Ways to describe the pain

At times it's like there's a string from my tooth tied to the front of the brain, yanking out a chunk of it until it hurts

At times it's a spike grinding back and forth and sideways into the gums

At times there's a razor blade slicing forward from the back of the mouth to the front, slicing back and forth

At times the gremlin goes schizophrenic and just start slicing everywhere or stabbing everywhere in whatever direction and orientation it pleases

At times there's a knife thrusting into the gums in a single deep jab

At times it's an explosion of pain from the epicenter

At times it's a hammer pounding outward rhythmically

At times it's a razor that scrapes up and down the length of the cheek

At times it's a wall of pain clamping down from the left and right
