I have AD from a botched root canal where the dentist overfilled my tooth and wrapped the filling (that had formaldehyde as the active ingredient) around my nerve. They aren't supposed to use that crap so they lied to me right past my chance to get it out before it became what it is.

I hear way too many stories about people who come out worse from MVD. PLEASE - if your pain came from a dental procedure please do not let a doctor do an MVD on you. You WILL get worse.

Not sure if this is the case with anyone in this thread. I saw it countless number of times on another site where people don't know the difference between dental injuries and the TN disease/syndrome. I had a neurosurgeon say that he could do one on me and when I asked him what a blood vessel pressing on my nerve in my brain had to do with a chemically burned nerve in my jaw, he changed the subject. I almost plowed him over getting out of his office. BEWARE.
