How to Know If Your Tooth Pain Is an Emergency 

Whos watching this with a toothache? 🙋😭 praying for you to feel well again 🙏

There is not a better feeling than when you can sense that the pain is dissipating and it all feels normal again..

Me: I don't like dentists Me after toothache: just take it off idgaf 😭

Who’s watching this while crying 😭

This the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. I can’t take it

Watching this at 2 am because I can’t sleep from the pain

Tooth ache is the worst pain I’ve ever felt, I feel like punching everything..

who is watching with deadly tooth pain 😔😩🥶

My tooth ache has a heart beat

I had tooth pain that literally kept me up 3 days straight. Went to the dentist and got it pulled and I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!!!

I CANT SLEEP DAMN IT😭😭😭😭😭😭

It’s absolutely disgusting that dentistry is still not integrated with the rest of the medical fields! The worst part of it is that it all stems from greed. Your oral health has a major impact on your overall physical health and your phycological health. Unfortunately the field of dentistry has become all about money an vanity!

Just had my tooth pulled. After giving birth 4 times and going through a painful miscarriage, i can say hands down that tooth pain is the worst pain I've ever felt

My teeth hurt so much that im at the point that im ready to hit my head on the wall to stop the pain-

For all the people saying they’re in pain, listen to me closely: go to the dentist as soon as you can. It will only get worse and cause excruciating pain that can make a grown man cry. Don’t let it get to the point where your tooth is decaying and breaks at the gum line then you have to get it SURGICALLY removed!! I went through months of hell, trying to ignore my cavities & hoping they would “magically” get better I guess. Get your teeth fixed/filled ASAP and just take care of them after that. No reason to sit in pain everyday!!!

This comment section makes my day 🤧💀 get well soon guys! 💞

It sucks that people have to suffer until they become an emergency and can't prevent tooth extraction.

When one tooth hurts and it triggers your whole damn mouth!!! MY FACE IS ON FIRE

That feeling when your tooth is killing you but you can’t afford to get it treated / fixed. Oof

Me: I'm gonna sleep well tonight My tooth: tonight is gonna be fun hehe

The pain goes away for a second and comes back , literally it comes back when I wanna go to sleep , especially when anything enters my mouth it hits me harrrrrrd , it’s the second day now , I’m callin the dentist tommrow

i just wanna pull my damn teeth out rn😭

I have discovered that dentists no longer do emergency care. Even though my pain was off the charts I could not get an appointment with any dentist. I am currently on (expired) antibiotics that I had from a previous procedure. Something is extremely wrong with dentistry and health care in general.

My tooth is aching so bad that I now have a headache that hurts just as bad as my toothache. FML! I WANT FAKE TEETH NOW!

Who hurts with me...

Toothaches are the most painful thing you’ll ever feel, I’ve had one for 4 days and it was so bad that I could barley sleep until it was pulled.

I’ve never felt so comfortable and miserable looking at the comment section in my life.

I just wanna appreciate how very nicely and well detailed he has explained everything. He made it very simple and easily understandable! Kudos!

My tooth looking at me watching this vid👀👀👀😭😭😭

Anyone with tooth pain I feel you we’ve all been there and if your scared to go to the dentist just do it if you have to fix something the pain of living with it untreated is 1000x more painful then the dentist could ever be . 🙏❤️🤓

Emergency tips for tooth pain. 1. Use lukewarm salt water rinse and swish atleast 5 or 6 times on the affected tooth . Repeat two or three times in a day.. 2. Take a pain killer like keterol DT and see your dentist ASAP. 3. Best tip to stay away from all teeth problems is always swish your mouth vigorously whenever you eat or drink anything with plain lukewarm water

