Did the pain start after the cleaning? Have you gone back to get it checked on again?
Has the pain improved the last few days? I would still recommend contacting your dentist to get it evaluated
Have not gone back to hiegenist as I cannot bear to have this area probed. I also feel that I will never, ever have this treatment again.
If the pain is sharp,stabbing, shooting, electric shock like lasting just for few seconds than u must see the neurologist at once, as it may be neuralgic.
If the medicine u r taking is 'tegretol'
and this medicine is conteolling the pain than I think u may b having Trigeminal neuralgia. Pl have it checked by a neurologist.
