Anyone know how a layperson can tell the difference between an exposed root and sensitive teeth?

Every time I drink/eat either hot or cold foods a tooth on the left upper side of my mouth HURTS! I've tried several products for sensitve teeth to no avail. I have to get everything just the perfect temp of high lukewarm. If it's sensitive teeth is there something more strong than Sensydene toothpaste? That stuff works very little on me! If it is an exposed root how is that handled without pulling the tooth?

Anyone know how a layperson can tell the difference between an exposed root and sensitive teeth?
All that is required is for the dentist to either do a root canal or perhaps just filling the tooth will close the exposure.
Reply:Just go ask your dentist. The worst case scenario is that you will need to have the nerve removed - but not the tooth.





You may be able to fix the sensitivity with prescription strength fluoride that your dentist can recommend and prescribe.
Reply:an exposed root is a naked man, sensitive tooth is a rotten smelly putrid tooth
Reply:Well ....sounds that you sound go to the dentist and get a x-ray....If you live in LA....I would love to help you. I work for a dental office in the city of Long Beach, If you like I'd give you a free exam and x-rays...or just find someone who will do that for you. It might be that the dentin of you tooth is exposed or the root...you might need a crown of just a filling but the only way to know for sure is to get an exam. please call me if you want the exam 562-430-2740
