Orofacial Pain
Orofacial pain refers to discomfort or pain that occurs in the face, jaw, or mouth area. This type of pain can arise from various sources, including dental issues, jaw disorders, or nerve problems. Common conditions associated with orofacial pain include temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), toothaches, and trigeminal neuralgia.
Diagnosis of orofacial pain often involves a thorough examination by a healthcare professional, who may consider medical history and conduct imaging tests. Treatment options can vary based on the underlying cause and may include medications, physical therapy, or dental interventions to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
