I was completely normal all of my life, then I had much dental work done over the course of six months. From the very start, I had strange pain in and around some teeth. I had a crown placed on a tooth and later a root canal. The pain stretched up my face and into my ear. The pain progressed into my tongue to the point where talking was extremely painful. After a root canal and retreatment the pain persists. When the tooth hurts my tongue hurt alot also. Many of my teeth hurt for no dentally justifiable reason. I went to many doctors and ENTs.

18 months later I am still battling strange pain sensations in the side of my tongue and face and under some of my teeth I was at the point of extracting teeth, and my dentist referred me to a neurologist. The neurologist thinks that the pain symptoms are a result of Trigeminal neuralgia.
