Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your reply!

I'm not sure if I may be developing trigeminal neuralgia, but the thought of it terrifies me.

My back tooth pain is quite mild most of the time. More annoying than anything. And when my top and bottom back teeth touch on the left hand side it is quite sensitive. So I'm hoping I might have some temporary nerve damage that will heal in time. I really hope that's the case.

Best of luck with your upcoming surgery!
