Hello,
I too suffered nerve pain after the extraction of my bottom left side wisdom tooth. I was told it was an overactive nerve and it would calm down in 3 weeks. TThat was told to me by an oral surgeon...Well its been 2 and 1/2 years and I still have pain. So does the dentist think you dont have ATN or nerve damage.? Just nerves compressed by muscles? I have never heard of that before. So what do they suggest you do about the pain? Or the compression? Do you have full dentures? Do they cause more pain for you? I have 11 teeth left and want to get all extracted for full dentures. Sorry so many questions...I hope you get relief from your pain..Pleas let us know how things go for you...
