My Mystery Tooth Pain: How a Hidden Cyst Changed Everything | Dr. Slava’s Story
In this jaw-dropping episode of What’s Up Doc, Dr. Slava shares a personal dental mystery that even top specialists couldn’t solve. For nearly 18 months, she experienced stabbing pain behind her eye—pain so severe, it threatened her ability to work as a dentist. X-rays, CT scans, root canal checks, and multiple consultations all showed nothing unusual. Until one day, she pushed for the tooth to be removed—and the truth finally came out.
What was the cause? A hidden cyst wrapped around the back root of a molar, invisible to every scan until it was finally extracted.
This story is more than a medical case—it's a lesson in trusting your instincts, the limits of diagnostic tools, and the complex nature of dental pain.
