Hi there.
Ok I have to be honest, I haven't got the energy to even post at the moment and quite ill but who else to ask than my second fam here that knows ?
I have this sensitivity to a tooth area. Thought it would go away but it didn't. When air hits the area or a cold drink or rinsing mouth when rinsing makes the sharpest most painful pain happen and it went up into my cheekbone pretty high. So I said best get my butt to the dentist. Pay $85 for the visit, she took xray said no evidence of root canal needed, the filling there looks fine, no decay, maybe a little receding gum may expose the nerve try sensodine and if that don't work, we will try to replace that filling and if that don't work, then we can try to do a root canal, but again no evidence suggests that. She did the cold test and it didn't happen but then put air around the area did not happen, until a few seconds later. I said the there it is ......she says should be gone by now, I say it is not gone...lasts bout 45 second or more......hmmmmmm so I leave and get the toothpaste.
Now I yawn and I feel that jabber pain shoot downward from lower cheeck to the tooth area....hmmmm....thought maybe the air is hitting the area when I open my mouth. Who the heck knows. Then I am sitting here pressing around my nose area...ouch ! Ok so when I press to the left of my nostril on my face though, it electrifies downward into the tooth area. So maybe it is not the gum line.....and something else? What the heck?
So I google it to see and come up with this thing called trigaminial neuralgia......often misdiagnosed and dentist do all kinds of things to see if it solves it without evidence.......now my big question is.......anyone else have this symptom? It is swelling of the nerve and then damage vessels to it and the way the brain sends signals......so nothing about Lupus related but can it be? Nerve involvement?
It is just making me think......ever have a sensitive tooth that if you press on your face it radiates that pain?
