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.

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.

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

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.
