My teeth hurt.
This Toothache is killing me!
What can I do? I have this one tooth in the back that really hurts. I am too scare to go to the dentist. I have not been to a dentist in over seven years. I take very good care of my teeth by brushing and flossing daily. This is the first time one of my teeth have bother me. Is there something I can take that will make my toothache go away? I do not want to go to the dentist because they will want to pull it or something and I know that will hurt me.

Man you just need to go to the dentist. You may think you took good care of your teeth but if you did you would not be having this toothache now.
You can also get gum disease from not taking care of your teeth and gums. By not going to a dentist in seven years you was not be able to stop a small issue from becoming a larger one.
The only way your tooth now is going to get better is by a dentist fixing it. Pain killers only kill the pain not fix the problem.

I have to agree with the last reply. You are just going to have to go to the dentist. Seven years is way to long of a time not to have seen a dentist.
You could have more issues going on then just the one toothache that you are unaware of. I know it is hard to do something you are afraid of but it does not mean that you should not do it when it is a matter of your own oral health care.

Can I just point out one thing? Is it not kind of silly you pointing out the fact that you do not want to go to the dentist because you know they are going to hurt you.
When after all you stated by do nothing like you have been for the last seven year you now have a toothache that is killing you.
I guess you would have to think which pain is worse. A dentist may cause you to have some pain though they do always try not to. Were as a bad tooth will only get worse it left untreated and therefore will only cause you to have more unnecessary pain. Think about it.

You may want to search this blog web site for older post on how to deal with your dental fears. There have been some very good past post about this topic. You may find it very helpful to you.
Because in the end I do not see that you have any other choice but to go to the dentist if you want to stop the pain you are now having.
