Teeth hurt, 3 root canals and 1 extraction later?

has anyone ever heard or been through this. the specialist tell me it is not my teeth hurting , and are sending me on to a orofacial pain clinic. everyone thinks I am nuts, ( friends , family, etc.) but I have been in pain for over 2 months now. has anyone ever heard of this, any advice?

The Orofacial pain clinic is the best place for you to go. They have specialists there that can help you. I once went to a lecture given by one of the specialists there and he was fantastic. They do have people that complain of the same chronic pain. One of his examples was actually a lady who had pain in one tooth after another and ended up with root canals in all of her teeth. Guess what? It didn't stop her pain either. She did eventually have all of her teeth extracted because the pain just moved from one spot to another. It's great that your dentist has realized this might be a problem for you before you hit the same drastic conclusion. It might be in your head but it feels real enough to you.
Reply:yes you most likely have TMJ temporal mandebular joint pain


it is called the great deceiver and can make anywhere hurt


it is a form of arthitis. you might try putting heat on the side that hurts that sometimes helps. You might also go to Walmart and get a retainer that will keep you from grinding you teeth when you sleep. Try also to cut out the stress in you life as much as possible. You are NOT nuts. You have a very real disease. You will not die from it but will sometimes wish you would. Look up TMJ on the internet for more information. Good Luck
