What Causes Severe Pain In The Gums?

I have had pain in my back gums and check for about 8 months. Been to dentist, ENT, and periodontist, and they are stumped. Pain is worse under strss, after drinking carbonated drink or juices. Pain gets so bad I have to take pain pill. Had two dental type surgeries, after the last one two weeks ago, dr thought I have a faultly filling on last molar, but he thinks he was able to clean it out. Had three d ex ray....shows nothing. Still in pain. Any suggestions? I am 54, in good health,take blood pressures meds and anti anxiety....

Dentist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

Since you have already been to dentist and periodontist and also got x rays done.That means there is no underlying pathology.One thing I would like to know is that pain is unilateral or in both the sides of jaw (bilateral)?

It is better to get a MRI done for that side so that the tissues are thoroughly examined.
The pain could be neurogenic. Therefore get MRI done and meet an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in this regard.

Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
