Diagnosis: No internet research and no dentist on this site, no matter how intelligent, experienced and knowledgeable can replace a competent dentist who can personally evaluate your situation, along with seeing x-rays of the area involved. Find and trust a local dentist to determine and treat the cause of your symptoms.

Hard to say...: Are you asking us to confirm your dentist's diagnosis? Not possible. You need to be examined by another local dentist, since an internet diagnosis cannot be accurate for your situation.
