Non Stop Oral Facial Dental Pain. Had Root Canals Done. Suggestions
I have endured chronic stabbing electric shocking burning non stop oral facial dental pain for over four years. I have had root canals on all upper teeth and tip of roots removed on six; yet the pain returns. Oral surgeon says it is neuralga; enodonist says bite has caused loose teeth/pain; only relief is antibiotics and loratab; I just want pain to stop. I believe I have a hairline fracture on one or more teeth, which is causing infection, which is causing neuro pain; but cannot locate a doctor to help me. Any suggestions

Thanks for putting your question in HCM
as you have stated you have burning and stabbing like pain, it clearly suggest neuralgic type of pain, but before the correct diagnosis I must know about the duration of pain or whether it disturbs your sleep or not???
however according to your given description it is neuralgia and root canal or peri apical surgery may not help you.
