Bells_Palsy

Bell’s Palsy is a sudden, unexplained weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles, usually on one side of the face. It occurs when the seventh cranial nerve, also known as the facial nerve, becomes inflamed, disrupted, or compressed. This nerve controls the muscles responsible for facial expressions, so when it is affected, it can lead to a range of symptoms. If you or someone you know experiences sudden facial paralysis or related symptoms, please contact Naugatuck Valley ENT at (203) 578-4630 to set up an appointment for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
