OMG! Why? I think I have an abessive tooth on my dominate TN side. It’s making the pain worse. There was not even a tooth ache. This is so messed up. Good thing I’m sitting here waiting for my pain doctor appointment. Not even sure what to do I have not found a dentist who will see me because I have TN. What do I?
this sounds gross, but i was not able to brush my teeth for four months and i got an abcess and a cavity... i now need two root canals ... i dont like my dentist attitude so i am in the process of looking for a dentist who has more knowledge about TN ... maybe ask your neuro for a dentist ?

Hi Rebecca,
Luckily I remembered the ordeal specialist who helped in figuring out i had tn. I had to have my top right side front molars pulled last thrusday. If I did not think of the oral specialist I saw last October, I was going to try 1-800 dentist and see if they had any dentist who dealt or had experience with tn. Sorry your dentist is not understanding, been there before and that is no fun. Hope you find dentist soon.
Oh and days were I can’t brush my teeth which is a lot. I take a dry washcloth and run that over my chopers, plus some mouthwash. I figure it’s better then nothing. How you’re able to find a good dentist soon.
