i am being treated for trigeminal neuralgia without surgery. there's a doctor in fairfield, ct. who is both a medical doctor and dentist. for anyone who is suffering from this condition, as i have been for 5 years, it is worth a visit to her. she's helped me so much, maybe she can help you. my dentists kept telling me all those years that my sinuses were affecting my gums. i had two teeth out but it turns out it was this facial nerve all along.
