Orofacial pain FAQs
What causes orofacial pain?
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.
How soon can I expect relief?
Many patients notice significant improvement within weeks of beginning treatment. Results may vary depending on the cause and severity of your condition, but our goal is to help you find relief as quickly and comfortably as possible.
