Just as a start I'll note that I've had quite a bit of dental work including several tooth extractions, root canals and crowns as well as fillings. The problem I currently have is something new though. I had a tooth acting up on me, and after a few visits to the dentist and some observation on the tooth's condition, they concluded it was dying and need a RCT. Everything seem to go fine until the permanent crown was put in place. There was a sharp pinch when the dentist put it in which seem to catch both of us off guard. a few weeks later I could feel like something was wrong in the area. I brought it up with my dentist who X-rayed it, found no issues and referred me to a root canal specialist. They found no issues with it, but it began to spontaneously hurt. After some eight visits and a decent amount of money later, I stopped going as they simply couldn't find any issues with the tooth.
The pain continued on and off. Some months it would be every day for hours, and some months it wouldn't hurt at all. At one point I had a trip by plane out to Vegas to see my father. I wear a partial upper, and over did it on my trip causing a lot of gum pain. That area began to act up again. This pulsing sharp pain from around that tooth, and then I felt something shift in my sinus's and the pain just all went away. I brought that up with my dentist and they suggested a dormant sinus infection. I've had a sinus scan and that came back negative for infection. I've also had a dentist note that the gums around that tooth seem irritated, and I seem to have a small white spot on the gum right next to that tooth.
It's been about 3 years with this. The pain can be anywhere from none, to 3 or on the bad days a 7. It's usually a sudden onset of a sharp pressure pain, then quickly fades for a short moment before coming back. I'm getting really tired of this pain and not having any answers what it could be so if anyone has any idea's I'm all ears.
