A member asked:

Who do you see when your dentist can't figure out what's wrong after root canals, extractions, sinus scan being normal, and still pain in gums/teeth?

Pain: The cause of pain in any part of your body is sometimes difficult to isolate. Do you have pain in specific teeth? Do those teeth have root canal therapy or are they vital? It may be necessary to visit an endodontist to re-evaluate any teeth with root canal therapy. Tooth fractures can sometimes cause pain without being detected. There may also be a neurological component to address.

3 suggestions: First see an endodontist, a root canal specialist. Once cleared by endodontist, next consultation should be with gum/bone specialist, a periodontist. If cleared by periodontist, next step is to see neurologist.
