Can trigeminal nerve be damaged by unsuccessful root canal of upper teeth premolar?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The Trigeminal nerve is not near your upper teeth. A branch called the maxillary division of the Trigeminal provides enervation to your upper teeth. It is very unlikely that the root canal treatment damaged the nerve.
