TN and salt water rinses

Hi everyone

I have been having bad pain on one side of my face/mouth for the past few months (my dentist couldn't seem to work out what the issue is). I saw my doctor a couple of weeks ago who believes it is trigeminal neuralgia however I've noticed the pain will dissappear whenever I do salt water rinses. It's my understanding that if the issue is nerve pain/TN that salt water rinses would not relieve the pain and in some cases could even make it worse.

Would love to get your thoughts :-)
