I have been battling a dental problem lately. Suddenly one of my molars became very sensitive to cold water. I figgered I had a cavity and I went to the dentist and she took x-rays but they didn't show anything. She took an educated guess and replaced the filling in the tooth.
Long story short, the problem persists and I went back and she is treating the problem (guessing?) that it is a case of tooth sensitivity. She's got me rubbing globs of sensitivity toothpaste on it at night and said to give it some time and see if it gets better.
I have never had tooth sensitivity issues and am just wondering how that works. I always got the impression it was a general condition that would affect all your teeth. Does it make sense that it would be extreme sensitivity in just one tooth at the back and all your other teeth are fine?
Obviously I don't like to just take the word of a professional dentists without confirming with gamelive.
