My formation is pretty perfect as well, but when I was younger I never took care of my teeth.  The first time I ever saw a dentist was when I was 18 or so, and paid for all the work myself, and now I'm to the point where I have 10 fillings or so in my mouth.  Two teeth have had root canal procedures on them, and now this filling is acting up too.

that really sucks. i should get my teethe checked out, when i was like 7 or 8 the dentist fucked me up, i never went back since.

Don Rizzle:
yea i never used to take care of my teeth, up and until about a year ago i would only brush once a day before bed i didn't see any problem with it because my dentist always told me what good teeth i had and how well i was taking care of them... but now i brush twice a day and floss every now again too because i want them to stay that way, i been told i got virtually no chance of losing my teeth as long as i keep them clean i just gotta look after my gums because once they go theres nothing you can do for them, hence why i started flossing.

Trauma-san:
^ Yes! I was so fanatical about brushing, but I was brushing the wrong way (back and forth as opposed to up and down) and my gums started receding.  Luckily that's stopped, but I think people underestimate the importance of taking care of your gums.  Your teeth can literally fall out of your mouth once you hit your 40's if you haven't taken care of your gums, even if your teeth are perfect. 

Don Seer:
i had a similar thing a little while ago.. i was on anti-biotics for about 2/3 weeks.. i had a bubble on my gum caused by escaping gack from the tooth cavity. if your tooth is totally fucked you'll need a root canal or to have the tooth pulled.

in the past when i've had toothache (usually from drinking cold coca cola when i'm the designated driver..) ibuprofen would sort me out. however last time it didnt work.

before i got the anti's the advice from my dentist was to take this cocktail

- take ibuprofen to stop the swelling
- take paracetomol to stop the pain
- use corsodyl mouthwash

UAK:
lol I thought you were a tuff guy Trauma  ;D take it like a man.
