Hello everyone, i had an impacted wisdom tooth taken out about 2 months ago and it healed wrong. Now i have two pieces of bone sticking out. They have to go in and cut them out and stitch it back up. Now that i know I have TN i am terrified. I don't have a choice because otherwise i wont be able to eat on that side of my mouth again. I decided to get laughing gas to help, or does anyone think i need to be completely sedated? If anyone has gone through this please let me know. Its so hard for me because I NEED this dental work done but the TN is making everything 10x worse and my anxiety is through the roof. Im on medication for my anxiety disorder, but i feel like nothing ever goes right. Im so afraid this can set me of into a worse attack. I notice every time i leave the dentist the TN gets very aggravated. I wish i diddnt have to do this, im so nervous i made it for as soon as possible so i don't have to sit here and think about it. TN came from having to have all this dental work done and i have to keep doing more :( thanks, Jen :)
Maybe take some extra TN meds tonight and all day tomorrow. When I got out in the cold wind and had a flare-up, I popped an extra Tegretol that night and was better by morning. But you should ask your doctor first to make sure it's ok. Good luck!
I had a wisdom tooth impacting a molar 2 months after my TN diagnosis, I had sedation, healed fine, didn’t notice any aggravation with my TN. Good luck!