We are all in this together

I've been in excruciating pain for 11months now. Went to the dentist, told me I need surgery to have my upper right very back tooth removed. The oral surgery = $4,000.00+ for one tooth. Couldn't afford it. Made an appointment w another dentist office, explained in detail everything &they said they could extract it. Just be 5wks bc of covud before they could get me in. So waited the 5wks in the worst pain of my life. Get to my apt finally&told right away that they don't do extractions for very back top....so here I am 11months later. On my 5th round of antibiotics (yes ik antibiotics are bad to take too often. I never take antibiotics usually &fear now it's become antibiotic resistant)on my 5th time of taking antibiotics &still excruciating) I can't afford to have surgery &now since this - I had a tooth chip! Never has that happened before. 4th back from the front, same side. & then also now my other side, bottom are hurting & top other side teeth are hurting. My lymphnodes are so swollen, the pain is in my ear, feels like someone is pushing a screwdriver in my ear&won't stop.,my lower jaw on both sides & inside my ear towards my face. I can't live like this anymore. Why can't I find a dentist who will just pull it/extract it for me?? I cry almost everyday. About every 5days, I'll finally get about 3-5days sometimes without pain or at least not too much pain. &then it's right back to excruciating. It's terrifying. Idk how I've lived like this for so long. I've had 2children& this pain is worse than labor. My whole life has deteriorated. I always feel so extremely guilty for not spending enough time w my kids&them having to hear "I'm in so much pain rn I'm sorry"& them seeing me cry, I try to go to the bathroom so no one can see me crying but sometimes I can't help it. They're missing out on their summer bc of me being in this debilitating pain. I can't do this anymore. ** oh& also before all of this started I had never even had a toothache in my life. Fun fact - my mother NEVER took me to a dentist , ever. I went to my 1st appointment when I was 27 to get 1 wisdom tooth removed. Now I'm 32&went for the appt I mentioned. I've always had nice straight, white teeth. I'm so depressed & desperate. I need help. I'm sorry as I'm sure this sounds like just complaining but I'm at my absolute breaking point.

The pains intense, very sobering

hold up whenever my teeth hurts, my jaw and ear hurts aswell, THIS IS AN INFECTION

It happened to me before on the top left side of my mouth. I had a Root Canal Treatment that caused to much. 2 months later (now) I'm Experiencing it Again on the Right side of my Mouth. But now it's not just the top Teeth, it's also the Bottom teeth 😭. It hurts too much, there's also a Bulging Nerve on the side of my head. Both my head, teeth, & wallet hurts 😭😭. I can't sleep

Sitting here at midnight listening to this video and reading comments as I deal with two impacted wisdom teeth that are pressing my other teeth together towards the middle. Hurts like a son of a b... I feel it pressing on a nerve and of course it's gotta be the weekend. Putting in a call when I wake up because this hurts. I'm 23 and my wisdom teeth started growing on the bottom at 18. Haven't seen the other 2.. Hopefully I can just get all of them removed at once 🤧 to anyone else suffering with tooth pain, I hear you. I feel for you. Get it taken care of by a professional dentist and don't wait on it! Much love ❤

I deal with pain everyday of my life but this pain is agonising. All along the jaw, gums and teeth especially left side 😩

I've experienced terrible wounds and nothing compares to toothaches oh my god

If your in discomfort it's an emergency. People are pulling their own teeth because dentists are literally saying "call when it's so bad you can't breathe"

I had a tooth ache that turned into a tooth infection. Couldn't take the pain anymore so I finally went to the dentist. The dentist showed me my x ray and I could see the infection going to my brain. Scary stuff

Normal Me: I’ll brush my teeth sometimes and eat many chocolate 😋 During toothache: I’ll take care of my teeth now for sure! 😭 After it gets fixed: I’ll brush my teeth sometimes and eat many chocolate 😋

Toothache makes literally any other pain feel like paradise

This is the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. Impacted wisdom teeth. It’s like a sharp striking stab in my neck, head & shoulders. Took antibiotics and I don’t even know what help that was. Thank god I get them removed in the morning. I hope I get through tonight without going to er. I am crying and drinking pineapple juice hand in hand.

The pain is so horrible at times right now so I’m looking up tooth pain vids to feel some kinda comfort I guess idk uughhhh going to dentist tomorrow

It’s 2am been waking up from the pain of a toothache that comes and goes. The pain is definitely unbearable. I’ve going outside getting fresh. It helps keep my mind distracted from the pain. But man I really can’t wait till this pain is gone forever

I think I’m tricking my self to think that my tooth doesn’t hurt I might have gone crazy

I've been dealing with crippling depression for about 10 years ever since i witnessed 2 of my bestfriends get murdered and a 3rd one put in critical condition. I have not been kind to my body or teeth and now it's biting me in the ass 🤦‍♂️ i wish i could reset and take better care of myself.

