In many cases, pain often occurs in the jaw so it is often considered to be a toothache. As a result, many of the patients went to the dentist. In fact, when examined by a dentist, there is actually no problem with your teeth. You will instead be referred to a neurologist or neurosurgeon. There are also cases where patients go through a tooth extraction procedure because there are indeed problems with their teeth. However, after the tooth is removed, the pain does not go away. This is because the main cause of pain is the blood vessels attached to the base of the Trigeminal nerve. Thus, irritation continues to follow the pulse of the arteries. However, there are also several other causes, but the incidence is relatively rare, namely tumors, inflammation, and the former infection. Usually patients are required to do an MRI examination to make sure.
