Have you had pain off and on in this same area for a long time? Have you ever heard of Trigeminal Neuralgia? You may want to look it up at least. It can present itself as tooth pain and people have teeth root canalled and extracted only to end up with more pain. Your story just sounds similar to what others with Trigeminal Neuralgia go through.

I had so much pain in my last molar about 6 months after cap and root canal I had to have it extracted. So I now have the last 2 molars with caps and root canals and now I'm having excruciating pain in the area. It's been a week already and no relief. The dentist took an x-ray and it's normal. She did say that the sinus cavity runs very low and wanted me to see an ENT doctor. Well I first went to my primary. He said sinuses look good. Did a quick blood test to check for infection and said that looked ok but he would give me a script for 250 mg's of amoxicillin. It's day 3 and no relieve. Advil, aleve and Tylenol do nothing! My doctor sent me for a sinus xray and that was also normal. Tomorrow off the the ENT. ITS JUST MAKING ME CRAZY! The pain is giving me a headache. I get pain between the 2 teeth when anything hits it, food, water, hot, cold room temperature. It's so odd. The other problem is I've been getting shots for osteoporosis for the past year called Prolia. I keep wondering if that has anything to do with it. My dentist is very knowledgable and up to date with everything. But can't seem to locate the problem . I do have very sensitive teeth and cleanings kill me but I just don't know what to do! Any thoughts? I know it takes time and she doesn't want to rush into anything unnecessary but my mouth hurts so bad.
