I have had a very bad tooth ache that was on the bottom but now seems to be on the top. it hurts more then anything i have ever experienced. I have broken my arm, and my back but this does not come close. I have tried taking 400mg IBU Profen, they last about 2 hours.. same for the Tylenol 500mg. Vicodin is great too but the pain is still there. I do not have insurance or any money. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as it has already been over 2 weeks and i cant take it anymore.

okay.... well. if it is a tooth ache, will it eventually just go away? should i look for oxy contin or ms contin to get me thru it and hope it passes soon, or should i join the military?

It sounds like you have a bad tooth infection, I understand you don't have insurance but i strongly suggest you see a Dentist, if you can't afford a Dentist and have no insurance then go to a free clinic or go to the emergency room (they can't send you away, they have to treat you and if you don't have insurance many hospitals have programs to help those that can't afford to pay for medical).
Hope this helps.

It would be possible that you have a cavity, cracked tooth, or other dental issue. However, having this on both bottom and top would lead me to believe that perhaps you are clenching your jaw very tightly together, which can make your teeth hurt very badly. You may not even realize you do it, but if you feel I may be right, try to be more aware of your bite, and keep trying to relax your jaw so you do not clench your teeth. Buying a mouth guard incase you are clenching or grinding at night would also be recommended.
If you don't have insurance, I'd strongly suggest you apply for a government sponsored insurance like medicaid.

Tooth aches are in most cases regarding a few kind of teeth/root or gum illness, and an illness anyplace within the head rationale an international of disorders, eye anguish and head aches are honestly minor when compared to a few persons's disorders. I had a teeth soreness that actually knocked me unconcious with anguish. The absessed teeth needed to be extracted, however the illness nonetheless hung round for a pair extra months. See a dentist, and a watch nostril throat expert, and deliver every of them the opposite's industry card so they are going to evaluate notes and higher come to a decision a therapy

See your dentist. For the pain, you may need something like Percocet. It was prescribed for a friend of mine after an extraction that she had and it works wonders. Ask your dentist to prescribe some

are you sure it is a toothache, or is it muscular. i had what i thought was a toothache on my molars, but the pain got so bad, i couldnt move my jaw because i was clenching my teeth at night so hard, that i was causing muscles to cramp. try a wet, warm washcloth on your cheek. that helped my situation. good luck.
