Facial pain and headaches can often be the result of nerve conditions, jaw and dental problems, and infections. Facial pain usually originates from a specific area of the face, or it may radiate from another part of the head.

Facial pain can be further categorized into one of several types:

• Dental pain
• Nerve conditions that affect the facial nerves
• Temporomandibular pain: related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles of the jaw vascular pain that occurs due to issues with blood vessels and blood flow.

Most people are not aware that bad bites can cause TMJ migraines and headaches. This happens when your teeth are misaligned and do not fit together properly. This puts strain on both muscles and the brain, causing headaches and migraines. Medical doctors often use medication to manage the pain someone has, and it can include  muscle injections. However, these treatments only manage the pain and they do not the prevent the pain. Therefore, dental TMJ treatments and therapy can eliminate the pain altogether.
