i have had toothache now for 2 years, i have seen 3 different dentists, it first of all started on my left lower, i had unsuccessful root treatment, then had to have the tooth removed, i was still in pain, my current dentist has opened up ALL the teeth on the lower left and filled them (another root treatment on one of them) still no joy. ive been referred to the ENT clinic, who confirmed it was nothing to do with throat or ears, he then referred me to the dental hospital and facial clinic, but i need to wait 26 weeks on an appointment.he then filled a tooth that was decayed recently on the lower right, and now this side of my face is in agony!!! :( i have had 10+ courses of anti-biotics, i just dont know what to do!

If you feel it is from your teeth try brushing and flossing your teeth using peroxide and water. one part peroxide and 2 parts water. rinse with this after you brush and floos . if its your teeth the pain will go away. for a quick remedy, try salt rubbed where it hurts and hot water to sooth the pain. It works.
Hope you get out of pain or find the root of the matter.

Toothaches are painful but can be prevented
by take suitable precautions. Avoid eating
food which will result in the formation of acid
in the mouth, brush teeth regularly with a fluoride
toothpaste. I found the information at

I had that problem but it was obvious what it was from. I had a few broken teeth. I had one pulled because I thought it was the one causing the pain but it wasn't. I did not have any infection so antibiotics were not needed. The pain persisted until I had different teeth pulled. It took 6 extractions of broken/decayed teeth for me to finally be out of pain (I couldn't afford root canals at the time) They explained that sometimes you can't tell where the pain is coming from and a tooth on the bottom may be the problem but you may feel the pain in a top tooth instead (nerves are weird, I guess).
In your case, it sounds TERRIBLE. When I was in pain and they couldn't figure out which tooth it was, some regular doctor suggested that I may have a form of facial neuralgia since the pain ran up and down the entire side of my face to the back of my head, in my ear and down my neck into my shoulder. I kept insisting it was from a tooth but he said it sounded 'impossible' (stupid doctor). I ended up at the emergency room because I had a constant migraine for 2 months and I couldn't sleep anymore and wanted to kill myself. I was given a CAT scan and everything because they actually thought I had a swelling on my brain or tumor. But, it was just my damn teeth!!! I took every painkiller on the market and the only one that killed most of the pain was Oxycontin which I had to get illegally! I basically had to 'get high' to get rid of my headache. Bottles of Vicodin, codeine, Darvocet, Tramadol, etc. did NOTHING. I actually thought the Tramadol was a bottle of placebos. Eventually, after they pulled out enough of my teeth, I was out of pain. My point is, that in your case, you may actually have a form of facial neuralgia so seeing a doctor about that may be a good idea. It is known as the 'suicide disease' for a reason.
I really feel for you and I have NO advice on how to kill the pain since the only thing I could do was turn to Oxycontin. I was actually considering heroin or trying to get my hands on morphine because it was so bad. No doctor in their right mind would give me a prescription to stuff that 'hard' since no one believed me that it could hurt that badly. The people at the emergency room gave me one Percocet and I was still in tears and wanted to kill them. All I could do was rock myself back and forth all night long and cry.
Good luck.

You poor thing, it sounds like a gum disease to do with the bone have you had x rays of the gum and jaw bone, also very bad arthritis in your jaw can cause searing pain which can make you think is comming from teeth. taking glucosamine can help. damaged nerves in teeth can cause this type of pain, any decayed teeth might need to be completely removed to stop this. Good luck.
