lol, it took me a cavity and an ugly filling to learn that. :P Thankfully it is in the very back of my mouth. I now brush my teeth twice a day at least, and three if I have the chance. (except when I travel :P)
There is some good advice for everyone. Your teeth are worth the effort to take care of. If you do not, you will regret it later on. I got so many smashed and chipped doing things I should not have, and had to have them built up with plaster (which is not a cheap thing to have done BTW), and I have a filling in my mouth now. :P

Problem is I can't afford any dentist work so I've been living on paracetamol for the last week or so

Generally the health system over here isn't too bad but there are cracks and quite a lot of people fall through, I am one of those who earns too much to get free health care but doesn't earn enough to actually pay for it myself.

Oh well, paracetamol is only 80c a packet

A bad tooth is a pretty permanently painful thing, isn't just going to go away, quite the contrary it will only get worse, and once it's bad sedations won't work so you won't get any, enjoy your root channel treatment.
