Bell's Palsy: Bell's Palsy, inflammation of the Facial Nerve and/or surrounding tissues. See your General Dentist, General Physician or Urgent Care (not ER), Specialist in Oral Pathology, or a Specialist Neurologist for physical examination and differential diagnosis. For best resolution, seek examination as soon as possible.
