Face pain may be caused by toothache or by inflammation of the nasal and sinus cavities. Jaw pain may in fact be a psychological problem—teeth-grinding is a frequent cause—but it can also be due to the head sitting awkwardly on the shoulders, which can produce increased strain on the joint between the jaw and the skull.
