Unknown: Symptoms can come and go--esp. At menopause. Usually a centrally mediated nerve disruption (in the brain/brainstem). If palliative measures are inadequate ("magic mouthwash" with topical anesthetic to numb pain), ask your dentist about Elavil (amitriptyline) 10mg at bedtime. At 150mg or higher it is an anti depressant with side effects. At 10mg, provides great relief of burning pain of neuropathic origin.
