My upper teeth hurt on one side -- cold & heat sensitive - had xrays -endodontist says no decay or absess. do have some erosion. But now for 3 days few minutes it aches randomly and radiates down cheek where muscle is. Is this normal amount of pain for this condition? Have been told to wait a few weeks for the nerve to calm down & over-counter meds are inefftective.
Hi due to erosion, protective layers of your teeth i.e. enamel and dentin must have undergone erosion which is leading to sensitivity now. Apply sensory or sensodent-kf. They are for temporary relief. For permanent relief, go to your dentist again and consult him regarding act or restoration if possible. If its in initial stage, restoration will help in stopping sensitivity but if its advanced then you have to undergo act. Wishing you speedy recovery with best regards Chat Doctor.
