A few years ago, I suffered from severe pain on the right side of my face. I didn't know why I suffered, so I visited my regular doctor for an exam. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong, so they recommended that I see a dentist for help. A dentist asked me a few questions about my dental health and examined the right side of my face. After the exam, the dentist revealed that I had an abscess in my jawbone. The infection began in a decayed molar and later spread to my jaw. I didn't even know that I had a cavity in the first place. The jaw pain masked the pain in my tooth. After several treatments, my pain is completely gone. I started this blog to help you find answers for your mysterious face and mouth pain. Hopefully, you can find treatment quickly. Good luck.
