Trigeminal neuralgia, as well as other orofacial types of pain, which make the differential diagnosis, can frequently be diagnosed as odontalgies, and stomatologic treatments are initiated, without relieving pain, and bringing the patients some complications. I will insist on the differential diagnosis of the different types of pain and on their specific treatments, in order to establish a better teamwork between stomatologists and neurologists, and a better outcome.
