Dear Sir/Madam!
For a month and a half I have had pain in the gums under a bridge. I went to the dentist, who took an X-ray and says that nothing is wrong. But I still feel pain. It feels as if I have rheumatism in my gums. What do you advise?

Question

Accepted Answer

Dear Sir/Madam!
Most often the cause of the pain described is an abutment tooth, whether vital or non-vital. X-rays in most cases show changes in hard dental or bone tissues, but these do not always correspond to the symptoms described (pain). We combine X-ray diagnostics with clinical signs (sensitivity to tapping, biting, temperature changes, changes in osmotic pressure...). If a diagnosis cannot yet be made at this moment, the clinical picture will soon become clear enough to make one, after which appropriate treatment can of course follow.
Have a nice day!
