Trigeminal neuralgia is a severe facial pain disorder that can be caused by hidden dental infections. Maybe a failed root canal or a improperly healed extraction site. Treatment for trigeminal neuralgia caused by a dental infection typically involves removing the infected tooth or surgery to clean out the infection in a cavitation. Once the infection is cleared, the pain should subside. Think you may have trigeminal neuralgia? Get a cone beam CT scan. #trigeminalneuralgia #facialpain #dentalinfe
