I had a filling 2 weeks ago and I am still suffering. I think it was mainly because of all of the needles used to freeze me. It takes alot to get me froze so I think that may be why....anyone else expeience a simalar thing??
I am just the same, I need about 20% more anesthetic than a "normal" person! I printed off an illustration from here of the Trigeminal pathways. I used a red pen to draw where I feel the pain and made my dentist have a good look at it before injecting so he did not disturb anything. It worked for me, fingers crossed you find relief soon :)
I am scared now of dental too, not that is caused this, but afraid it will make it worse. I may be having MVD and want to discuss with the neurosurgeon about it. I cancelled all my cleanings and I am like Jackie, i need tons of novacaine to have just a filling done. I am very resistent to it. ....Wendy
I feel the same! I have an appt. with a new dentist in a new town. Oh my. What do we do? I feel like we're starting from point A. Yuk!
I don't blame you...from now on..I will be put under for any work and only if it absolutely HAS to be done.
I had my front tooth pulled I'm scared too dear GOD
If the TN is acting out of course I cancel. I am thinking of never having a deep cleaning again because I think that may have caused some breakthrough pain. But who knows with this weird disease.....
Sorry to hear! Were you on any medication at the time?
It is so weird to suddenly be so afraid of going to the dentist since TN. I have my first root canal and a cyst removal next week. Freaking out!
