Case Description
I have been to several dentists, a periodontist and and endodontist and nobody seems to be able to diagnose my problem. Who deals with the jawbone specifically? I have a sore receding gum over 14, a very sore bump on the jawbone just above the highpoint of the recession. 13 has been root canaled. There is a drainage that burns my mouth and lips and makes my stomach upset. Who do I need to see next? I am paying out of pocket to try to get diagnosed, I won't have enough for the cure! Please someone make a suggestion. I am in pain.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
