Actually, I ended up getting all my teeth removed and I am in full dentures now - and glad I did it... no more dentists and no more pain,plus it really really helped the Fibro too.
I had trigeminal neuralgia, and when the teeth were removed, all that pain ended right away.
So did most of my migraines, and about 80% of my "fibro muscle pains".
No more calf cramps while standing in the grocery line, no more twitching calves in the mornings.
Those neck pains from turning my head suddenly, and then a terrible headache, went away. Neck pains and teeth are very much linked. Eye pains too.
Sorry, I ended up talking about myself, isn't that typical. Just trying to relate what helped me - I really hope your sis can find some answers.

This is really important; thank you so much. We are sisters, but I have strong perfect teeth and she has only a few rotted teeth left, and they are in very bad condition. She is terrified of the dentist and is extremely traumatised right now, but I might be able to get her to consider going into hospital to have these dealt with. Your post has given me some hope.
