Daily migraine 4-6 pm right side follows trigeminal nerve taking imitrex (sumatriptan) sometimes 2x do i need a neuro consult?

Yes: I recommend seeing your neurologist as your having persistant pain that is not being relieved by medication that usually takes care of it. Wishing you the best.

MD or DDS?: Could be what used to be called trigeminal neuralgia and this can often be diagnosed and treated by a specially trained neuromuscular dentist, although clearance from a neurologist/md is always a good idea at first.
