Does couldatypical facial pain give you swelling under your eyes?

Yes: If you have a dental abcess in a upper front tooth (inciscor or canine) it is possible to get swelling under the eye. This can be a very dangerous infection. You should see a dentist asap.

Yes! Not to fear.: Atypical facial pain if chronic is myofascial or muscles and flesh until proven otherwise. These tight muscles can compress venous and lymphatic return and cause puffiness under the eyes. Heat, acupressure and see my other post because all pain issue are linked and have to be treated the same.

NO: No. Make sure you are being managed by a TMJ-orofacial pain doc. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
