Has anyone felt the severest of tooth aches? Well i must say it is awful. Buddies, make sure you have no cavities and if happen to have one fill it immediately. I used to have a cavity but i neglected it and for days i have been suffering this torture. Now that it is being treated it helps... Does anyone have similar experiences?

Sometimes during the day a toothache can be calmed with aspirin, but at night no matter what you take it continues to be painful.

OMG! That is absolutely the worst there is. I've been suffering for years with dental problems. We can't afford insurance, or the dental fees. If there is one message I could pass on to parents it would be to teach your children proper oral hygiene, and be strict about it. And to the children I would say, Take care of your teeth, as they are the gateway to your life. I wish I could strat all over again.

Yes, I've had tooth problems before. I had one abscess due to an impacted wisdom tooth. Worst pain ever (aside from childbirth)!
I've had to have a few root canals because of cavities I didn't know I had that got to the point where they affected the nerves. That was when I didn't go to the dentist for years because I simply couldn't afford it. I learned that spending the money to have your teeth cleaned and checked, at least once a year, is one heck of a lot cheaper than needing a root canal and crown!
We have our teeth all of our lives (well, most of us do, anyway) and we need to take care of them. Children, especially, need to start a habit of good oral hygiene so that it will carry over into their adult lives.
