Are you taking plenty of calcium, magnesium,zinc. viamin a, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and other Bvitamins and vitamin c? You should rinse your mouth a few times a day with very warm salt water(a spoon of salt dissolved in a cup water that is quite warm). I had plenty of gum problems after having many amalgams removed. The warm salt water helps sooth the gums.


Do you floss your teeth every day? Do you rinse your mouth with Listerine? I like the Listerine advanced, as it has zinc.


I have had 3 root canals. Some will tell you to have the tooth pulled instead, hower if the tooth isn't a wisdom tooth then you may need a bridge or implant. Root canals are not good, however quite often the alternatives are worse.


Did you already have a root canal? Root canaled teeth can be quite sensitive for a while. Warm salt water a few times a day helps greatly. Did you have a dental cleaning recently? If not, that might help. You could also try using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
