Thanks so much for all your imput, I'm going back to pt and have them start myofacial massage again to help with all this muscle tightness in neck & shoulders. I'm also seeing a tmd, orofacial pain dr this week too hopefully she can help with this. FYI my dentist had to file that tooth down alittle because it was alittle longer then my other tooth, He didnt know why. Again thanks for all your help
It's difficult to link surgical trauma of neck and shoulder to non-odontogenous toothache. However, keep in mind that whole musculoskeletal system function together. There is always chain reaction. Manipulative therapists, such as osteopath or chiropracter, are well trained to diagnose musculoskeletal system.
Could this tooth pain be related to my shoulder & neck surgery, it started after shoulder surgery, My pt did myofascial massage because of the knots & tightness from neck surgery
Non-odontogenous toothache is dental pain is referred from other structure.The most common non-odontogenous toothache is muscular toothache, which is referred from masticatory muscles. Orofacial pain specialists are trained to diagnose and treat uncommon orofacial and dental pains.
Please tell me what a non-odontogenus toothache is never heard of it. I keep wondering if it has to do with intubation for surgery I was thinking maybe they damaged my tooth, or maybe a nerve root crack, What would a orofacial pain specialist do?
If endodontist can not identify dental pathology, it's possible that you may have non-odontogenous toothache, which is best managed by orofacial pain specialist.
