Hi,
It is unusual that mouth pain caused by a dental treatment will make a person debilitated. There could be an underlying disease that could have affected your aunt simultaneously with the dental treatment. The treatment could be a coincidence. Please go for MRI of the brain, spine, full body scan, ANA tests and consult a neurologist for complete examination, diagnosis and treatment. There are certain diseases like Lyme’s disease, Multiple sclerosis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis etc. that cause debilitating symptoms. They need to be ruled out. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
