I have wondered this too. I had a root canal over a year ago with 2 crowns (first one supposedly didn't fit well). I have continued to have significant pain although the dentist tells me everything looks good and there is no infection. Several days ago, I significantly cut back on sugar for another reason and the tooth pain has decreased incredibly. I am wondering if there is something within the gums or roots? that continue to be affected by sugar.
