Had three dental surgery several years ago due to a failed implant and resulting loss of additional teeth and part of jaw due to osteomyelitis. Since that time have extensive nerve pain involving inferior alveolar nerve, more commonly called trigeminal neuropathy. Several doctors say neurosurgical procedures would NOT be of benefit, so I live with Gabapentin, Advil, Tylenol, etc. What complicates the situation is I need surgery sooner vs. later to have some implants placed so a partial denture can be built and clipped in / out (I lost a total of seven teeth due to the infection). Wondering if any experts out there have suggestions? Frustrating how such a simple procedure changed my life forever...
