TN, CRPS & Root Canal
 

I haven't been here in several years but need your assistance.

In 2013, I had two cracked fillings (#5 & #14) replaced and ended up with TN. I saw a specialist who told me that I would eventually need root canals and I've been able to hold off until now. I was diagnosed with root sensitivity, irreversible pulpitis along with a fracture in #14.

I also have CRPS and needless to say, I am very nervous about seeing the endontist next week. I have been able to keep the pain under control with medication until a month ago when a hard bump appeared in the gum. I want to make sure I provide the endodentist with information on both TN and CRPS. Is there any documentation that I could share with them?

I appreciate any information you can provide.

Hi Hockeymom86,
This is the TNA Facial Pain site Home page. This would give your dentist a small glimpse into the pain and misery TN, and all Neuropathic Facial Pain, causes.
You are very brave to be going for treatment, I wish you well and will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Dave.
