Orofacial pain can arise from a variety of sources: temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ/TMD), muscle strain, jaw misalignment, nerve-related conditions (like trigeminal neuralgia), or habits like teeth grinding. An accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

Can a dentist really treat orofacial pain?

Yes, dentists who treat orofacial pain have extensive training in the anatomy and function of the head and neck. We use conservative, non-invasive approaches like oral appliances and physical therapy to relieve pain and restore function.

Will I need surgery?

Most cases of orofacial pain can be successfully managed with non-surgical treatments. We focus on conservative care first. Surgery is considered only in rare, severe cases and typically involves collaboration with specialists.
