I am having pain with the back teeth at the roots. It has been going on for a while. When I brush my teeth, whever the water is a little colder or hotter,my back teeth hurt. I felt it was from gum edges.
I once had x-ray and was told that i have severe bone loss and should have root cleaning. I did it once only with the back teeth. I also use mouthwash for a while. However, my friend told me mouthwash is not good so I stopped and use salty water instead. Now my gums look pretty healthy and no bleeding at all when brushing teeth. However, I am afraid the root nerves were exposed and probably caused the frequent pain. The pain started after I did the root cleaning.
Does anyone have the same experience or know what is going on? Does it mean it is pretty serious and what should I do?
Thank you very much!
