PERSISTENT TOOTH/ ORAL PAIN

Persistent tooth or oral pain is a chronic pain condition involving the trigeminal nerve, which supplies sensation to the face, including the teeth and oral structures. This pain can mimic dental issues but persists even after dental treatment, such as tooth extractions or root canals, often being misdiagnosed as a dental problem. The pain is typically described as burning, tingling, or aching and may be constant or come in waves. It results from nerve damage or dysfunction rather than an actual tooth or oral issue.
