What Is A Board-Certified Orofacial Pain Specialist?

First, it is important to define the specialty of Orofacial Pain. Orofacial Pain (OFP) is the specialty of dentistry that encompasses the diagnosis, management, and treatment of pain disorders of the jaw, mouth, face, head, and neck. The specialty of OFP is dedicated to the evidenced-based understanding of the underlying pathophysiology, etiology, prevention, and treatment of these disorders and improving access to interdisciplinary patient care.

Therefore, an Orofacial Pain specialist is highly skilled at treating a number of pain conditions and, at times, wears several hats, including that of a “Jaw Pain Specialist” or “TMJ Specialist.” At other times the Orofacial Pain specialist focuses on nerve pain disorders, persistent tooth pain, headaches, and sleep breathing disorders.

To become Orofacial Pain specialists, our doctors have passed a board examination taken after countless hours of continuing education, teaching, and managing pain patients in their offices.

When seeking Orofacial Pain or TMJ treatment near you, it’s important to look for a board-certified Orofacial Pain Specialist. Board-certified indicates that the jaw pain specialist has passed a board examination and has years of experience in diagnosing and treating TMJ problems and a variety of distinctly different Orofacial pain problems.

At New York TMJ & Orofacial Pain, our jaw pain specialists are among the best in the world. They have been tackling the challenges of treating TMJ for decades, even before Orofacial Pain was designated as a specialty by The American Dental Association.

How To Find TMJ Treatment Near You

Since the official designation of Orofacial Pain specialist is rather new, there are of course, a handful of practicing dentists in this country that are known within their practicing communities as TMJ or jaw pain specialists. These dentists have dedicated their careers (long before this specialty designation came about) to help people who suffer from the painful and life-limiting conditions caused by TMJ.

If your dentist, oral surgeon, or other healthcare provider doesn’t seem to have an answer to your TMJ pain, facial pain, lockjaw, persistent toothache, or headaches and is willing to help you find a jaw pain specialist who is experienced in treating TMJ or other Orofacial Pain problems – ask them for a referral to an Orofacial Pain specialist.

If you live or work in the New York City metropolitan area and want to find TMJ treatment near you, please call (888) 560-6674 to make an appointment at one of our conveniently located offices located in Manhattan, Westchester, and Long Island. Or, you can fill out this form , and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

The Bottom Line

If you have persistent symptoms that are limiting your ability to eat, enjoy intimacy, or even talk – remember, board-certified Orofacial Pain specialists are the jaw pain specialists who have the most knowledge and experience at treating TMJ and Orofacial Pain Problems.

Our doctors are dedicated to teaching and mentoring young dentists who have an interest in treating TMJ and Orofacial Pain problems. We want to increase the number of Orofacial Pain specialists, so it’s much easier to find TMJ treatment near you.
