Trigeminal neuralgia


Understanding and managing Trigeminal neuralgia is very important for dental professionals, as it is often mistaken for severe toothache.

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from the face to the brain. Characterised by sudden, severe, and sharp facial pain, often described as electric-shock-like, it can occur in bouts lasting from a few seconds to several minutes.

The pain, typically felt on one side of the face, can be triggered by everyday activities such as eating, talking, or touching the face. The ability to correctly diagnose trigeminal neuralgia can help avoid unnecessary dental treatment and provide appropriate advice to patients.

Our course on 'Trigeminal neuralgia' covers the causes, diagnosis, and treatment options, providing comprehensive knowledge on this important topic.
