facial pain

[antrakoka2]

I suffer from medium facial pain for three years already. It comes up one or two times a month (sometimes even more often) under my left eye or left cheekbone.  I went to neurologist but after MRI test he said there is nothing. Then  I went to dentist, who found infection in one of the last teeth and fixed it. But the pain still came up. So after that I visited another dentist who said everything with my teeth is OK. Sometimes I even have to take painkillers to stop the pain. I have no clue what kind of doctor should I  visit next?

I suggest you see an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon or an Oral/Facial Pain Specialist.  An MRI is not an appropriate test to identify a potiental infection or other pathology in the jaws.  A Panorex or CT is much better but only if correlated with clinical findings.
