Hi Dr., Ive been having pain in my molars (#2 and #31). Sometimes the pain extends to the left side and causes pain in #18 and #15. Is there a nerve that is connected throughout the mouth? Im thinking if the nerve on one side is damaged, then it might be causing the pain to the other 3. I highly doubt they all need root-canals and think the dentist is simply looking into making money... I checked another dentist but he doesnt know either. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi... thanks for the query...you need proper clinical and radiographic examination... i don't think they all need Acts until or unless they are deeply carious... sometimes when infection reaches the periapical region, it becomes diffuse and one can't point out the tooth involved, so proper examination is required...hope it will help you... take care...
