The mystery surrounding the bizarre disappearance of the father of Chicago Bulls basketball superstar Michael Jordan was partially solved Friday when a body that had been found floating in a South Carolina creek on Aug. 3 was identified as that of James Jordan.
After my insistence that the pain was still there, the dentist thought it was referred pain from the molar behind it, so I got a root canal and crown on that tooth as well, several years ago. I'm still experiencing pain to hot and cold and sensitivity to sweet. I'm sure it is one of those two molars.
If it's your gums, you may be allergic to something in the toothpaste. Sensitivity to certain toothpaste ingredients is not unusual. It can cause gum soreness, or even gum tissue sloughing (peeling) like you peel after a sunburn. You should stop using it and see if the problem goes away. If you don't have sensitive teeth you don't need it anyway. I like Prevident 5000 for tooth sensitivity and cavity prevention. Prevident is a prescription strength fluoride gel. It has more fluoride than over the counter toothpaste and not only improves sensitivity but makes teeth more resistant to cavities.
