What could cause someone to have constant twitches in face and head muscles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cranial Nerve VII: Many of the facial muscles are controlled by the facial nerve (cranial nerve vii). There are many different causes of damage to this nerve. You should consult with both a dentist and a medical doctor to determine the cause and possible treatment options. Sometimes these can be serious and should be evaluated promptly.
