I eventually had to confront the ER doctor face to face and told him that this was not a joke.

"I am no doctor, but this will be your speciality today because she is under your care. You sent her home once and now she is not waking up. You will help her, or you will be searching for YOUR license SIR."

My mother was catching hell and I couldn't do anything without professional help. So I had him observe my mother, he apologized and admitted her. Now she's going to physical therapy.

Have the tooth pulled./ I had the same problem with a root canal. Some people are allergic to the medication they use in a root canal I was. Root canals can cause some people many problems.

Pain is a subjective experience.
The cause cannot alwa y s be found, or demonstrated on x-ray or other tests.

Find out what makes it better. Ice, heat, anti-inflammatory meds, massage, acupuncture, chiropractor, e-oils, rest, distractions (like t.v.)or anything?

Excuse me for asking, but what does this statement mean???:

"My mom's history is that her situation needs addressing and anyone else's similar situation she lowers its importance. "

I think the OP is describing his mother's world view, no?

Hi JaradW99,
I felt compelled to answer this question. I am 54 and have dealt with a very similar root canal issues. I had a Root Canal and kept having pain in that tooth, even though the dentist say’s the root/tooth is dead and I shouldn’t be having pain. I also saw 2 different Entodontists for second opinions. The Dentist and Entodontists and myself, have all come to the conclusion that this is Neurological/Nerve issue. I have other health issues and Neurological
issues. The tooth does indeed hurt, sometimes more than others and the pain has not gone away. I don’t believe this has anything to do with Dementia and we all have different pain thresholds.
Sometimes my tooth really hurts. I would think the Doctors would give her a painkiller and maybe a sedative to help her relax. My pain is coming from a nerve related issue and I don’t expect it will ever go away, I just deal with it the best I can. On digital X Rays, exams etc, I’m told the Root canal looks perfectly done. But, it still hurts. It is possible your mother is experiencing the same thing or something similar. Just because the Dr’s do not see it, does not mean your poor mother is not in pain.

Facial, dental, and head pain is felt more intensely than a more distant part of the body. I hope that you were able to get to the source of the problem.

The first sign of my husbands Dementia was complaint of terrible headaches when there was none. Perhaps anxiety medications could help
