Abscess tooth/dental surgery before?

[Fosgate]

I was hospitalized with kidney stones for two weeks trying to pass stones. I think the pain in comparison to dental is a toss up. Only way to be sure is to have them both simultaneously. I once was into eating a lot of beef jerky and chewing gum as healthier snack alternatives. It all ended once when something popped in my jaw and I began having pain radiate from my gums starting at my front center incisors, along my upper and lower jawline, my ear, eye, side of my skull to the top of my skull. That went on for about 5 hours as I picked up tooth pain ointment and kept applying that constantly as a headache appeared. Finally I just got exhausted and fell asleep with my head propped against the glass of a friends car while he was driving us back home. I woke about 15 minutes later, moved my jaw slightly and it popped back into place and all the pain quickly went away.

Funny thing is I thought of this when I was a kid.
