Hello @plo99ca, Welcome to Connect. I know it must be frustrating not being able to find a solution after seeing so many doctors and specialists. I'm hoping your upcoming MRI may provide some answers. While we wait for other members with experience to reply, I thought I would share a few articles about orofacial pain and the difficulty of diagnosing the cause.

--- Pain, headache, and oromandibular structures:

--- Pain in your teeth or face may actually originate in other parts of the head—and a form of migraine may be the cause.: https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/resource-library/orofacial-pain/.

I also found this patient story shared in another discussion on Trigeminal Neuralgia here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/trigeminal-neuralgia-2273cc/.
--- After More Than Two Decades, Ellen Bids Devastating Facial Pain Goodbye https://sharing.mayoclinic.org/2020/03/02/after-more-than-two-decades-ellen-bids-devastating-facial-pain-goodbye/: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/after-more-than-two-decades-ellen-bids-devastating-facial-pain-goodbye/.

Can you post an update after your upcoming MRI with contrast?
