A good way to share information about TN or other nerve damage that might be related to dental problems / pain , is to add some links or posts about it in the dental forum sticky thread-

Then as new members come along hopefully they will see & read it.

My main concern is more that a person could have a compression (brain) and by coincidence also have root canalled teeth, etc. I have read many stories of people who suddenly have who seems to be pain in their mouths/teeth. They remove teeth, thinking they have a dental problem. However, upon MRI, they are found to have a comprehension. Such cases actually have a decent chance of a "cure," through MVD surgery. Pulling all the teeth in the world, will not stop their pain, since they don't have a dental problem. I have seen posts of folks who have removed almost all their teeth. And then got full relief with an MVD (brain surgery).

I think infection SHOULD be evaluated. But, I also think neurologists need to be consulted as well.

And in my case, I probably had substandard dental care to begin with and then Had bad dental care afterwards, even though I was willing to see any dentist and spend any amount of money to get better. I read Bryanna's posts too see if I can protect myself from further damage, because none of my dentists are doing that.

But, I do feel and know I have been permanently damaged neurologically and in that way it is too late. I have been blessed with a good neurologist who probably saved my life.

Yes, I agree with posters who say that not all problems X are caused by Y -- especially when it comes to teeth. There's a vast research literature showing that there are many causes related to dental pain -- it is rarely attributable to a single issue in all people for all dental pain (e.g., not all dental pain comes from one cause). Anyone who makes it seem like it can be is, in my opinion, doing an injustice to others and the complicated issues related to dental pain.

However, this is not the forum or thread to argue about opinions related to a specific condition -- and in fact, there should be no arguing, as all opinions are welcomed in our community.

I'm going to close this thread, since the question has been asked and answered already. If you want to discuss specific topics of interest to you regarding dental issues or dental pain, simply start a new thread in our Dentistry & Dental Issues forum:
