I have been to the doctor and the dentist this week and am being told 2 different things.... i'm in a lot of pain and at a loss as to what to do?

Seek more info: Perhaps a 3rd opinion is in order. Health care professionals come at problem resolution based on their training. They only see what they know. Often there is overlap. Sometimes differing opinions can open new paths of investigation. You never told us what your problem is, but perhaps the opinion of a Dental or Medical Specialist, rather than GP's, is indicated.

More info needed...: Not exactly what your problem is, but you'll need to see someone with the experience of a dentist and a physician of the head and neck. Make an appointment with an oral surgeon to be evaluated.

Start with dentist: Too vague to ascertain. See your dentist, have the dentist evaluate your recent full mouth series of x-rays for any restorative or periodontal needs. If the symptoms involve TMJ, you may need to be referred. If the symptoms are indicative of sinus involvement, an ENT consult may be in order.

Told different: Need more details, Did you get x-rays taken?. What sort of pain are you having? What are your symptoms? Hard to say what might be going on. Give us more specifics and we may be able to assist
