A member asked:
Can it be possible for untreated tmj to cause facial nerve damage?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Neurologist: Should see a neurologist. The numbness is a concern and may not even be tmj, but other underlying source of symptoms.

Never: Tmj problems have no relation to facial nerve problems. If you have facial nerve deficit, sounds more like a tumor. See an ENT or oral surgeon asap.

Only TMJ surgery: The facial nerve (CN VII) is always at risk and common complication of TMJ surgery.
