Recently I have been having some pain (enough to cause me to stop chewing on my left side.) in the left side of my mouth, right at the last tooth before the gum and then where my jaw connects. Compairing it to the other side of my mouth, it almost feels like the gum pealed away a little bit or something. I havent been brushing my teeth regularly, just because I either keep forgetting to or just dont have time. My dad does have a history of tooth problems and has had to get some pulled, so I am hoping this isnt something genetic or anything. I want my chompers to stay right where they are!

Any help is appreciated!:)

Have you tried Orajel? That stuff is amazing. It pretty much numbs the pain and it's not that expensive and you can get it at about any store that has a medicine aisle. :P

Ok, ill go check it out. For some reason, when I brushed my teeth today, I accidently hit that spot really hard with the brush (cat clawed me, I reacted lol) and now it doesnt hurt anymore (for the time being)

You might also want to see the dentist if you haven't been there lately. It could always be a cavity.
