Hi,

I have written before about my story. I just wonderd if anyone knows if Trigeminal Neuralgia can travel to the other side of your mouth (jaw, teeth, gums,etc.)?

I have it on my "right" side and have had 3 teeth removed with the pain remaining. It all started from the removal of one molar.

I have pain now on an upper molar on my "left "side which the dentist

thinks the teeth  next to the one that hurts are cracked. I began worrying because I don't want him t remove more teeth if it is actually the nerve underneath..So, does anyone know if trigeminal nerve pain can cross over the mid line to the other side?

Thanks!

Anna

    On rare occasions it can. Very rare.  Have you had it diagnosed as TN by a Neurologyst as it could be a condition called SUNA acts almost the same and treatment is more or less the same ask to see a neurolagyst and look SUNA up       Teeth removal and Root fillings get blamed for a lot
