Understanding Oral Facial Pain
Oral facial pain encompasses a variety of conditions that affect the mouth, jaw, face and surrounding areas. Common causes include:

  • Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders: Issues with the joint connecting the jaw to the skull can lead to pain, clicking or difficulty moving the jaw.
  • Muscle Pain: Overuse or tension in the facial muscles can cause discomfort.
  • Neuropathic Pain: Nerve-related issues may result in chronic or intermittent pain.
  • Dental Conditions: Toothaches, abscesses or other dental problems can contribute to facial pain.

Because these conditions often overlap, accurate diagnosis is critical for effective treatment.
