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.
On a front tooth, it can be as simple as gum that has receded (pulled up from the tooth) that allows air to meet the root surface. The root surface is much more porous so allows anything (air, bacteria, etc) better access to the nerve of the tooth and this can, in turn, lead to sensitivity.
