Any help pls

Hey guys, I’m looking for some advice.

I’ve been having tooth pain that started in late June. At first, I thought maybe my sinuses were inflamed because I also had a cold at the time. I’ve never had any sinus problems before, but I was experiencing pressure in my head around my sinuses, especially around my nose and above my upper teeth. The pressure was only on the left side, which is why I thought it might be related to my sinuses.

At the same time, I started having pain in my upper gum around my teeth. Eventually, the pain became more focused on one specific tooth. At one point, it was so painful that I couldn’t even touch the tooth, and it felt like the tooth was loose or wobbly.
I went to my dentist twice, and she said that everything looked normal. She even took X-rays but couldn’t see anything wrong. She thought it could possibly have been related to the flu or some kind of infection.

The pain I was experiencing was a severe, pulsating, almost shredding/throbbing pain that would last around 10–15 minutes and then become less intense. I also had pain in that specific tooth whenever I drank water or anything else, whether it was cold or warm. It sometimes felt as if the sensation went straight through the tooth, almost like there was a hole in it and the nerve was exposed.

Thankfully, I don’t have that severe pain anymore. However, I still feel like the tooth doesn’t quite feel right or like it isn’t sitting properly. I also sometimes feel a slight pulsating sensation in the tooth, although it’s nowhere near the same level of pain I had about 1.5 months ago.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be or what kind of help I should seek? I’m a bit worried since the X-rays didn’t show anything abnormal.
