  Dental caries are permanently damaged areas in the teeth that develop into small holes. Common causes include sipping sugary drinks, eating sweets, frequent snacking, poor oral hygiene, and bacterial accumulation.

• Neuropathic pain

  Neuropathic pain is usually caused by an injury, disease, or problem with the somatosensory nervous system. This is a common long-term pain condition that greatly affects a person's quality of life. The nerves in this system are what let us feel things like temperature, pressure, and pain. This type of pain often feels like a burning, tingling, sharp, or stabbing sensation. It can be triggered by light touch or cold, and can be constant or come and go. It can also get worse when resting or at night. Neuropathic pain is often caused by viral infections like post-herpetic neuralgia, cancer, blood vessel abnormalities, alcoholism, diabetes, nerve pressure, nerve damage from surgery or accidents, and neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis and shingles.

• Sinusitis

  Infection of the sinuses, which are cavities around the nose. The infection can be acute (lasting about a week) or chronic (lasting more than three months). It can be caused by viruses or bacteria.

• Chronic pain
• Shingles
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Cancer pain
• Stomatitis
• Herpes simplex

• Bell's palsy

  Characterized by sudden weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles, Bell's palsy is usually temporary and occurs on one side of the face. The exact cause is unknown but is believed to be due to swelling and inflammation of the nerve controlling the facial muscles or viral infection. Anyone can be affected by this condition, but pregnant women, those with lung infections, and those with a family history of the condition are at higher risk.
