Chronic Facial Pain

Chronic facial pain is a persistent condition that affects the face, jaw, or surrounding areas, often causing discomfort that can interfere with daily activities such as eating, speaking, and sleeping. The pain may be sharp, burning, or constant, depending on the underlying cause.

If left untreated, chronic facial pain can significantly impact quality of life. Dr. Kavita Poply provides a personalised and patient-focused approach to diagnose and manage chronic facial pain effectively, helping patients achieve long-term relief.

What is Chronic Facial Pain?

Chronic facial pain refers to ongoing pain in the facial region that lasts for weeks or months. It may be related to nerve disorders, muscle tension, or underlying medical conditions.

The condition can vary in intensity and may affect one or both sides of the face.

Infections or inflammation

Identifying the root cause is essential for effective treatment.
