Mental Health Support

Perhaps talk with your primary care physician and explain everything. If it is specifically nerve pain (neuropathic pain) or chronic rebound pain, there may be a role for gabapentin (or pregabalin) or amantadine among other options (but I am only mentioning the NON-opioids and not other classes of drugs that can be more problematic). Primary care physicians should be familiar with that approach or should recognize the role of a pain clinic referral.

Perhaps your PCP would even agree to discuss/consult with the dentist about your current care?
