I noticed this about 6 months ago, it did not hurt, and since I have no health insurance, I put it off until later. I occasionally had some
toothaches, nothing bad, mild, tolerable pain. I usually took some Motrin, and it took the pain right away, the pain usually stopped the next day, and never returned for a few more weeks. Now that its November, about 6 months from when I first found out, and now I'm in excruciating pain.
