Extreme teeth sensitivity + loosening

Case Summary

Case Description
I have had pain in my upper left jaw a few weeks ago. It was isolated to tooth no. 14. However, Dental x-rays and limited examinations reveal nothing. The pain went away and returned recently and it seems the tooth next to it is also affected. I first had sharp, shooting pains along the jaw and then the pain was replaced by extreme sensitivity in the two teeth, who also feels to be loosening. I cannot eat as any contact is painful. Is this nerve related? Or what can the cause be?

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Good morning, sorry to hear about your unresolved tooth pain. When pain becomes a "shooting" sensation and in on/off, it is often related to the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. You may have the beginning of an abscess formation. This would explain sensitivity to contact and the feeling of looseness in the tooth. In the beginning of an abscess formation, a dental xray will not always pick up the problem. Please be advised, this is NOT a diagnosis, I would need to see you to be certain. You may also have a periodontal issue happening. Let us know if we can help.
