pull the tooth, she called her husband which is another doctor in that clinic too to hold my head as the tooth are very hard and difficult to pull. But that time, I did not feel any pain as the anesthesia is enough for my me. A feel happy as the bad tooth has been pull off, now no more pain....

yes,i did have toothache some times.how to deal with it?

oh yes... i had a toothache in the past as well and it feels really terrible... i had to go to the dentist at last and have a root canal treatment... it costs me heaps of money as well... it is terrible...

my teeth are not in the best condition as we dont have any insurance nor a lot of money to spend on the dentist (we do send our kids however!) i remember though, when i was younger, i had the worst toothache, so bad that i couldnt sleep, plus i had an infection in my tooth as well! nasty stuff!

hi. i had plenty of them. The sound of the word makes me cringe. i can recalled countless nights when i have had the tooth. I would go to sleep, and it would wake up. Its seems that everything doesnt exist, but the pain U are feeling.

I have had several bad toothaches however I have never had an experience quite like yours. I just hope that the dentist doesnt have that type of problem often.

Yes i have had tooth aches during my teens as i did not took much care of my teeth and they developed cavities. I wont go to the dentist as i was scared but then finally as pain increased i had to go. He cleaned up the cavity and did a hole by drilling and then finally filled up the hole. I know the kind of pain i had to bear and more importantly the fear of being drilled. I have been taking ample care since then so that i wont need to move to a dentist.

yes, i have had it quite some time. I have had one of the tooth even filled with fillings without the crown and ever since I get toothache every now and then and I have some pain killer and avoid it.

No i dont have toothache because i never used bad things and i always frehup my mouth after every food ihave taken.

Ive had some toothache in my life and they are not fun. I usually put ambosel a numbing gel. I use it till I can get to a dentist. I really hate going the dentist. I hope your tooth is feeling alot better now.

I had a very bad toothache few months back. Its after my near fatal road accident. i lost some part of a tooth and it used to give me tremendous pain. It kept me awake in most of the nights. Atlast root canal treatment was done and crown treatment is done.

I went through years of having tooth aches and then I had all my teeth pulled because of an accident I was in and it's been awesome! Never to have a toothache again is so fantastic I can't even tell you!

i have the toothache when i was a child.when i was young,i often had a bad toothache when i was eating something.it was so terriblely.and i often cried. at last i pulled the bad tooth. now i never have the toothace.^^

Ooh toothaches suck!~~! some of the worst pain u could endure im sure... i had some..not veary pleasent

i was at the dentist much when i was little..my mother took me,to fix a tooth and i also wore denthal-bracelet....but since then,i did have many painfull tooth-ackes and i was too scared to go to a dentist..till one night when i couldnt even breathe from so much pain...not to mention sleep,i couldnt even sit still,i was crying and about to call the emergency..no pill in the world could make me feel better.. i made it till the next day,when i went to the dentist,i had an infection and he treated my tooth for about 2 or 3 weeks and then he covered it with some matherial,like a fake tooth,and now it feels soooo good not to have any pains when we r in big pains we realise that all we need is health...it feels great to be healthy,we should cherish this every day

I guess a lot of people have experienced having a toothache at one point in their lives and that includes me. If my memory serves me right, the last time I had my tooth pulled out was about ten years ago. I had put it off for so long because I was then in the middle of my review sessions for the CPA board exam. This review classes last for approximately six months. But due to the excruciating pain I felt, I finally gave in to having it pulled out. I must admit, I'm afraid to visit a dentist for tooth extraction. If it was only for tooth cleaning, I was okay with that. When the lady dentist finally inserted one of her dental instruments in my mouth, I couldn't help but give out a cry. But my fear proved to be superficial after she was done with my tooth. I was even surprised that I only felt a tolerable pain; that I asked her, "Is it over?" That she replied with a nod. After this incident, my fear of dentists decreased, if not totally vanished. Now, whenever I feel a toothache; I only take aspirins or pain relievers. It's not because I'm still afraid of dentists, but partially because of lack of funds, and the pain is still tolerable.
