Hi Bryanna

You're right, the side with facial pain is the left side. I had a crowned tooth that was pulled using surgery. Now I have exactly the same tooth on the other side that is abcessed. It is now also painful.

Regarding face/tongue pain; my dentist/s do not wish to tell me the truth, I feel that I am being waffled. With the facial/tongue main symptoms I have, they could surely give me an indication of what is wrong. I think the reason for not telling is either because a) admission of negligence i.e. they caused my problems or b) they do not wish to unduly stress me further knowing I suffer from bruxism.

My dentist recommended I use hypnotherapy for my teeth grinding. The mouthgaurd is hurting my gums especially around the abcessed tooth.

My problems are compounded. one leading to the other.
