How Can Trigeminal Neuralgia Be Treated?

Hello, I have growths in the my top of mouth do to problems (incompetence) with a 6 tooth permanent bridge. I have been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia type 2. I KNEW THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. However, I also knew that all of the systems suggested the diagnosis. I now have no top teeth. When I had the the last 2 teeth pulled (the teeth at the ends of the bridge) the Detest found growths,in circles, around each tooth pulled. I am in agony and am now at my end. Is there any way you can help me? Please...lead me in the right direction. Thank you, Leslie Jo

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The growths can be due to a number of causes like soft tissue overgrowth or it can be due to warts.
So first of all the exact nature of the growth has to be diagnosed.
So for this you should consult an oral surgeon and get evaluated and a biopsy can be done for confirmation.
Further treatment can be planned accordingly.
If you are in pain you should take painkillers like Ultracet or Ketorolac.
Also take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
