Can a Tooth Extraction Cause Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Posted By Firdaus (Andhrapradesh Visakhapatnam) on 11/11/2015

My mother is 75 she is suffering with TN from the last 2 months, she underwent an tooth extraction 2 back, and it all started then. Will the tooth extraction be one of the reasons for trigeminal neuralgia?

The answer is yes. Last year I visited a site that was about root canals. There were many cases and because of this info. I would not see a dentist, and do my own thing.

However if you go to Puttaparthy, there is a free hospital for the region and they would be helpful to direct you to a dental section in that free hospital. You can also find out about it on RADIO SAI on the net.

Namaste, Om
