trapped nerve

[goonos]

Hi,

I am still suffering with sensitivity and a trapped nerve, i want to have the nerve removed by root canal but problem is not on xray, how do i get what i want....

The tooth ll5 was sensittievve due to an accident with crown above, now ll4 is same is feels like it pricks in and then the ear pops, i want to have root canal as so sensitive to thermal and cold, i know it's a trapped nerve as i get a sucking sound, toxins from root damage....

How do i get root canal if not on xray?

forgot to say my jaw needs realigning after the infection which i beleive is a symtom of requiring root canal it's happened 2 x times now and is awful....

I am positve root canal will help, how i did the accident was through the tooth so all i have is root canal to try.....it's just so nery and sensitive....

I am due to see orofacial spec soon.......how do they test pulp???????

When i push on the ll4 i can feel my ear pop it's as though something is trapped underneath the tooth........it was an accident and i'm sure it trapped a nerve....

My ear also wont unblock on the left which is connected to the tooth problem, something twists and squeaks in the facial area when i move jaw to the left, i am positive it is a trapped ear nerve......my ll4 is supersentive to heat and is really nervy, surely root canal will take of the nervy feeling on the tooth...........

Due to have an mri saturday which i hope will reveal something but not sure it will..........

If there is no dental or bone pathology revealed on x-ray, and pulp tested vital, root canal treatment is probably futile.Tooth fracture may cause dental symptoms and escape the detection of x-ray, however, clinical visual exam may identify the fracure. Seeing an orofacial pain specialist is advised.
