Hey,

Mhmm. I would not rule out the cause of your pain as cranial nerve damage. More or less it seems related to dentistry. Or you could have TMJ.

Hi Lily. It would be the 5th cranial nerve because it innervates the muscles of mastication. See the link for more details.

Best wishes and good luck.

If the problem is neurological, it would be the seventh cranial nerve (facial nerve). More likely it would be from some other problem, though.

it could just be a jaw problem

go to a chiropractor and if that doesn't help then go to a neurologist
