Hi. There is always some reason behind a painful tooth which requires a careful diagnosis by a dentist and appropriate treatment. You should always trust the person who treats you. Don't keep on changing dentist just to come up with some easy get away. Get treated for a permanent solution. Pain killers just Mask the pain and they don't treat the cause.
