Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam! I already presented my problem to you at the beginning of November. After further examinations I have now been diagnosed with dental neuralgia. The trigeminal pain appeared after treatment of the lower right first molar (replacement of the filling and repeated mandibular-block injections). The dentist at the maxillofacial clinic advised me against any dental procedures (except urgent ones) until remission. Do you have experience with cases like mine? I am worried about how my teeth will be treated in the future and what will happen with prosthetic work – whether neuralgia will be triggered every time. I still have four teeth where old fillings need to be replaced, and one tooth will need to be replaced prosthetically.
Thank you very much for your answer.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
I completely agree with the assessment of the dentist who advised you against procedures until the condition improves. I would add that procedures on the opposite side should not affect the triggering of neuralgic pain on the affected side. Experience shows us that it is almost impossible to predict when and in what way improvement will occur and therefore when treatment could be continued. It is likewise difficult or impossible to predict what will trigger another surge of pain. I believe that the decision to perform a procedure should be made according to the relative risk that postponing the procedure could cause.
Have a nice day!
