Dull gum pain between #29 - 30. xrays show no decay, minimal pocket , no bone loss. no bleeding or swelling. contact is good but feels like food stuck?

Neuropathic pain: is one of the most challenging and complex pain conditions. Neuropathic pain is associated with both peripheral and central somatosensory lesions. The continuous neuropathic disorders have constant unremitting pain of varying levels of intensity without any periods of total remission. Simple cleaning could be a cause of this pain. Rec.: see orofacial pain specialist for differential diagnosis.

Restorations ?: Are there any restorations in that area on those teeth ? Could be an overhanging margin or a poor emergence profile. So hard to pinpoint without an exam or radiograph.

Not uncommon: I often see patients with similar problems. Some patients are extremely aware of even the slightest changes in their mouth, & can pinpoint with amazing accuracy the slightest swelling of gums or variation of tooth or filling roughness. Once they have a cleaning, fillings polished & adhere to better oral hygiene the pain is gone. No need to search for unusual or uncommon neuropathic\other causes.

Fit: Are any restorations pushing on the gum? If not could be non-dental pain. Dentist should check quality of the restorations and consider non-dental causes.
