Dentists?
Hey everyone. I'm dealing with an extremely sensitive molar around the gum line. I've been to two offices, Hillcrest and Civic Center. Both told me to just use sensitivity toothpaste. They say due to my age (50) and some receding gum line it "just happens". I got frustrated with Hillcrest after them attempting a root canal on a different tooth and breaking the drill off inside the tooth and then needing to remove the tooth, so I then switched to Civic Center. He did do a filling on this sensitive tooth after me almost begging, and told me it probably won't last, and I think the work he did was fine, but the sensitivity is all around the tooth, not just a single spot. Neither one of these dentists cared to actually get to the root of the problem (pun intended). I am in pain with this tooth. I don't think this should just be something I have to now live with. Can anyone recommend a dentist that will actually take me seriously? I appreciate the help