My goodness, the intense pain I get in my jaw is so overwhelming I can barely think. How does tiny amounts of nerve in *ONE* tooth cause so much agonizing pain????? Like how?!

i had a toothache last November and all I can remember is the worst pain of my life , crying every minute of the day for a week

Had an appointment Tuesday for my front tooth. Its is in necrosis pulp under my crown and was extremely painful! I was up for two days. Luckily they got me in early yesterday and im in bliss TODAY! SO MUCH BETTER. Hope you all get better soon as well! It sucks having tooth pain. Its the worst imo

I am having so much pain in my tooth that I can't even sleep my 8 hours a night. And yes it be nice if I could not have a toothache

I had 2 abscessed teeth removed a week ago, I believe I had them in my mouth for about a year and a half, they were in a really bad state, It was poisoning me slowly, the infection causes your body to attack and be in a stalemate, your body can't heal because your body is attacking , it can't attack and heal at the same time, Also I do believe the infection spreaded to other areas such as the neck and ear, my lower neck was swollen because the lymph nodes were swollen and full of white blood cells to attack the infection, I also believe I could have a small case of sepsis, the infection could have went into the bloodstream causing a major body reaction leaving your body organs to not function properly, I get confused often, feel weak and dizzy and look pale. This was all caused by my lack of dental hygiene, not brushing enough, for some reason my mental state declined and I refused to brush my teeth, one day at work my toothache became so painful I had to go to the dentist, my body could not handle it much more, Conclusion if you have a toothache or dental abscess, just go to the dentist, and stick to it. It could save your body from damage and worst of all septic shock.

My sister is a dental assistant. I showed her pictures I took of my tooth and she said the gum pulled through a crack in my tooth and caused an abscess that has spread to 2 different teeth. I'm in SO much pain.

Your painting in the background is so lovely.

Reading the comments for some reason has helped my tooth calm down cause I'm feeling exactly what everybody else is feeling on this post I think my gum is swollen honestly and I definitely need a root canal due to the filling I've had as a kid !!! pray for me

3/4 days now the right side of my mouth hurts

Tootache is more painful than labor because at least it sort came in painful waves but this pain is constant and ALARMING. I went to urgent care today because my appointment is not until next week. coincidentally, i found out my insurance has expired. so now instead of getting a root canal im just going to get my tooth pulled. after like multiple problems with my teeth, im at the point where i brush my teeth 2x times/a day, floss AND mouthwash plus im never eating candy ever again. this pain scarred me good, im never neglecting them ever again. im only 23 so if i dont follow this long-term im probably goin to lose all my teeth

A nation full of experts, and we have to do THIS. Dark times.

My toothache started like a week ago, had a large filling done couples of years ago, and I can feel a small crack with my tongue. Also, already went to the dentist and they couldn’t do much about it because they had no clue. I might have an infection (on the bottom left back side teeth) because I can feel it throbbing like it has it’s own pulse and when I wake up i can feel it. when I try to clench or grind my teeth gently it hurts, it hurts so much that it causes my ear and jaw to be in pain leading to headaches. Even when I eat from the opposite side I can still feel it, which I can barely chew or swallow. I don’t know what to do

A while back I would breathe or just talk and ever drink water and I got the feeling that you would get when you bite into ice cream or drink a cold drink. And I didn’t go in for it for a long time. That sensitive got worse and I had tog eat a root canal. I’ve also gotten all four wisdom teeth take out. Now I’m having this small pressure feeling in one of the wisdom tooth spots. Idk what it is. I got them out about two years ago. It feels if I have a piece of meat or food in the area but I’ve checked and brushed and flossed. And earlier I got this painful head ache that lasted just three seconds. It was on the same side of my discomfort and at the hairline kind of by my ear to my chin.

Who's watching this while there's a heart beat in your tooth?

