Constant pain?: You really need to find out the cause of this constant pain. It does not make sense to take constant pain medication.

Trigeminal Neuralgia: Tn is a specific name to a type of facial pain. It can take a few doctors visits to get a final ruling. Don't wait it is not cancer but the pain can cause anxiety! think flesh/tissue and not nerves (proper) for face pain! begin a self-care wellness program of vits, magnesium glycinate, sleep hygiene, self/pro massage, chiropractor, heat, epsom soaking, stretching. I use acupuncture! see my files.

None: At least until a diagnosis has been provided. There may be something serious and pain meds may prolong getting appropriate treatment.

Diagnosis: Diagnosis required before treatment. See TMJ-oral facial pain specialist for diagnosis/treatment recommendations. Any dentist can be a TMJ orofac8al pain 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.
