A few weeks ago, I had the most extraordinary pain in my upper teeth. Almost a pulsing pain. It kind of felt like I had been hit in the mouth and had my teeth loosened by it, but I hadn't. I didn't think it could be a cavity because it was several teeth all next to each other on the same side. It came on very suddenly and lasted several days and went away as suddenly as it came on. Could that have been a TN kind of thing?

It could have been.

I had a situation one time, where I had a molar that hurt like you are describing. I went to my dentist, and he said there was nothing wrong with my tooth. I went to the doctor, and he said "must be the tooth, sinuses are good". I went back and forth to each doc 2 times each (the pain lasted about 10 days) .... until one day, my entire tooth fell out, roots and all.

I have had mouth issues, including intermittent numbness in my teeth, since my teens. I have also had mouth numbness (lips, throat, roof of my mouth, etc.) and facial numbness . . . plus that experience with the tooth that fell out. They've never determined exactly what causes it, but I'm inclined to think it is related to the MS.

I get tooth pain with the ATN as well. Usually on the right side and since I have had the pain on and off for more than 15 years, I'm pretty sure there's no dental issues, and so is my dentist.

In fact, now that I think about it, tooth pain was probably my first sx of TN, and goes back easily 15 years, with years of remission, and only minor outbreaks of pain. It has only gotten worse over the last few years, which lead up to my MS dx. There are times when it is painful to chew on my right side.

Still haven't figured out the pain at the corners of my mouth, but I'm pretty sure it's related to the TN.

The first spot I had pain Catch was actually right above my top row of teeth on the left side, now that I think of it. That was in 2000/2001. I can remember it, because I even tried putting the non-coated tylenol on my gums to try and dull the pain, and I went to a dentist at that time to have it looked at, and they found nothing wrong through xrays.
