Pain is a major symptom in many </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>medical conditions, and can significantly interfere with a person's quality of life and general functioning. One of the very unpleasant </em><span style="font-family: TribuneItalic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>pain is toothache.
