Neuropathic pain triggered by gum recession

Hello all,

My pain started 8 months ago, I noticed I had a recessed gum on one of my teeth.

So I went to the dentist, maxillo-facial surgeon, hygienist and periodontist, they all said the pain wasn’t due to a dental problem.

I went to my GP and a neurologist and now I’m on carbamazapine and gabapentin but these don’t help stop the pain.

I’m now looking for pain management consultants in London, I’ve identified Dr Woo as a good potential option however his price is expensive at £250 for a consult.

It seems like the recessed gum has put pressure on the nerve which is causing the pain.

Here to discuss if anyone has similar experiences or can offer advice.

Thanks!
