You may notice:

Pain that seems to come out of nowhere.
Brief periods of stabbing or shooting pain.
Pain when you brush your teeth, wash your face, shave, or put on makeup. Even a light breeze might set off your pain.
It lasts a few seconds to several minutes.
Attacks several times a day or a week, followed by pain free periods.
Pain on one side of the face.
Attacks happen more often and pain gets worse.
The pain mostly affects your cheek, jaw, teeth, gums, and lips. It’s less common in your eyes and forehead.
