When irritated, compressed, or injured, these nerves can cause:

• Sharp, stabbing, or burning pain in the jaw, chin, or lower lip
• Sensory changes like numbness, tingling, or hypersensitivity
• Pain triggered by eating, brushing teeth, or speaking
• Unexplained “phantom tooth pain” or dental discomfort with no clear source

Common Causes

Mandibular and mental neuralgia may arise from:

• Dental surgery or extractions (especially wisdom teeth)
• Jaw trauma or fractures
• Mandibular nerve compression from dental implants or bone overgrowth
• Scar tissue following cosmetic or reconstructive procedures
• Herpes zoster (shingles) involving the trigeminal nerve

How Cryoneurolysis Helps

Barcelona Cryo Center uses ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis to precisely target affected branches of the mandibular and mental nerves. By applying controlled cold energy, the nerve is safely deactivated to interrupt pain signals — without destroying the nerve permanently.

Key Benefits:

• Minimally invasive: Performed through a tiny skin puncture with no need for general anesthesia
• Selective and reversible: Motor function and nearby tissues are preserved
• Long-lasting pain relief: Patients often experience relief for several months
• No medications required: A drug-free alternative to systemic therapy
• Repeatable and safe: Cryoneurolysis can be used again if symptoms return

Ideal Candidates

You may benefit from cryoneurolysis if you:

• Have persistent or shock-like pain in the jaw, chin, or mouth
• Experience pain triggered by routine oral movement or hygiene
• Have undergone prior dental or facial surgery with lingering nerve pain
• Want a non-destructive, minimally invasive alternative to nerve ablation

Start Your Journey Toward Relief

Living with mandibular or mental neuralgia can make everyday activities painful and exhausting. Cryoneurolysis offers a clear path forward — restoring comfort without surgery or long-term medications.
