Hi,
I have a strange problem with a tooth that has been stumping a few dentists. It is on the bottom second from the right. It had a few filling, one was deep and close to the nerve. When I chew softly on it the tooth is ok, but when I chew hard it hurts for about 15 minutes. If I continue eventually the gum gets very sore between it and the tooth on the end. They thought it might be uneven on the top, filing down on edge helped a bit. Another dentist decided the tooth was fractured and put on an orthodontic band, but this had no effect. The pain feels more like it is under the tooth, like pressing down hurts there.
