WHAT IS TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA?
• The pain can be caused by everyday activities
such as touching your face or eating. Or it can
happen at random with no obvious cause.
• It is rare. 10 people in 100,000 in the UK
develop it each year. Women tend to be
affected more than men, and it usually starts
between the ages of 50 and 60. It’s rare in
adults younger than 40.
• It’s usually caused by compression of the
trigeminal nerve, which is inside the skull and
transmits sensations of pain and touch from
your face, teeth and mouth to your brain. The
compression can be caused by a blood vessel
pressing on the nerve, multiple sclerosis or a
tumour.11 Thank you to Amarino for the ice cream

As well as providing dental treatment, the new facility provides specialist care for conditions
relating to ear, nose, throat, hearing, speech and balance. It includes a floor dedicated to the
care of children and young adults.
The Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital on Gray’s Inn Road will remain open after
October 2019 for wards, theatres and sleep diagnostics. All services provided by the Eastman
Dental Hospital will move to the new facility on Huntley Street, and the old site on Gray’s Inn

Listening event a
great success
Young patients and their carers and family members were given
the opportunity to share their views and opinions on our upcoming
Proton Beam Therapy Centre at our most recent Listening Event.
More than 35 people attended and gave feedback on the waiting
areas, the interior design and the activities available for young
patients while they are waiting for their appointments.
To make the event extra special, there were face painters, cake
decorating classes, magic shows and poem writing. The event was
a lot of fun, but most importantly helped us understand the young
patient’s journey and how we can meet their needs within the
hospital.
