I think your oral surgeon is pretty bright. I have the same problem with my face around my left eye, jaw, mouth, throat and tongue. The last few weeks it has moved into my nasal sinus area. Boy does this hurt! You not alone in having these awful symptoms. Your problem can certainly be caused by SFN. You've already had a MRI of your spine, correct? I'm not sure what your oral surgeon means by checking the ganglia....
