Neuro disorder: It is a neurological disorder. There are no sores in the mouth. It is typically continuous pain that can feel like a tooth ache with no signs of a tooth problem.. It can also seem like a muscle pain. It is best diagnosed and treated with the help of an orofacial pain specialist who can rule-out other things that can feel like atypical facial pain.
