A member asked:

What to do if i have had a facial twitch and pain in my jaw and teeth on right side of my face what's going on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tic Douloureux: I would see your dentist or an oral pathologist at your nearest dental school and have them run some tests to rule out a condition called tic douloureux!

I've had awful pain in the right side of my face (jaw, teeth, gums) for the past three days. Can this be TN although the pain is constant rather than sudden? 50 mg Tramadol did not help very much.

A member asked:

The bottom of my left jaw is bigger than the other and it bulges out causing my face to look unsymmetrical. Is this an issue with my wisdom teeth or salivary glands? Or could it be because I chew on one side more than the other?
