Hi, Thank you for your recent questions! I am sorry to hear that two dentists have two different diagnosis. To be honest, without examining your dental condition, it is difficult for me to tell what is/are the source of problem(s). To answer your question partially, I would like to take a look at your recent dental x-rays on tooth/ teeth that causing you pain. Secondly, what type of pain do you experience? (3) Is/are you teeth hurt when you chew/ eat food ? Is your tooth / teeth sensitive to hard and/or soft food? (4) Is/are you teeth sensitive to both cold and hot temperature food /liquid? (5) Are there any swelling on your gum around the tooth / teeth that hurt? ( Is there an existing large filling on the tooth that hurt? Will it be possible if you could send me the recent dental radiographs for me to take a look at? Yours Sincerely,Dr. Chin
