Facial Pain
Facial pain refers to discomfort or pain experienced in the face, which can arise from various causes. Common sources include dental issues, sinus infections, or nerve conditions like trigeminal neuralgia. The pain can be sharp, aching, or throbbing and may affect specific areas such as the cheeks, jaw, or forehead.
Diagnosis of facial pain often involves a medical history review and physical examination. Treatment options vary based on the underlying cause and may include medications, physical therapy, or dental procedures. In some cases, addressing the root cause can significantly alleviate the pain and improve quality of life.
