Teeth I've had toothache for about a year now, using various pills and ointments to keep it at bay... well I had new, opposite side of the mooth, toothache over the New Year, specifically Hogmanay itself. I was down in Ayrshire though, which turned out to be a benefit rather than a hinderance, so I found after I called NHS24 for advice.
I was allocated a slot next day at Crosshouse Hospital and the tooth was promptly whupped oot.

This then posed the problem of having to eat on my existing toothached side. Nothing pleasant there then.

Now in a one person dies as one is born-esque way, ashley cut her first tooth yesterday. I hope she has more luck with them than I have with mine. Her biting has already annoyed me though as her 'fang' is deathly sharp!

I can't state enough how important good dental hygeine is for your overall health. Toothache is gowping. When people say things like, "Aye there's nothin worse than insert thing here" I always reply, "toothache is worse" and it is.

I have never been good with my teeth regime. Brushing when I remember instead of twice a day. Eating all the wrong foods. Not attending the dentist. Now I'm cashing in the rewards of this life of neglect. and it hurts.

Incidentally on this subject, I found Orajel in tesco(danestone) yesterday, I used this stuff in the states and it kicks the ass of anything else for toothache. Benzocaine kicks ass!
