Does having trigeminal neuralgia on one side of your mouth make it more likely for you to get it on the other side? I had it and had MVD without any complications or further pain. I recently thought that I had a toothache but the last 2 days it's been coming on strong and the intensity and intermittency have worried me. I'm going to go to dentist first becaus I don't want to believe that I could now have TN on the opposite side but I just wondered the likelihood that I might have this again.
