Use the Mesh Cleaner to quickly repair mesh problems such as degenerate edges and faces.
Modify panel > Make a selection > Modifier List > Object-Space Modifiers > Mesh Cleaner

Degenerate edges and face contain two vertex indices that are identical. Faces therefore have no geometric area, and no normal. Degenerate edges include a zero-linked edge.
