Specializes in Pain Management

Midface migraine: Although migraine is usually considered a headache, it can also present as pain in eye, jaw and/or the maxillary sinus which often confuses the diagnosis. Patients may even present with secondary autonomic symptoms such as nasal stuffiness. See Orofacial Pain or headache specialist for management.

R side facial pain: See your dentist to check for tooth and/or gum infections, deep decay, fractured teeth, TMJ dysfunction. An abcessed tooth can cause pain around the eyes. Other possibilities are migraines, sinus infection, neurological issues. If dental exam is normal, see your medical doctor.
