This made me very angry and confused... the healthcare system became my enemy. I saw a group of dentists, a few family docs, orthodontist, tmj expert, ear/nose/throat- who stuck a camera past by broken septum to look into my throat, also prob the worst doc ive ever met with, no compassion seemed to think i was making it up or exaggerating greatly- his final diagnosis was take acid reflux meds..thanks jerk. Finally I switched my dentist for about the 5th time and she actually was very concerned, sent me immediately to the same oral surgeon who removed my wisdom teeth when I was a kid, he did some quick tests, also found nothing and said "gotta be nerves" sent me to neuro where i was diagnosed atypical TN.

have you seen a neurologist? If not i recommend so.
