Orofacial pain / toothaches with no dental origin / headaches

Update: After many doctor visits and tests it turned out that all the issues I was having were due to sinusitis AND low B12. Both issues have now been resolved and my symptoms have faded away. I hope this helps someone out there who may be suffering from similar symptoms. Here’s what I learned: If you have dental pain and the dentist says it is not the tooth, then get your sinuses checked. If you experience new headaches or numbness, have your doctor check your B12 level. Wishing good health to all.

Hey there,

Very interested in your post. I've had this dull ache / soar gum for a couple of years in an area where a lot of dental work was done. Multiple door canals etc. apicoectomy - lots of 3D scans by multiple could not find any issue so I had the tooth removed. Pain came back. I saw an ENY who said my sinuses were blocked and he did a balloon sinuplasty. That didn't seem to help much and pain the same after a while. I was diagnosed, without imaging, with Atypical Trigemenal neuralgia. On Carababazapene - amytrypline etc. with mild relief.

I had an MRI done at Mayo - with contrast - and the nerve looks fine. The MRI did show chronic pansinitus - so seeing a sinus specialist next week. Fingers crossed that's what my issue is and some meds can handle it at last.

Thanks

Older post, but how did your sinusitis resolve?
