Hi everyone-
Earlier this month, I went to a dentist who said I needed a root canal on one tooth. They were eager to do it right then and there. I declined and went to another dentist who said I had a cavity on the tooth that was touching the tooth the other dentist wanted to do the root canal on. Ever since, I have had no sensitivity or any issues. However, now it seems that all of the teeth on the lower left jaw have a dull ache. What could this be caused by?
?

Clinching your teeth while sleeping.
You should have got a copy of the x days to have the second dentist see them.
You can try this to see if you need a root canal. It's not really clinical, but you should try. Dentist would hit it with compressed air.
Drink ice water then hold your cheek out of the way and suck air through that side of your mouth through your teeth. If one tooth hurts so much you want to cry you probably need a root canal.
If it's your left side, down your neck into your should ER now.
