Hi--
I think the dental work that he did, either got my jawbone, and Trigeminal
nerve infected, or the work on the molar was putting pressure on the
trigeminal nerve itself, as it runs down the jawbone.

Oddly, when I walked in (by surprise) to get the oral surgeon referral,
there were no patients, office closed, and there was a plumbing crew there
replacing all the piping in his dental office. Cleaning piping and
everything. He actually tried to stand physically in the way to hide it from
me. Moving as I moved to hide it. Told me harshly to get out of his Dental
work area. Strange.

It had been destroying my life for about 3 months, I was absolutely getting
desperate, it was so bad. They had me on Tegritol pills, which was messing
with my mind even to my having to limit my driving to a minimum. They put me
in a Cardiac ward for 4 days, because they thought the jaw pain was a heart
attack in progress.No one (Doctors, Dentists, Neurologists, Oral Surgeons)
wanted to believe it was my molar, so I doggedly went ahead on my own. They
told me that the decision to pull the molar was my personal decision, they
disagreed, but it would be pulled out by him, only with my written
permission so he would not be charged with pulling out a perfectly good
molar, for insurance coverage, if any.

They had said it would be a lifetime thing, pain, Tegritol and all, but he
(Oral Surgeon) would remove it, if nothing else to humor me, but I had to
sign papers as a waiver for him.

But he saw something was wrong when 6 shots didn't even touch the pain. Then
he changed sides, and became an ally for me.
He set me up for general Anesthia so he could even touch the outside of the
molar with a dental utensil. Yes, things were that horribly bad, absolutely
no exaggeration.

But, the minute that molar came out, the pain was gone.They were very!
surprised when I went to their next appointments, and told them that the
molar, and the horrible pain, were gone.

When I had a partial teeth dental put in many years later, the dentist was
trying to grind on the molar which was in front of the one  I had took out.
I went thru the ceiling with Trigeminal pain. He was startled with a "What's
going on here, Strange?"

For whatever reason, it looks like that molar's roots must be near to the
Trigeminal nerve.

That's why I think it was either physical pressure or infection from the
dentists office. Especially with the hiding of the plumbing/cleaning work.
