Might a toothache cause trigeminal neuralgia, or the other way around?

It should not: Trigeminal neuralgia could make you feel like you have a toothache. Please see your dentist for evaluation.

Yes and no: It can stimulate a trigeminal neuralgia flareup. So in a round about way you could say it was a causative factor.

Trigeminal neuralgia: The specific cause of trigeminal neuralgia is not known, so it cannot be ruled out, but it is uncommon.

Definitely, no: Dental procedures do not cause trigeminal neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia is a disease that may cause pain in the teeth or surrounding tissues.
