A member asked:

I am experiencing muscle twitches lasting a few seconds on the left side of my lower face. could this possibly be a mild form of bell's palsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: You could possess early hemifacial spasms or even facial myokymia, or these twitches could represent a primary dental issue with secondary local responses. Propose you see a neurologist and get this assessed if it persists.
