Dr. Theodore Davantzis answered

Specializes in Dentistry

See a dentist: The tooth may have a cavity that you cannot see. It may also be fractured or have a gingival defect. You may be grinding your teeth, the nerve may even be non-vital... impossible to evaluate correctly without visualization.

Dr Malerman and another doctor agreed
