...fk me I have been in pain.
woke up 5am this morning with some serious tooth pain, looked in the mirror and my face was proper swollen around where the pain was coming from. it really hurt, immediately took ibupes and paracetamol and tried to relax, 1 hr later I felt a little better but still hurting..
I had to ring 111 because I didn't know pain like it.. had to see an emergency dentist.. I have a broken tooth and a bad infection, 2 lots of tablets to sort the infection and got to ring my dentist on monday..
I didn't know tooth pain could be so bad, never really suffered with it before... owie.

Vacuum cleaner, sellotape and straw. Done it a thousand times extracting food from the root stumps of my molars.
Seriously and they reckon Ginger are more susceptible to pain.
Describe more of your diagnosis. So the tooth didn't have a filling in it and was perfectly healthy and you didn't relaise you'd broken it or what?
I'm an expert on tooth pain, unfortunately. Had major cases of it over the years, and reckon I should be getting frequent flier status from my local dental hospital.
Fook all I can do about either, seems that I have a congenital gum type that means I'll lose 'em all eventually and it's a case of fighting fires until then. It'd probably be easier to have the ones remaining all removed and go with dentures, but I'm not prepared to go that way yet. Food doesn't taste the same with my "teeth" in so I'll keep going as long as I can with the ones I have left.
Sorry man. That is a real shitter. Still, you can get some dentures on the NHS quite cheap or implants of you are stashed.
Hell dentures are more hygienic anyway! You get to take them out to clean them more thoroughly!
I suppose the upside is that I'll no longer have a mouth like a Meth-head! Not entirely convinced that my current grid is exactly enticing to the ladies!
Who cares, you can buy fakes on a plate for cheap too. Course it was cheaper before the Czech Republic joined the EU, but there we go, we have Romanian dentists. Give and take. Besides you only take your teeth out in the morning.
Nothing says I have failed in life more than having no teeth and no hair. Hair doesn't matter though and teeth you can buy.
C'est le vie innit.
@Jezwynd and @littlegreenman win the hard man teeth problems people awards.
Fairplay.
