See a dentist and a specialist who can x-ray your teeth and make sure you have no cracks. My neuralgia was immediately controlled when my tooth broke. Evidently hairline cracks in your teeth apply pressure to the nerves which result in the pressure and headaches. It was the most horrible pain in the world. I don’t know what I would’ve done if my wisdom tooth didn’t break after four months. I took the opioid. I had on hand for my degenerative disc condition for the ON pain. The dentist told me that hairline cracks in your teeth can go unnoticed on the x-rays.Good luck.

@loriesco Wow Thank goodness. solved your problem. For years I had reoccuring ulcers on my tright side of my tongue they would go away come back they hurt so bad could not eat very well.
Finally a Dr. suggested I could be having problems with the mercury in my teeth. Sure enough
they removed all my old filllings, sores went away never came back!!!!!
