Atypical odontalgia
Odontalgia is a medical word for toothache. Atypical odontalgia is a severe and continuous discomfort in the teeth or a tooth socket that is not caused by any apparent dental problems. Oddly the pain may be made worse if dental treatment is pursued, though it is very common for teeth to have been removed by the time the diagnosis becomes clear. The pain often begins after a tooth has been taken out or following a root filling.
