Hi,a couple of days ago I was having some throbbing in my upper jaw and headache in temples, pressure in head as well. (The jaw and temple aches have gone away.) My back tooth is and was sensitive as well. Know it just seems to hurt directly in the center for the first two bites that I take and then goes away. Could this be due to maybe my sinuses bothering me? I have had work on this tooth before and it is sensitive to hot and cold. I just had a dental appointment within the past 6 months and nothing was said about that tooth. Thank you for your time, Kim Brown
Thanks for your inquiry. From what you are telling me the tooth may need to have a root canal. Especially, if it has hot and cold sensitivity. This usually is a big indicator that a tooth needs a root canal. The first thing that you need to do is to go back to your dentist and have them evaulate this tooth. It may be your sinus, but with the symptoms that you have given me, it may be the beginning of an abscessed tooth. Again, I want to thank you for your inquiry.
