I'll have to go with the same as Luke here. I had a root canal done and it was left "packed" pending completion on the next visit. This was over the Easter weekend and we (my first wife, kids and I) were going up to her mother's house for the holiday (a three hour drive).
Well....Easter Sunday I woke up with unbelievable pain and my upper lip was so swollen I couldn't breathe through my nose because it was blocked by the lip!
Breathing through my mouth produced excruciating pain due to air flowing over the affected tooth. (It was one of my front teeth)
Happy fuckin' Easter AND the following day (took till Tuesday to get ahold of "Dr Sadistico DDS" and get him to see me).
Both broken arms and my broken leg (3 separate incidents) were nowhere near the pain of that tooth.
