My teeth hurt!
My teeth hurt A LOT. Not like, a cavity type hurt, but more like pain/soreness. It helps when I take advil, but what is wrong with me and my teeth???
And please don't just tell me to go to the dentist.

How often do you brush? Are you doing it the proper way that dentists have shown you? That really factors in. It's highly possible that you have gum recession (they do indeed sag) or disease as those two things are the leading culprits. They'll definitely cause that kind of soreness.
It's likely recession. It's common in adults over 40 and teens who seldom brush or do it incorrectly. It's pretty nasty as it means the tissue around your teeth has died or gone completely away. What happens is that this exposes the roots of your teeth and causes all kinds of abrasions and soreness.
Book an appointment with your dentist and explain to the receptionist what's happening and what you think it may be (gum recession). For now switch your toothpaste as you'll have to do it anyway to Sensodine.
That will cut down the amount of soreness. But yes, a dentist visit should be in your future soon. I know what I'm talking about as I experience the same issue.

I myself have suffered from toothaches. I have found that I get severe headaches, migranes, my jaw hurts and even sick to my stomach. Recently I discovered that I grind my teeth in my sleep. This can cause all of these symptoms. Best bet is to get a mouth guard for when you sleep. Although it is not what you want to hear, you would be best off getting it checked out to make sure that it is the source of these pains.
