My dentist recommended combining advil and tylenol for bad pain. But you have to get an antibiotic if it's infected.

Oh yes. Not all nerves can cause the same amount of pain.

Believe it! Nerves the legs can cause more pain than in the teeth. I have had both happen. I once passed out because of the pain above my knee. Same on a back injury.

I would have agreed with you until I had the excruciating, debilitating pain due to nerve pressure in my back last year. I learned what a 10 on the 1 to 10 pain scale really feels like.

The only pain I've ever had that topped it was a broken hip but the tooth stuff was absolutely miserable. I'm sorry you're having to go through it. 😕

I don't think I've experienced much worse than that. If you're going through it, sorry to hear it.

Really makes working miserable and is a huuuge distraction, I know

A little whiskey on the gum may help.

Pain is subjective....Yes, there is absolutely greater pain than a toothache.

Ear pain. I had my right ear get infected as an adult and it finally burst the ear drum. I was in a bad way until it ruptured

Have you ever passed a kidney stone? Given birth?

If toothache is the pinnacle of pain for you I'm afraid you have been rather misinformed.

Tooth pain feels alot more psychological than other types of pain.

Not much. Anbesol before going to bed can help, until you can get in to see a dentist.

Worst for me was an earache I had as a kid.

Playing sandlot football and getting kicked in the bag was no fun either.

Any sudden severe pain you don't know the cause of. With toothache, you at least know you're not in a life threatening situation.

Neuralgia... Worst pain I've ever had...

Kidney stones

What's going on?

Yes
Gall bladder pain

It's right up there if it's bad.

I had a double compound fracture of my lower left leg when I was 12, it didn't even come close to the pain I had with my wisdom teeth or teeth infections, or my recent ruptured left ear drum that affected my teeth.
