Pain .. cavity?

[yankeefan2]

hello, my tooth is killing me off and on it’s like a dull ache that comes and goes. Sometimes lasts all day long and sometimes comes on randomly. This is an X-ray from about a year ago. I was told all looks ok except for an impacted wisdom tooth on this same side (not pictured) Looking for a second opinion. Does it look like I have a cavity ? Please help I’m desperate for some answers. Thank you so much

I don't see a cavity in the x-ray. Have you been experiencing stress lately? You many be grinding or clenching. Another possibility is your wisdom tooth may be causing pain.

Nothing special n that X-ray. I would routinely take a bitewing X-ray (upper and lower teeth together) when tracking down pain. Pain can be referred to top to bottom, and front to back. Do you have a bitewing for top and bottom teeth, and do you have an OPG for the wisdom teeth?

It actually feels like the pain radiates from my front incisor all the way to the back molar area, so it’s driving me crazy trying to determine which tooth is causing this. Attached are some more X-rays. I would be so grateful if you can take a quick look. Appreciate it so much

I don't suspect the Lower Right wisdom tooth is causing you pain. I don't see anything of concern on the LR. LL however may have recurrent decay on the back 2 molars. I see a black layer under the 2 fillings. The black layer could also be pooling of bonding resin and or micro-gap between the tooth and the fillings.

I'm suspecting you may be grinding or clenching either at night or when you are not aware.

Sorry, can't see anything that would give you that degree of pain on RHS. Have you considered a pain clinic?
