Default Tooth Extraction

AMEN and HALLELUIAH!!!

Sorry to say that dentists that have not treated TN patients will pull teeth unnecessarily, which can make the situation worse.
I have a similar kind of pain that you describe my canine tooth has always been my point of pain. That in turn radiates to the roof of my mouth and down into my lower jaw...So I'm right there with you..

Have you tried using a steroid like low dose prednsone or Toradol?? That's what always worked for me when nothing else could stop the pain...since you have to wait so long (why??) for an appointment, perhaps your GP would be willing to RX a 5 day blister pack of steroids to see if it brings you any relief???

You mentioned having a procedure done,,can you please explain it? Is that when they freeze off the nerves in your face?? if not please explain it for me...Thanks

Good luck,,,
