pain severity over time and continuous interrupted sleep patterns.Trigeminal neuralgia is often misdiagnosed as migraines, post-herpetic neuralgia, TMD and dental aetiology. 1 This case highlights that even in sustained pain-free episodes, if the patient's history is consistent with trigeminal neuralgia, then there should be a low threshold for requesting imaging. Dental practitioners reviewing patients with confirmed trigeminal neuralgia may wish to confirm whether an MRI of the brain has been performed previously.
