My second to the last tooth on the right side of my upper jaw and the gums between that tooth and the last tooth have been in pain for quite a while now. I ve seen multiple dentists who have told me that they don t see any signs of a cavity or of anything being wrong, yet the pain still persists. Before, the pain would only come up when I chewed on things that were tough, but now it seems to be constantly there, getting worse whenever anything touches it now. I went to floss for what seemed like the 100th time and in previous tries, the gums between these two teeth would only hurt when I persisted on seeing if something was stuck between them. On this try however, it started to hurt as soon as the floss touched the gums. I didn t even put that much pressure on it, just gently seesaw-ing the floss until it got between my teeth. I really want to know another person s opinion on what I should do. It s come to the point I just want to remove the tooth or get a root canal .
Hello & welcomeAccording to the symptoms you are presenting here your problem seems to be associated with your gums' inflammation known as gingivitis. As no cavity is there & pain progressively become intense (in starting while chewing and now even on touching) so most probably this is gingivitis and there is no need of RCT and extraction. Start doing warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day, HY Chat Doctor. Visit to your dentist for deep cleaning you will get relief. Thanks and take care.
