Indeed! Oni had to have his taken out, and I recall him being in a lot pain for that as well. It's like a double whammy: Pain from them growing, and pain for removal.

Goodness me, I'm terrified just having to read It, let alone experience It.

I've had a few severe toothaches, to the point of being at the mercy of any form of pain relief (and dosage) I could get my hands on.

That's rather frightening! For the most part, my immediate family haven't had any particular toothaches. My mother did have a big calcium issue, but no aches. It seems we got lucky.

Your family Is very fortunate not to experience any major toothaches.

A while back, I did read It's one of the worst pains and I certainly believe It.

Pain can be very relative, but I wouldn't be surprised. Especially given it's a pain in the head region. Even a bad headache can kill your energy and mood. Mouth-related pains can stop you eating/drinking. Not fun by any means!

Definitely.

When I get migraines, It disrupts my thought process and motivation levels, hence I always have pain killers on hand. I'd rather have that than a severe toothache, though.

I do the same thing. I had 2 cavities in two of my wisdom teeth that's pretty much all there was. It's been about 2 months since my last checkup.

Two months doesn't warrant another checkup- most dentists recommend every 6 to 12 months.

However with the COVID-19 situation, most dentists In my locality, are not accepting patients unless It's an emergency.

Every 6-12 months, depending on your hygiene, would be correct. In my locality, some are wearing protective suits and whatnot.

In my locality, some are wearing protective suits and whatnot.

Given their consultation Involves direct contact throughout the treatment, I believe this measure Is of paramount Importance.

Twice a year. A bit scarred everytime, but it has to be done.

I'm absolutely terrified of the dentist.

Every time I'm due for a checkup, I get anxiety just thinking about It.

I take a visit to my dentist once or twice a year - preferably twice a year. I care very much for my teeth and gums, same goes for the rest of my hygiene and health. Luckily I have had zero issues related to my teeth and gums thus far. I have, however, had my teeth whitened once.
