This is very good thread to be bumped.  As many of you know I too suffer from TN, it is a very, very debilitating, painful condition.  I had a root canal done three months after surgery that was totally not needed and not the problem.  My teeth do ache and my jaw line as well.  Today I did a lot of laughing, mind you I hold my face to support it, and I did a lot of smiling so now I pay the piper.  Heat, gentle tapping and thank goodness Lyrica.  Hopefully I'll sleep and tomorrow will be relatively painless.
