I also wear a helmet! But I wear it all the time. It's made of tinfoil. If you don't touch it, as you might be shocked, you can stick it in my available gaping outlet anytime.

But seriously, it makes me sad that 1) I posted this, and of all the things 2) it gets more attention than more important stuff.

I share your pain.

I don't think you do.

For years now I've had problems with my right back teeth. When I was 18 I had my wisdom teeth taken out. They gave me 3 and said the other one broke - yet they didn't give me the pieces. I think they didn't get the 4th one out. Fuckers.

For over a month now it's been getting worse. Now I can barely think straight. My mood is good otherwise making this an even worse waste. I'd rather be depressed and in pain so that when I'm in a good mood I can be productive.

I don't think eating all these pills are good for me. But the pain shoots down my jaw to the tips of my front teeth, on the right, up into my ear, down my neck from my tonsils to below my Adam's apple, and on occasion even over my shoulder to my triceps.

And I'm already out of money this month. I'm ready to go crazy. I might even go to a hospital.

Yo...! That is the worst.

Tooth aches are a non-functional injury that takes you out.

Non-functional in the sense that if you slip a disk in your neck/back, or have an abdominal injury then you're immobilized.
Brain injuries also fall in this category, except they're worse.

You can physically walk around with a severe toothache, but your brain is disabled by the heavy weight of the swelling, and intermittently lanced with agony by the slightest movement.

If you were in the US I'd suggest staying home, cause healthcare cost billions.

I doubt many orthodontist are scheduling appointments, though.