He didn’t mention anything about tooth damage, decay or open nerve. I wish he help us out with that. 🤕🦷

I recently had tooth pain. I had been calling dentists. Well, no response. It got to the point that I had to use oregel. Keep in mind I have a very high pain tolerance and a history of not knowing something was an emergency. Well, I’m allergic to oregel it turns out. I had to go to the ER. Good thing, too. I had a fever, even after the epinephrine shot. I had a major infection. Still do.

I bit into something hard and my front tooth became extremely sensitive to pressure. I can’t even close my mouth or talk in fear of teeth touching the bottom and triggering pain/sensitivity. I have a filling there. Idk what it could be, hope I don’t need a root canal.

Just went through the craziest pain for 2 weeks before I could get it sorted. Agony doesn't do it justice. I get now why for 1000s of years our teeth killed us

The night of Thanksgiving I had a toothache I didn't want to say any thing because it was Thanksgiving. The aching was clearly worse at night . It felt electrical. It was the lower left jaw area but I felt pain in the upper left jaw area . Made a dentist appointment for last Tuesday. I had a broken lower left wisdom tooth that is infected . I did not know I had broken the tooth . Tomorrow I see the oral surgeon and I am on antibiotics . To be honest I don't feel well . I feel slightly sick. Nauseated ect . I am a nurse and I had no idea you could feel this way because of a wisdom tooth . Your video taught me something new .

Watching these vid at my 3rd day with toothache, I tried to use first treatment like warm salted water, well didn't work, tried to use pain killers but only gave me a couple of minutes of relief. Now I'm experiencing toothache with headache and I'm going crazy. When my tooth beats my head hurts. I'm watching this vid in agony.

I developed a tooth absess due to a broken molar which I tried to ingore due to fear of covid. 2 weeks ago the pain got so bad I was in tears, i was unable to sleep and Cocodamol, ibuprofen and benzocaine gel did nothing to the pain. I suffer from migraines and have broken my leg and collar bone before and I have to say this pain was on another level. My face swelled, I had a pocket of puss on my gum below the tooth and I even considered sterilising a sewing needle in an attempt to pop it for some relief. So I ended up phoning an emergency dentist and they were able to fit me in at 5am. The dentist tooth an x-ray and it turned out I had a tooth abscess, broken molar, exposed nerve and an infected jawbone (explains the severe pain) anyway we both agreed the tooth had to go, he had to cut away infected gum, flush it out and I had to take pain medication and antibiotics for a week. It has put the fear into me to up my oral hygiene and I consider it lesson learned. Simply put, don't ignore your pain and get help because it will get to the point your pain will be greater than your fear in the dentist and you will ultimately end up in the chair one way or another. Ps the dentist was amazing and I felt no pain during the procedure.

Thank you for your tips really appreciate it 💕

thanks for all the good info... you are awesome sir

I have a bad cavity on my bottom left tooth next to wisdom tooth. I know I’m in for a treat when out of nowhere I’ll feel a sharp throb for a second, then 30 seconds later it starts again. The aftermath of these throbs are intense non stop pain that differs from the initial sharp throbs. It’s so painful that it shoots down my jaw shoots into my ear. I went to the doctor and he said it’s not an infection but it’s the nerve. It’s a 10/10 pain with the intensive ache but i am somewhat glad that it’s not the first sharp throbs that occur that are constant. If the throbs and the reallly sharp start to my toothache were the constant I’d probably rip it out myself, that nerve throb is no joke.

my front teeth are hurting spread to my gums and now it feels like my chin is swelling, ive called 5 dentists and either theyre on holiday or theyre filled for at least a month wtf am i supposed to do...

Yesterday when i bited down i felt nothing, no pain. But when i woke up today, i bited down and it hurt, I dont know whats going on

I’m here crying and having a tooth ache and I’m in paaaaiiiinnnn!!!!!!!🥺😢😭

I felt a bit of pain so after months of fighting my fear and hoping it would just magically go away, I went to the dentist. The night I came hope from the dentist my teeth was in unimaginable pain, I didn’t sleep at all because the pain is blinding. It’s my third day since going to the dentist and it’s still so painful. Even after taking pain meds, rinsing with saltwater, and using numb pigment for my teeth, it’s still a numbing pain. Idk what to do anymore, I’m getting fillings in two weeks but I’m not sure I can make it that long the pain is horrid D: I called the dentist and said I have to wait a few days and see if the pain goes away. Anyone know why it would still hurt? It’s a big cavity, and hurts when touching it.

