Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Nerves touching wisdom tooth can not be the reason of pain. Your opg shows a lesion behind the lower left wisdom tooth (we have to check clinically for pericoronitis). Since facial pain is alternating on right and left side of face this can be associated to your temperomandibular joint as well. Further scanning is required with detailed history and clinical correlation.
Try using hot fermentation on the joint in front of your ears (temperomandibular joint).
Next Steps
clinical palpation of facial muscles
