Ok Listen I have TMJ, I got it after some dental work was done on my teeth last year, The nerves in my face are killing me. my mouth burns on the inside as well on the outside my lips burn and sometimes I get stabbing pain in my cheekbones, I will have burning even on my nose.This so miserable. Has anyone had this. The doctor tells me my bite if off that's causing this.
It seems like dental work is a trigger for me when it comes to trigeminal nerve pain, as this happens almost every time I get some dental work done, even a cleaning but it varies in intensity and duration, with the amount of work done.
Has your mother seen a Neurologist for evaluation? I had Trigeminal Neuralgia after shingles on my face, and the pain is worse than anything I've ever felt before. She definately needs to be checked out.
my son developed trigeminal neuralgia after a dental procedure. he is presently on medication for it. he is 28 years old and what is research showing for future care.
If there is no dental patholgy identified, based on your presentations , the differential diagnosis includes, but not limited to, trigeminal autonimic cephalgia, neurovascular orofacial pain,pretrigeminal neuralgia or trigeminal neuralgia.Seeing an orofacial pain specialist is advised.
Symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia after dental visit. Sensitive to many of the treatments. Tolerate Gabapentin but makes me very drowsy. I would like to hear about natural elements I can explore. I have also developed multiple allergies to many foods and animals I did not have an issue with previously.
I have a recent dx of Trigeminal Neuralgia from Primary Care and have been referred to Neurology for further evaluation. The pain distribution is unilateral and follows the sensory distribution of cranial nerve V at the maxillary area. History of previous trauma (neuroplasia) dates to 1997, though asymptomatic to current presentation. There is no prior history of TMJ, aneurysms, tumors or other common precipitants. I am 61 years old, consistent with typical onset.
Hi, About a year ago, I suddenly developed shooting pains in the front of my face, above my upper front teeth. I went to the dentist, who x-rayed me, and said I had an abscess, above my left upper 1 tooth. He did root canal treatment, but could not find anything, the pain did not go away, and after several root canals, he referred me to a consultant for an apicectomy. When the operation was done, as he drilled through the bone, he said there was lots of pus to drain away.
I just found out that I do have Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have the same symptons you have and I have researched this many people have unneccesary procedures done on their teeth thinking its that. I would recommend before you undergo the root canal seeing a Neurologist and having them do a MRI they will be able to see if its the Trigeminal Neuralgia by this test. I hope this helps, I know how
frustrating this can be and also how painful it is. Please let me know what happens.
I have been suffering for 2-1/2 years with oral facial pain. It began on the left and is now bilateral. I get severe, constant pain in the upper gums, teeth, cheeks, temples, jaws, neck. At times there are sharp twinges, but mostly it is a deep, constant ache. I have had close to pain-free moments, but just when i think I'm cured, it flares up. I have had 2 diagnosis. TMJ with osteoarthritis of the jaw joints and cervical spine. The other diagnosis is from a neurologist.
I have not seen a doctor. Trigeminal neuralgia came up while researching my symptoms. My insurance just barely kicked in on Sept 3rd, so I can now see a dr for symptoms I have been experiencing for over a year now. Thank you, for taking the time to read this.
Consult a neurologist if there has been any such recent development in your husband. Dental consult is also warranted to rule out trigeminal nerve involvement or any dental cause of numbness. Take care.
Symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia is usually caused by multiple sclerosis or by tumours arising near the trigeminal nerve root.
Differential diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia:
Cluster headache - Longer-lasting pain; orbital or supraorbital; may cause patient to wake from sleep; autonomic symptoms
Dental pain (e.g.
If the pain is caused by trigeminal neuralgia or atypical odontalgia, Dental condition probably has nothing to do with the pain, because enen if there is no tooth of pain site , pain is still present. If the pain is caused by referred pain from myofascial trigger point of masticatory muscle or occlusal interference, dental occlusion is a significant contributing factor.
The pain in teeth 5 and 6 were initially diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia, however I have none of the symptoms of trigeminal, other than the pain being in the general area of the trigeminal nerve. This pain, (5 and 6) would spread in a line, #5 going up my face, through the eye socket and into the scalp. #6 would go from the tooth along my cheek and into the back of my head. I finally convinced my dentist to extract #6 and that line of pain stopped after the extraction.
