Thank you so much. I am hopeful to think there might be a possibility to
save this tooth because of its close proximity to my sinus cavity and having
two teeth with no restorations on either side of it. The x-ray has appeared
clear to two different dentists who each took their own PA x-rays. There is
no hot or cold sensitivity - just pain to biting - biting only hard or
excessively chewy foods. Could the pulp still be dying without giving other
symptoms or without any sign of problems at the root tips on a PA x-ray? I
really hope the answer is yes. Thank you very much for responding and for
your hopeful input. I would like to be able to save this tooth if at all
possible. That's why I'm being so proactive at this early stage rather than
putting it off until I can't stand it anymore like I have in the past with
other teeth.
