Medication ( a combination of gabapentin and carbamazapine) has helped manage the most severe pain but still have electrical, burning pain from lower eye through facial area. Also, when I have hygenist cleaning of teeth each six months, the extreme pain begins for weeks after. Does anyone experience dental work as a "trigger? Thanks

My TN is in my mouth and around my teeth and to have my teeth cleaned is terriable afterwoulds. A dental visit is a nightmare before I go. Your story is like so many people's. Go to your GP and get an appointment to see a neurologyst. Also join TN Association UK. You can find it on line. You will get a lot of help from people that have experience of TN. Don't suffer alone get some help.

I have had TN since 1997; the last four years the pain is getting worse and I have been told by a Specialist that this is due beause i am getting older. Like you, approx four years ago I visited the dentist, for dental work, and in the middle of the dental work, the pain was excruciating. I suffered the pain until the dentist was finished, and told the dentist the problem.
The pain was so horrendous, and still is, I have never been brave enough to return to the dentist.
I thought the "trigger" from the dentist was due to e having MS as well. Intersting to read about you also having pain triggers from the dentist.
