Tooth Nerve pains.

I sympathise with this one. You need to go back to your dentist, or preferably a different dentist, and really insist they take you seriously. I don't want to worry you, but I was in your position - and it went on for 40 years!

I had a first lower molar that kept getting filled and re-filled every couple of years by a whole succession of dentists for about 40 years, and it never stopped hurting. None of them ever found anything wrong with it either - or at least that's what they all said - in spite of many of them taking X-rays. They just kept re-doing the filling.

Finally, after 40 years, during which time I'd learned to cope with the pain and just chew on the other side, a different dentist did a root canal on the tooth. It was a difficult, lengthy procedure, as by that time I was in my mid-50s and my teeth had filled up with arthritic calcifications.

Then the pain really started in earnest. A few years down the line from the root canal I developed a serious abscess, with the swelling spreading under my tongue and threatening my airway. The maxillofacial surgeon who extracted the tooth (having put me on antibiotics for a few days first) said that from what she could see, the tooth had been fractured into the root for a very long time, possibly the entire 40 years!

I'm not telling you this to scare you. But if you have persistent pain you really do need to be firm with any dentist you see. Good luck!

Hello uche

Go back to your dentist and explain what is going on with your teeth. This should not have happened in the first place. If the holes in your teeth were very large cavities

Then really they should have been crowned.

See if they can be salvaged if not get them extracted and a bridge fitted.

But I question your dentist as a professional

Maybe you should have been sent for a referral if your dentist was unsure in his work, what he has left you now with painful sensitive teeth.Which is not right. You shouldn't be getting this if your dentist had done a good job in the first place.

There are dentists that can sort your mouth out but it will probably cost you more to get the sensitivity in your gums and teeth sorted now.But use a sensitive toothpaste

Sensodyne pro the one my dentist told me to use it make your teeth less sensitive. It does work. And electric toothbrushes I use a Braun one they clean your teeth far better than a conventional self brushing toothbrush. Use the pink or coloured spacer teeth brushes you can buy different sizes according to your teeth and gum gaps in your mouth width wise I mean.

But by and large don't suffer anymore and get your teeth fixed before you develop other problems in your mouth.

All the best liz😊
