Contact UsAbout Facial Pain
When you have facial pain, simply smiling, talking, or eating can be difficult. Many different conditions can cause facial pain, from temporomandibular joint disorder to complex nerve disorders. Nerve pain, atypical facial pain, or trigeminal neuralgia occurs when a blood vessel at the base of the skull exerts pressure directly on the nerve caused by either trauma to the nerve, multiple sclerosis, or a tumor compressing the nerve.
The type of pain also varies in each person. Some may have acute, severe pain, and others may experience chronic or constant pain but with less intensity. Facial pain is often described as shooting, stabbing, or electrical shock-like pain. Still, others may have constant aching or burning sensations in the cheek, lips, mouth, eyes, or forehead.
Examples include:
- Tic Douleroux
- Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Rosacea
- Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
- TMJ
- Tinnitus

Had my first appointment today with Dr T. Was extremely impressed by the doctor and the staff that I had contact with. You can tell they care about their patients and want to help their patients. That means a lot. At this point I would highly recommend them.Had my third appointment today I am so impressed with these doctors all of the staff is just wonderful. The doctors actually listen to me they respect my past experiences. My opinions on what's worked and hasn't worked. It's hard to find doctors that will do that anymore I appreciate them so much.
