Does anyone out there have this-certain teeth hurt-almost a burning sensation or feeling like there is a vice?

Question: grip around the hurting teeth. And yet there is nothing dental wrong with the teeth. It is connected to injury to the trigeminal nerve and can be caused by regular preventive dental work-even a simple teeth cleaning. Does anyone know anything about this? The pain is constant and sometimes abit relieved by placing pressure on the teeth.

Trigeminal nerve damage is practically impossible to cause with simple teeth cleaning, unless you somehow managed to accidentally jab a scalpal into the side of your neck.

There is no evidence to support trigeminal nerve damage during routine dental treatment.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a real condition though where the nerve starts giving off weird sensations such as burning.


[wikipedia quote]:
"Several theories exist to explain the possible causes of this pain syndrome. Among the structural causes, damage to the myelin sheath of this nerve causes the electrical impulses traveling along it to be erratic or excessive, activating pain regions or deactivating pain inhibitory regions in the brain. The damage may be caused by an aneurysm (an outpouching of a blood vessel) or abnormally coursing artery compressing the nerve, most frequently at the area of its cerebellopontine nerve root; the superior cerebellar artery has been an oft-cited culprit. 2 to 4% of patients with TN, usually younger, have evidence of multiple sclerosis, which may damage either the trigeminal nerve or other related parts of the brain. Trigeminal Neuralgia may also be caused by a tumor or a traumatic event such as a car accident. When there is no structural cause, the syndrome is called idiopathic. Postherpetic Neuralgia, which occurs after shingles, may cause similar symptoms if the trigeminal nerve is affected."
