Larry,
Most of George's upper teeth have been taken out too. Although x-rays showed problems and reasons for pulling them, we're now wondering if at least the last tooth shouldn't have been taken out. After reading your message, Larry, and others about dental mistreatment, it makes one wonder how many people with CH this has happened/is happening to??? Dentists need to become aware! It surely would've helped if George's dentist had thought of CH as a possiblity a month ago, especially when severe pain continued after novacaine injections and the extraction (and it was a tooth that had had a root canal).
I have to say that finding this site and realizing that he's not the only one going through this has really helped him. Not being alone and being able to put a name on what his problem might be -- well, I know it's helped a lot. Thank you so much.
