Eric, sorry to hear about your teeth problems. I can totally relate. I've had bad ones for years, and haven't been able to afford getting them fixed, and wound up getting them pulled when they got so bad I couldn't stand the pain anymore. Quite possibly one of the worst pains in the world is a toothache. I've had it so bad that I was sure I would literally die if it didn't let up, and if it hadn't of let up, I think death would have been a welcome relief! Of course having a tooth extracted that won't numb up is right up there with a toothache on the pain level!

Dentists have a very hard time numbing my teeth to extract them. I've wound up having to go to an Oral Surgeon to get them out, because that's the only way they can numb them. I wish I could afford to get the remainder of mine out and get a set of dentures.

I wouldn't wish a toothache on anyone. You folks who've never had one should be thankful every day that you haven't!
