Which infection do you think the dental pain is from? I get it off and on, especially the upper back teeth, like a dull toothache, sometimes like tiny electrical shocks through my whole front jaw.
I've already had my sinuses checked though I suspect just because nothing showed up on the CT scan doesn't mean it's not a problem because it hurts below my eyes and around them too including below the temples.
I'd love to hear from you all who have/have had this problem. thanks!

I've seen dental pain as a symptom of FL1953, but I don't know if it's a symptom of other TBI's.
I'm sure someone more knowledgable will provide some feedback.

My llmd said Lyme. Nerves in teeth.

I have FL1953 and I do not have tooth pain. It is not a routine symptom of FL1953 aka-Protomyxozoa rheumatica.
All of these diseases love our joints and tendons/muscles. A lot of upper tooth pain is from the TMJ or tendons/muscles from the joint and it radiates to the upper teeth/nerves.

Thanks all- could someone tell me which lab your doctor used to test for the FL1953 bug?

Bartonella. I lost massive amounts of jawbone because of that. All made worse through dead teeth, aka root canals.
Bartonella did the same thing a couple hundred years ago! See link. Dr. K. contacted the researcher a number of years ago, because he has been finding the same over the years. Who knows -- there are mutations of all sorts and of course there are many different Bartonella types.
Some people can correct it with ozone, etc. Mine was completely repaired surgically, but I no longer have any root canaled teeth! or crowns with different metal alloys.
Bugs love the jawbone because of low perfusion. They feel safe there. But the infection has a tendency to spread from wherever it starts. So it is important to pay attention to it.
Take care.

Fry Labs in Scottsdale does the testing for the FL1953 protozoan.
You can get into their website, just google Fry Labs

how do you get the bugs out of your teeth? I have been having awful tooth problems for years. It was my original symptom

Bart for me. I can sure tell when I take my A-BART that jaw,tongue,cheeks,gums hurt like a herx.
The other 2 Byron White herbals and other things I take don't do that to me.
I am needing to manifest big time $$ for a Lyme literate dentist who uses ozone and other protocols.

My teeth have been breaking off at the gumlines. I suppose they are dying but they don't look like they have cavities.
I have always kept up with my dental cleanings twice a year and got the necessary fillings, crowns, root canals, braces, etc.
I thought it was my Morgellons since many with it have teeth issues.
I never heard that TMJ was associated with Lyme. I have it so bad I was supposed to have my jaw joints replaced 3 years ago but I couldn't scrape up the large deductible and co-insurance the doctor asked for since he didn't accept insurance.
My dentist said I was clenching and that caused the TMJ. Made sense as I had severe arthritic pain.
If the dentist removes the root canals how do the teeth keep their stability and not crumble? This must be very expensive.

Healing in Santa Cruz, and anyone else who clenches, try GABA (it rocks--saved me). I think lyme depletes this from our bodies--hence the need to replace it.
