Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:
Dysarthria is a type of speech disorder, medically known as unclear speech or inarticulate speech, commonly referred to as "slurred speech." It is caused by spasms in the language center of the nervous system due to facial nerve palsy. During speech, pronunciation, articulation, and enunciation become unclear, making it difficult for listeners to understand. It is usually treated by the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
