I have had sensations I will call them in my upper gum on the right side since a botched root canal where dentist burned my gums back several times that ended in an extraction. Since them about 8 months now, I have had several dental procedures on an attempt to get rid of this strange tingling sensation. I ended up having another tooth pulled and it made it worse . Tomorrow I have a neurologist appt and I am wondering if you can have TN in a milder form that is not severe pain but agonizing irritation. Any one else experience this? Any words will be appreciated. I am so afraid and I also have not eaten in 3 weeks lost 20 lbs because when I chew it makes the feeling worse. ---

Is the feeling that you are getting like vibrations in short spurts?....Glad you are going to see a neurologist and dont let a dentist touch you anymore till you get a full neurologist exam with MRI. Its very common to have loads of dental work done because few dentists think TN. Hopefully its not TN just some irritation . The good news is it doesnt seem like it has gotten worse for you and TN usually starts with pretty severe pain. Keep us posted and good luck ---

The feeling is almost like a crackling or pinching feeling and when I try to eat it feels like my teeth on that side are crackling or hollow. ---

dont know…it seems everyone experiences something different here-- mine started as a tooth ache in a particular back molar–but it would only be short bursts of pain now and then-- but then the full blown attack later. I also had a numb or tingly feeling on the left side of my face… sometimes my ear hurts, sometimes my jaw just aches-- but the good news is the tegretol took away the bad pain!
