Salut a tous

If aux dents is plural how can it be translated as I have a toothache?

Merci

1. When is "à chaque fois" used?

2. Also, does the "enfin" change the meaning of pourrais from "could" to "would be able to" or is that just deciphered by context?

Fireworks is translated in this lesson as "le feu d'artifices" but in this page https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/studylists/view/946769 it is translated as "le feu d'artifice". In Larouse online it is translated as "le feu d'artifice" too. The Kwiziq writing challenge about Bastille Day also uses "le feu d'artifice".

But elsewhere on the web I can see examples with "les feux d'artifices" and even "les feux d'artifice". So all 4 possibilities of singlular and plural for both the noun and adjective are covered.

Are all of these variations correct?

I understand that "pêche" can be used as an adjective (les robes pêche, le stylo pêche, etc.) and that it's invariable (as are marron and orange). I am confused as to whether it would be "LA pêche est ma couleur préférée." or "LE pêche est ma couleur préférée."  I was taught that when colors are used as nouns (rather than adjectives) they are always masculine. I've found examples in dictionaries that show it as both, but I'd like to be able to tell someone definitively how to say it. The way I'm seeing it most frequently is 'la couleur pêche'. Can it be referred to as 'la pêche' (thereby breaking the "all masculine" rule)?  Le marron and l'orange don't help much...

Thank you very much!
