Needs evaluation: Your problem is best resolved by seeing the dentist who is actually treating you, knows both you medical and dental history, and can personally examine you in order to determine the cause of your symptoms, which can then be followed with appropriate treatment as warranted. He or she can also best answer your questions and refer you to other specialists if necessary.

See treating dentist: Something is wrong. Go back to your dentist for a follow-up. Since there are many possible reasons for this problem it is very difficult to discuss it without more information.

Many factors: It is impossible to answer that without seeing the radiographs and having more information. Go back to your dentist and tell him what's going on. Maybe going to an endodontist is a good idea.
