Periodontal disease: Sensitive teeth from periodontal disease can be due to the loss of bone and exposed root surfaces. Once your teeth are squeaky clean and inflammation is under control, various medications can be applied to the root surfaces to decrease sensitivity. Extraction is left for teeth that are hopeless.

Absolutely not: Are toothaches due to your gum disease, cavities, clenching/grinding, fractures, many other reasons? If you have severe gum disease with severe bone loss extractions may be the best solution. If gum disease mild to moderate, there are other solutions. Infection (gum disease) must be eliminated...can cause serious damage to heart, brain, GI and reproductive systems. Get it fixed.

Gum disease: doesn't necessarily cause a toothache, although severe gum disease may cause pain in the mouth that may be interpreted as a toothache. Anyone with a toothache or gum disease should see a dentist at once for diagnosis and treatment.
