Dean,

I have a similar situation, except I did not have a root canal

extracted at the site, but had a bridge placed over 4 teeth, last

November as part of restoration work. This tooth that aches is the one

next to an extracted wisdom tooth. It is the area that gets very

sensitive to room temperature water and I must use warm water for

rinsing. It has been getting increasingly sensitive and starts to hurt

if I eat on that side. I do feel the ear area as tender and slightly achy.

I have two bridges (of 4 teeth each) on the left jaw, above and

below. My root canal extraction was in the lower left jaw. The

tinnitus problem I had in my left ear since more than a year has

become very loud - 24 hrs, and now I can hear the faint beginnings in

my right ear.

The dentist had given me a lot of ozone injections during the

restorations, so I don't know what has caused this situation. I even

used calendula oil for about a week after the dental work and my gums

were doing great.

I was debating if I should take homeopathic meds to help (I think

Hekla Lava and Bellis Perrenis are two of the meds sometmes suggested).

I was told that if I had problems they would fix it for free (this

is when I was concerned about my bite misalignment). Now I don't know

what they will do for free and what I may end up paying for. I have

already paid a small fortune for the dental restoration. I had to

travel to the US because I wanted a Huggins recommended dentist. I

will need to travel back, to get work redone for 'free'! Since my bite

misalignment is mostly where the two bridges have been placed (there

is a gap between the two 'layers' so there is incomplete chewing and I

have to shift the food over to the right side to finish chewing(!)) I

can only imagine the only option would be to redo the two bridges!! I

thought I heard him mention something about placing crowns over the

bridges - I hope I misunderstood because that does not seem right.

Sigh! This is a never ending saga, and I haven't even begun chelation yet.
