I've had to deal with two separate abscess teeth; the first was by far the worst. I occasionally had problems grinding my teeth at that age and at first I thought the toothache was just a result of that. However, after two days of a mild ache it went absolutely nuts. I've never experienced unrelenting pain like that; I felt like I was going out of my skull. I had to have cold water in my mouth constantly. I eventually went to the ER seeing as no dentists were open on the weekend and got some painkillers, but even though they were able to dull the pain I was still so messed up that night I remember as morning started to approach I had start convulsing uncontrollably. It was a horrendous experience. I gladly sat through two hours of root canals to get that sucker fixed up.
I remember once reading about a pharaoh who died as a result of an abscess tooth... can't even imagine how bad of a death that would have been.
