Tooth ache

Is 牙病 tooth ache or tooth disease?

妻子患了牙病，疼得特别厉害，痛苦的声音传到隔壁邻居那里，邻居也感到揪心。邻居问她丈夫：“你妻子的牙痛已经好几天了，你得想想办法呀！” “我想了啊！”丈夫回答，“这几天我一直用棉球塞住耳朵。”

The wife came down with a tooth disease, and her teeth hurt like hell, all day, you could hear her pitiful moans laced with pain and agony that eventually, her neighbor heard, and her neighbor started to feel sad. "Your wife's disease has already been going on for several days now!" the neighbor told the husband. "You have to think of a plan (to cure it)!" "Of course I tried to think!" the husband retorted indignantly, "I've stuffing my ears with cottonballs all this time and still nothing worked!"
