I have toothache that comes and goes, do I need a root canal?
Q.
I HAVE HAD AN ACHE IN 1 OR 2 TEETH SINCE AUGUST. IT GETS BETTER FOR A WHILE & THEN RETURNS. TEETH FEEL BRUISED. A FEW YEARS AGO I SAW THE DENTIST WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HE SAID IT WAS GUM RECESSION. i HAVE BEEN USING AN ULTRASONIC TOOTHBRUSH SINCE AND THIS CURED IT. BUT RECENTLY THE SYMPTOMS HAVE RETURNED. CAN YOU HELP – MY WORST FEAR IS HAVING A ROOT FILLING.

you need x-rays to check the roots, assuming the roots are ok you should try a desensitising toothpaste
