My tooth is sensitive to hot and cold but otherwise causes me no trouble. The dentist can't find the problem.?

She has x-rayed it twice in the span of 3 weeks. We are assuming that an endodontist will be more likely to find the problem but I'm losing my dental insurance this week. I don't suppose there is another benign cause of tooth pain that will go away?

I would suspect a hair line crack in the tooth that would not show up on an x-ray. Or you may just have some root sensitivity that by using a toothpaste like Sensodyne for a couple of weeks would help.
