In my case oral nerve surgery was A micro neurosurgery in the oral cavity performed in an attempt to relieve trigeminal nerve disorder caused by dental procedure that resulted in trauma to the nerve. My main doctor was a oral & maxillofacial jaw surgeon. The reason I responded here to this discussion was because I noticed the mention of dental work and nerve pain.

You don't have to justify your input, everyone is welcome that is the beauty of this Forum. In your case you brought new, first-hand experience to the discussion - hopefully leading Makenzie to new, improved treatment and less pain. I cannot imagine having tongue and jaw problems that you had/have. The TN hurts (obviously), but my main eating/mouth problems come from the parasthesia where my lips, cheek and tongue are pins and needles numb. This brings on a fair amount of drooling, slopped drinks(I tend to drink out of bottles to reduce this, plus I shake a lot) and bitten cheek and tongue when I eat. When there is something neurologically wrong with your tongue it feels, well, Wrong! More so than other body parts I think. Does it also affect your speech as it does mine? I wish you continued improvement. Dave. |

Yes I had 3 oral surgeon opinions. Only one did total face/jaw reconstruction ect.. Your dentist, endo, perio, or oral surgeon should follow up with your condition until it resolves. Pain management is for drugging the pain when it becomes chronic.

I had a cleaning and that started the problem a little bit, my filling got loose, and that acerbated the problem, then he did a root canal and the pain and burning was so bad he pulled the front too. He said I could go to an oral surgeon for a CT scan and if he couldn't find anything I would have to go to a neurologist. My condition was just diagnosed a little over a month ago, and I have been seeing a pain management dentist. It has helped a bit but the problem comes and goes. I wouldn't even know what to say to the neuro surgeon. I doubt he could help me. I was also told the problem was always there but the dental work brought it out. Not many people are familiar with this problem on a large scale. I have had a MRI and Xrays and scans and there is no tumor nothing pushing on the nerve, so I don't know what a neuro surgeon could do. I am at the moment exploring other alternatives. |

How old was the filling that came loose? Was the gum area inflamed prior to the root canal? Is burning your main complaint and is it constant?

The filling was at the very least over ten years old and was very deep. My Newfoundland had chipped part of my tooth so it was filling and bonding. The nerve was dying as shown in the scan, which is why they wanted to do a root canal, thinking the burning would subside. The root canal made it worse, the dentist couldn't even touch my tooth, so he pulled it, thinking it was fractured. Turns out the nerve was affecting the tooth next to it. . The gum was burning but there was no inflammation according to the xrays. The burning was horrible but the tooth next to the extraction site was sore and hurt. The burning has been under control but the soreness of the tooth and in between the tooth next to it comes and goes. The burning I can not handle and I am always afraid it will come back.
