Hi Everyone, Have just been diagnosed at the Dental Hospital as having a hypersensitive nerve caused originally by a wisdom tooth extraction many years ago. I say recently , as back then I did get it settled , with the exception of a few occasions which did not last long. It all stated again big time ,when I had a new lower denture fitted to try and alleviate TMJD problems and these created too much compression on top of it. It affects my lower left side with pain and numbness and spasm in a tendon of the massetter on that side. There is no evidence of structural damage apart from worn Condyles due to no back teeth , but I'm told overall it looks good. Has anyone else had this and how do you deal with it ?

Regards

Nick
