Very unusual case, dentist/ doctors surprised

Hi everyone,
I will try to be brief and I would really appreciate any advice you can give me.

About me - I am 25 years old, living in London, smoker.

In 2009 I was offered to take a panoramic x-ray that showed I am a lucky owner of 6 wisdom teeth (WT): two on each side on the top and one on each at the bottom. Back then I had both removed, one was ok, second (left hand side!!!) resulted in broken jaw and after 5 injections, was still painful in what felt like sinuses.

THE ISSUE: In the last 1 year or so, I have struggled with: strong neck pains, pressire in jaws, severe dizziness and loss of balance, migranes, electric shock like feeling on the cheeck (inside/ on the left) and eye and nose ticks (eye right/ nose left), bruxism (I got a mouthguard for that but helps only for a short time), anxiety, swollen glands, difficulty opening mouth or talking/ smiling too long, pressure in eyes and ofter broken veins, one nostril blocked (left side) and what feels like loose painful teeth. I was writing a diary to see what causes it, as was recommended to do by the professor in Kings College Hospital (KCH), but still cannot figure it out what causes it, as it is not a permanent consition, sympsoms come and go and sometimes randomly happen one at a time. Also seems to get little better when standing and walking, but only for short time, them symptoms come back.

My back WT are impacted and all teeth are located close to the nerve (left bottom WT grown around the nerve and already has a cavity in).

I am again hurting and if there are any professional dentists/ doctors/ professors I would greatly appreciate advice on what to do.

P.S went to GP - would give me antibiotics that does not work (thinks its a nerve pain) and offered the referral, then said surgery dont have anough money to refer. Professor at KCH said that teeth will need to eventially come out, but she does not want to touch them until they start disturbing. I guess that means, she would not see me unless I am in tears, I dont know what to do, because all those things greatly affecting my everyday life - please help.

I am always sad to see problems like yours as often times they are very hard to control, despite the effort you may put into oral hygiene.

One thing though that others will probably mention - you have to stop smoking completely... I'm sure you know, but smoking causes chaos throughout your whole body. Not to mention future lung cancer and other problems.

Good luck!

dknight211, thank you.

I agree completely about smoking, cutting down considerably week to week, but now in pain, did not want to smoke anyhow, just makes you feel worse. I think will get there soon.

Re: Very unusual case, dentist/ doctors surprised

hi there! i am a little unclear as to what happened and when. were both WT removed on the uppers? (that is, did they take out both upper WT on both sides? that would be 4 teeth removed on the upper arch, right? or did they only take out one on each side, 2 total?) it sounds like maybe both lower WT are still in place, one of which has developed a cavity? and when your jaw was broken was that while removing the upper molars? sorry so many questions but i am trying to picture what has happened in order to maybe shed some light on what might be going on now, and what can be done to aleviate your symptoms. your life is being hijjacked by all this, but i hope maybe i might be able to figure out something or at least the right place to go to get this untangled or maybe at least improved!