I have this seemingly interminable tingling/tickling sensation which is slowly starting to get painful. There is no relief; it affects me in the day and keeps me up at night. It feels like a block of ice is constantly pressing up against the bottom row of teeth, but only two teeth feel like they're affected. Edit: I think I'll have to see the dentist. I was hoping it would clear up, but it's getting more intense.

Im getting intense pain after having a deepish filling done a few days ago. The weird thing is that the majority of the pain only comes at night.

Mostly I can just ignore the pain, but this time suddenly my chest gets really tightened to the point that I can't breath properly. Like I got a sudden asthma.

I wish God didn't make this things a possibility

Painkiller aren’t even working

When I put my mouthguard in and bite down, my far back molar really hurts. No other teeth are painful.

Thank you so much this was a lot of help

I've been using 2 tubes (.42 oz. each) of 20% benzocaine for the last 7 days on two teeth that need to be pulled. At one point the relief would last less than 2 minutes making sleep impossible. It that an emergency or should I wait until I can no longer walk to seek help?

Looks like both fillings have come out and now there's some decay causing pain... Been 3 days, going to call dentists today. Thanks a lot for this :)

My gums around my tooth is beyond swollen and I can't sleep I'm in extreme pain. It's hard to even get to a dentist with Covid. I need help and I'm suffering like crazy.

I have a badly chipped tooth the pain makes my side of the face feel swollen and it hurts so bad I haven't got dentist or got it filled should I go do it, it has been like this for a month and I'm in so much pain I dribble

Thank you so much for your advice..🙏

“You might be wasting the ERs time and your own.” They have drugs. I need drugs. People really underestimate how severely painful toothaches can be. We will go ANYWHERE and to ANYONE who can stop that pain. I don’t care whose time is wasted. My last toothache was so agonizing (it was affecting my trigeminal nerve) I wanted to take my own life. THAT is an emergency.

The pain is so intense I cannot describe it

I’m having the worst toothache and my appointment is in 4 weeks. I had a whole it my teeth which reached my nerves filled the hole up but it still hurts really bad, I’ve tried everything from Clove oil to pills. I can’t sleep, eat or focus in school because of the pain. My dentist is on holiday right now but I seriously can’t last 4 weeks with this pain. Any advice?

Red Cross toothache oil works. It has Eugenol oil in it. Vanilla extract also has that ingredient. I’ve heard cinnamon helps. Hydrogen peroxide too but rinse your mouth afterwards. Garlic powder helps too.

The pain is overwhelmingly exhilarating

My top tooth have been hurting although I’ve been brushing daily

I have(had) super duper good teeth and they are super sensitive. I believe I have a tic(tick?) Where I clench my jaw/teeth a lot. This video helped me figure out my issues with my teeth. Thank you.

Idk if i should be concerned with my tooth or not. Just had root canal done( on my molar) on the 3rd of may On Monday and I've been getting pain on and off. I have noticed that the tooth that had root cannal is a little bit high is this what could be causing pain or is it an infection? I would really love to know.

Ive never experienced this kind of toothpain before, its like when you bite icecream, but consistent, not just temperary for a few minuts, like my teeth are freezing, and it is just not one teeth, its every single one in my lower mouth. Im going insane! :( It started a few weeks ago, and during the day it is mostly very little pain or none, but when i start to get tired, the pain comes, and it just keep going for hours! Goddamn toothpain!

Mine feels like a sharp throbbing and then like a dull pain down to the root 😫😫 Tylenol as soon as you feel it kick!!!!

I found one remedy that helped a severe toothache and that was to get some very strong Navy Rum like Woods and swish it around the gums, that works temporarily. After that you'd might as well drink it, might put you in a better mood.

The gum at the very back of my mouth started hurting and it’s kinda swollen. When I suck on it it taste like blood but I tried to put a piece paper towel on it and it didn’t absorb any blood. Is it my wisdom tooth coming out or something else?
